Defining art deco wall murals

This artistic style which actually defined the decades between World War I and II has eluded a consistent definition in the years since the height of its popularity. Originally, art deco took on many forms between the first and second world wars. This was ranging from the exotic and ornate decorations of the 1920s to the avant-garde streamlined and sleek stylization of the 1930s and 40s, some of which you will see in our collection of art deco wall murals. Perhaps best known for its use in architecture, particularly in skyscrapers such as the Empire State Building, it was also widely used in works of art such as murals, sculptures and graphic design, mainly to depict American culture in the early 20th century. "Empire State Building - Blue Print" is a concrete example of this, an art deco wall mural that would not look out of place in the board room at the office, but can also make for a great wall decor in your residence.

The framework

Art deco is usually a pretty easy aesthetic to recognize, with the emphasis being on strong lines, geometric shapes, and bold materials which in turn creates a style that stands out especially when located next to other eras of art and architecture. The movement was quick to adopt new technologies, meaning materials were not always the most traditional and thus at time a bit controversial. Art deco was used as inspiration for architecture, art, and design around the world, some elements of which are also visible in art deco wall murals. Even something simple like "Too Much to Dream" can evoke genuine feelings of surprise and stir up emotions, such is the power of these art deco wall murals. If you are going for something more bold and typical, "Peacock Deco" could be the right item for you. This art deco wall mural will definitely upgrade the look of your chosen space, while also making it appeal larger and deeper.

Needing art deco wall murals

Just like this style of art which grew out of a desire to get rid of the past and embrace the future in all its man-made, machine-driven glory, you can make a tremendous change with art deco wall murals. Some say that it is a remnant of a Gatsbyish hedonism which descended on prosperous post-war America. There were new technologies which made cars, radios and refrigerators accessible to the average citizen and consumer tastes for ornamentation and luxuries skyrocketed. This heady sense of advancement is also reflected in art deco wall murals. Take for instance the motif named "Miami Deco 2", which displays the lavish and wonderful aesthetic of those years.
