You know that feeling when you finally find the Art Deco look that feels just right for your space? It’s that perfect blend of glamour, geometry, and unapologetic style. But sorting through endless inspiration to find something that actually works in a real home can be exhausting. That’s why we’ve done the hard work for you.
We spent hours filtering through hundreds of designs to bring you 25 of the most stunning Art Deco ideas that deliver on drama and sophistication. We’re covering everything from glamorous living rooms and bold bathrooms to elegant bedrooms. These concepts are a direct response to the post-minimalist desire for personality and richness that’s defining home design in 2026. This isn’t about sterile showrooms; it’s about creating a home with a story. And stay until the end—we break down the most common mistakes that can ruin these looks. 📌 Save this to Pinterest for later—you’ll want to revisit these ideas.
1. A Luxurious Green Velvet Sofa with Black Marble and Gold
This look feels so cohesive because it masters the art of high-contrast materials. The softness of the dark green channel-tufted velvet sofa is a perfect counterpoint to the hard, polished surfaces of the black marble coffee table and fluted wall sconces. The gold acts as a visual thread, tying everything together—from the delicate wall molding to the dramatic veins in the marble and the base of the coffee table. It’s a masterclass in balancing texture and sheen.

The repetition of the fan motif, seen subtly in the artwork, is a classic Art Deco move. It creates rhythm and a sense of intentionality without feeling overwhelming. This isn’t just a collection of nice things; it’s a carefully orchestrated design where each piece speaks to the others.
When mixing metals and marbles, stick to a strict two-color rule for your main elements. In this room, it’s black and gold. This creates a strong, intentional foundation. If you introduce a third finish, like silver or chrome, do it in very small doses—think a single picture frame or a small decorative object. This prevents the space from looking chaotic and keeps the focus on the primary palette. For the gold, try to keep the finish consistent; a mix of brushed, polished, and antiqued gold can clash if not done expertly.
2. Emerald Green Room with Bold Fuchsia and Gold Accents
This room’s fearless formula is what makes it sing. Think of it as a 60% deep jewel tone (the emerald green walls and sofa). + 20% bold graphic patterns (the checkerboard floor and chevron rug) + 10% high-shine metallic (the gold Sputnik chandelier and chair) + 10% shocking accent color (that fabulous fuchsia). By keeping the main color dominant, the other elements can be incredibly bold without creating total chaos. You could swap the emerald for navy or burgundy and the fuchsia for electric orange, and the formula would still hold.

This is not a look for the faint of heart, and it requires a certain kind of space to pull off. A room with this much pattern and such a deep wall color needs excellent natural light or a very strategic lighting plan to avoid feeling like a cave. The checkerboard floor is a major commitment, and while stunning, it can make future redecorating challenging. Also, a gold sputnik chandelier can be a dust magnet, so be prepared for regular cleaning to keep it sparkling. This is a high-style, high-maintenance look.
3. A Glamorous Emerald Sofa Flanked by Sunburst Mirrors
- Main Furniture: Emerald velvet sofa, black coffee table: $3,500 – $7,000
- Lighting: Gold Sputnik chandelier, table lamps: $1,200 – $3,000
- Textiles: Black and white geometric rug: $500 – $1,500
- Decor/Accessories: Sunburst mirrors, accent pillows: $400 – $900
- Wall Treatment: Wall paneling & paint: $800 – $2,500
- TOTAL: $6,400 – $14,900

Budget alternative: Find a similar velvet sofa on Wayfair or Overstock ($1,200), source a geometric rug from IKEA ($250), and find lookalike sunburst mirrors and a chandelier on Amazon ($400 total). Total cost: around $3,500.
That absolutely makes this room the symmetry. Take away the matching sunburst mirrors or the identical black table lamps, and the entire composition loses its power. The paneled wall creates a formal grid, and the furniture arrangement reinforces it. The emerald sofa is the star, yes, but it’s the strict, mirrored placement of the elements flanking it that gives the room its glamorous, hotel-lobby gravitas. Without that symmetry, it would just be a living room with a green couch; with it, it’s a statement.
4. A Gold Fan-Patterned Console with Cream Bouclé Chairs
This look is pure dopamine decor, and it’s trending for a reason. After years of minimalist neutrals, people are craving personality, texture, and a touch of opulence. The combination of bouclé fabric, fan-patterned gold, and sunburst motifs hits all the right notes for the Luxe Revival happening on Pinterest. It feels glamorous without being stuffy. This is less about recreating a 1920s period room and more about cherry-picking the most joyful and iconic Art Deco elements and mixing them with contemporary comforts like the soft armchairs.

