Red Art Deco Wallpaper for Living Rooms
Art Deco design, born in 1920s Paris, celebrates symmetry, fans, sunbursts and stepped forms. It adds instant glamour, especially in metallic-look tones.
The living room is where most people start with wallpaper. A feature wall behind the sofa or across the chimney breast gives an instant focal point without overwhelming the space.
Red is energising and sociable – historically the colour of dining rooms and libraries.