When styling a console table or sideboard, think in triangles. Your tallest item (here, the vase with branches) should create the peak of your main triangle. Then, create smaller visual triangles with objects of varying heights on either side. Notice how the leopard sculpture, books, and smaller vase form their own groupings. This method prevents the surface from looking flat and cluttered. Always leave about 20% of the surface empty to give your curated objects room to breathe. It feels more intentional and less like a storage shelf.
5. Sage Green and Gold Paneled Room with Burgundy Sofas
A design this grand and ornate demands volume. This look works best in rooms with high ceilings—at least 10 feet, but 12 feet or more is ideal to accommodate the scale of the chandelier and the verticality of the wall paneling. The minimum room size should be around 250 square feet to prevent the two large sofas and central fireplace from feeling cramped. The formal, conversational layout with facing sofas works beautifully in a rectangular room, creating a natural focal point. Compare this to the more intimate setup in Idea #1, which could work in a smaller space.

Living with this much luxury requires upkeep. The burgundy velvet sofas will need regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment to keep them looking plush and dust-free. Any spills must be blotted immediately. The ornate gold paneling and chandelier are beautiful but are essentially intricate dust-catchers; expect to do a careful dusting every two weeks. The bronze coffee table and black marble fireplace will show fingerprints and smudges easily, so a daily wipe-down with a microfiber cloth will be necessary to maintain that pristine, polished look.
6. Teal and Lavender Tiled Bathroom with Arched Alcoves
Let’s be honest: this is a major commitment. Tiling an entire bathroom, especially with a contrasting grout color, is expensive and very permanent. The unique color palette of teal and lavender is stunning, but it’s also highly specific. If you decide you’re tired of it in five years, you’re looking at a full demolition and remodel. Also, while the lavender toilet and tub are a fun retro statement, finding replacement parts for colored fixtures can be a real challenge down the line. This is a dream bathroom for someone who is absolutely certain about their love for this quirky palette.

It’s the lavender grout. Without it, this would just be a bathroom with teal tile. But the unexpected pop of lavender in the grout lines is what elevates the entire design from simple to statement. It’s a small detail that fundamentally changes the entire look, turning a functional element (grout) into a primary design feature. It highlights the grid of the tiles, emphasizes the curves of the arches, and proves that you don’t always need a big gesture to make a huge impact. It’s clever, confident, and unforgettable.
7. Geometric Gold and Grey Fan Wallpaper in a Bathroom
How to Install a Floating Vanity Shelf:
|
📋 Copy HEX 🔗 Share |
- Locate Studs: Use a stud finder to mark the locations of the wall studs where you plan to hang the shelf. This is non-negotiable for a heavy-duty shelf that will hold sinks.
- Install Brackets: Secure heavy-duty floating shelf brackets directly into the studs using lag bolts. Ensure they are perfectly level with each other. For a long shelf like this, you’ll need at least three brackets.
- Prepare the Shelf: Drill corresponding holes into the back edge of your wooden shelf for the bracket rods to slide into. Make sure the holes are slightly larger than the rods for a snug but manageable fit.
- Mount and Secure: Slide the shelf onto the brackets. Depending on the bracket system, there may be set screws on the underside to tighten, securing the shelf in place.
- Seal the Wood: Apply multiple coats of a marine-grade polyurethane to protect the wood from water damage.
Time: 3-4 hours. Cost: $150-$300 for brackets and a solid wood slab.
You can get this high-drama look for much less. Instead of expensive wallpaper, look for a peel-and-stick version on Etsy or Amazon for around $100-$200 for a small bathroom. For the mirrors, skip the designer stores and check out Target’s Studio McGee or Threshold lines, which often have similar gold-framed circular mirrors for under $80 each. The floating wood shelf can be a DIY project using a sanded and sealed piece of butcher block from Home Depot for about $150. This brings the look into a much more accessible price range.
8. Monochromatic Art Deco Bathroom with Geometric Tiles
This bathroom succeeds because of its disciplined use of pattern and line. The design layers three different scales of pattern: the small hexagonal tiles on the floor, the medium subway tiles on the walls, and the bold, graphic black tile borders. This variation keeps the eye moving and adds depth to a simple two-color palette. Furthermore, the strong vertical and horizontal lines of the tile borders, vanity, and even the sconces create a sense of structure and order that is central to the Art Deco aesthetic. It’s a space that feels both dynamic and controlled. Compare the vibe here to the more colorful tile work in Idea #6.
|
📋 Copy HEX 🔗 Share |
The visual formula here is a study in restraint: 50% classic white (subway tiles, fixtures) + 40% bold black (floor tiles, borders, vanity) + 10% polished chrome. The magic is in the application. The black isn’t a solid block; it’s used to create patterns and outlines, which makes the space feel graphic rather than heavy. If you wanted to soften this look, you could swap the chrome for brass or polished nickel, but the core black-and-white ratio is what gives it that timeless Deco punch.
9. Grand Entryway with a Sweeping Marble Staircase
The celestial ceiling. While the sweeping marble staircase and crystal chandelier are undeniably opulent, it’s the deep blue ceiling painted with clouds that truly transports you. It’s an unexpected and fantastical element that lifts the entire space from merely luxurious to outright magical. It draws the eye upward, accentuating the room’s grand volume and creating a sense of infinite space. If the ceiling were plain white, the entryway would still be beautiful, but it would lose that specific, breathtaking sense of wonder and drama.
|
📋 Copy HEX 🔗 Share |
This is a look that is almost entirely dependent on architectural scale. You need a two-story (or higher) entryway with a minimum footprint of 300-400 square feet to even attempt this. The ceiling height needs to be at least 18-20 feet to accommodate the massive droplet chandelier and to give the sweeping staircase room to feel graceful rather than cramped. This is not a concept you can scale down; its entire impact relies on its unapologetic, over-the-top grandeur. Anything less would feel like a parody.
10. Glamorous Living Room with a Curved Cream Sofa
Curved sofas, or conversation sofas, are making a huge comeback. Why now? They feel softer and more organic than the boxy sectionals that dominated the last decade. In an age of digital disconnection, furniture that encourages face-to-face interaction feels fresh and necessary. This design pairs that contemporary trend with classic Art Deco glamour—the gold trim, geometric patterns, and rich materials. It’s a perfect fusion of 2020s comfort and 1920s opulence, creating a space that’s both impressive and genuinely inviting.

📋 Copy HEX 🔗 Share |
When you have a statement floor, like this incredible geometric marble, you need to let it be the star. Choose furniture with legs, like the curved sofa with its gold base and the open-frame coffee table. This leggy furniture allows the eye to see the full expanse of the flooring pattern underneath, making the room feel larger and more cohesive. A heavy, solid-base sofa or table would chop up the design and hide the most expensive and impactful feature in the room.
11. Sleek Dining Area with Veined Marble and Dark Wood
This space is a beautiful example of balancing heavy and light elements. The large-veined marble wall and dark wood cabinetry could easily feel overwhelming, but they are expertly balanced by the glossy white upper cabinets and the delicate, airy glass chandeliers. The oval dining table and upholstered chairs introduce soft curves that contrast with the hard, straight lines of the kitchen, creating a more inviting and dynamic composition. The result is a space that feels both substantial and sophisticated, not bulky.

A space this sleek requires diligent cleaning. The glossy white cabinets and marble surfaces will show every fingerprint, splash, and smudge, so daily wipe-downs are a must. Dark wood floors and cabinetry, while beautiful, are notorious for showing dust, so expect to dust or vacuum frequently. The textured grey upholstery on the chairs is more forgiving with minor stains but should be professionally cleaned annually to keep it looking fresh. This is a high-end look with a correspondingly high-maintenance cleaning schedule.
12. Elegant Dining Room with an Oval Crystal Chandelier
- Main Furniture: Glass dining table, 6 cream chairs, sideboard: $6,000 – $15,000
- Lighting: Oval crystal chandelier, gold wall sconces: $2,500 – $8,000
- Textiles: Patterned area rug: $800 – $2,500
- Decor/Accessories: Abstract art, decorative objects: $1,000 – $4,000
- Wall Treatment: Wall paneling & paint: $1,000 – $3,000
- TOTAL: $11,300 – $32,500

Budget alternative: Source a glass-top table from CB2 or Article ($1,000), find similar cream chairs on Overstock ($1,200 for 6), and get a crystal-look chandelier from a lighting outlet ($700). Total cost: around $4,500.
That beautiful oval crystal chandelier is a showstopper, but cleaning it is a serious chore. Each individual crystal will need to be carefully cleaned to maintain its sparkle, a process that can take hours and usually requires a ladder and a lot of patience. If you have high ceilings, you might even need to hire a professional service to clean it annually. Also, faux leather chairs can be prone to cracking or peeling over time, especially in very dry or sunny environments. They’re easier to clean than fabric, but their longevity can be an issue.
13. Sage Green Living Room with Gold Velvet Curtains
This room’s formula is all about rich, layered color and pattern. It breaks down to roughly 40% dominant color (the sage green walls), 30% contrasting texture (the gold velvet curtains and sofa), 20% grounding neutrals (the brown and cream rug), and 10% dark structural elements (the wood room divider and tables). This balance of a muted wall color with a bold, luxurious textile like velvet is key. It allows the curtains to be a major statement without overwhelming the space. The geometric patterns on the walls and rug add another layer of classic Deco interest. For a similar but more subdued vibe, see the sage green in Idea #21.

To make a standard room feel taller and more grand, hang your curtain rods as high and wide as possible. Aim for at least 4-6 inches above the window frame and extend the rod 8-12 inches on either side. This tricks the eye into seeing a larger window. Make sure the curtains just kiss the floor or puddle slightly. Curtains that are too short, often called high-waters, will visually shrink your room. This simple trick is one of the most effective ways to add drama and elegance to a space.
14. Cinematic Living Room with Polished Wood and Velvet
The polished dark wood furniture is the undeniable soul of this room. While the velvet sofa and monochrome art are classic Deco elements, it’s the sculptural, curved forms of the armchairs and tables, gleaming with a high-gloss finish, that give the space its authentic, cinematic glamour. This isn’t just wood; it’s wood treated as a luxury material, shaped and polished to perfection. Without it, the room would be handsome, but it would lack that specific, old-Hollywood richness that makes it so captivating.

This room masterfully plays with scale and contrast. The oversized black and white portraits create a dramatic, gallery-like focal point and their lack of color provides a sophisticated counterpoint to the rich blue of the rug and the warmth of the wood. The large, steel-framed windows provide a strong geometric grid that balances the soft curves of the furniture. And the lush green of the potted palms adds a necessary touch of organic life, preventing the polished space from feeling too sterile or museum-like.
15. A Regal Black and Gold Dining Room with Scenic Wallpaper
That show-stopping scenic wallpaper can cost thousands. To get a similar effect on a budget, search for a large-scale landscape tapestry or a wall mural print on sites like Society6 or Wayfair for $200-$400. You can then frame it yourself with simple wood trim from a hardware store for about $50. For the furniture, Facebook Marketplace is your best friend. Look for vintage dining sets and sideboards that you can paint a high-gloss black and add new gold hardware to. A can of gold spray paint can transform old chairs into gilded beauties.

A room this formal and dark can be challenging for everyday life. High-gloss black furniture shows every speck of dust, fingerprint, and tiny scratch. It requires constant upkeep to look its best. The dramatic, low lighting from the chandelier is perfect for an elegant dinner party, but it might not be practical for family meals or doing homework at the table. This is more of a special-occasion space than a workhorse dining room, and it’s best suited for a home that has a separate, more casual eating area.
16. Warm Wood Paneling with a Deep Plum Velvet Sofa
This room’s cozy sophistication comes from a carefully balanced formula: 70% warm, mid-tone wood (paneling and floors) + 20% deep, saturated color (the plum sofa) + 10% crisp white (the sectional and pillows). The dominance of the reddish-brown wood creates a warm, enveloping atmosphere. The plum velvet adds a touch of luxury and unexpected color, while the white provides a necessary visual break, keeping the space from feeling too dark or heavy. The key is the tonal harmony between the reddish-brown wood and the reddish undertones in the plum.

When working with wood-paneled walls, modernizing the space is all about contrast. Avoid pairing the wood with more traditional, heavy furniture. Instead, opt for pieces with clean lines and in contrasting colors and textures, like the plush plum velvet and the crisp white sectional seen here. Modern art and sleek, rectangular sconces also help to update the look and prevent it from feeling like a dated 1970s den. The goal is to celebrate the wood, not compete with it.
17. Modern Minimalist Living Room with Curvilinear Sofa
This space feels so serene because it adheres to a very strict and simple material palette. The design relies almost entirely on light beige upholstery, natural wood tones, and clear glass, with the dark wood floor providing a grounding element. This restraint in materials allows the focus to be on form—specifically, the gentle curves of the sofa and armchair. By eliminating visual clutter, the sculptural shapes of the furniture and the impact of the single large art piece are amplified. It’s a testament to the power of less is more.

It’s the pop art. Without that large, graphic painting of female faces, this would be a pleasant, but perhaps forgettable, minimalist room. The artwork injects personality, color (with those bold red lips), and a crucial point of tension. It’s an unexpected and playful choice that contrasts sharply with the serene, neutral backdrop. It gives the room a voice and an identity, proving that even in a minimalist space, one bold, well-chosen piece can make all the difference.
18. Classic Bathroom with Hexagonal Tile and a Clawfoot Tub
- Check your subfloor: A cast iron clawfoot tub is incredibly heavy, especially when filled with water. Ensure your floor joists are strong enough to support the weight. You may need to add reinforcement.
- Measure plumbing locations: The plumbing for a freestanding tub (especially the drain) is different from a standard built-in tub. Confirm you can run the necessary lines to your desired location before you buy the tub.
- Test your paint color: That warm yellow is beautiful, but yellows can be tricky. Paint a large swatch on the wall and observe it at different times of day to make sure you love how it looks with both natural and artificial light.

That classic black and white hexagonal tile is timeless, but keeping the white grout clean can be a battle, especially in high-traffic areas. Regular sealing (at least once a year) is essential to prevent staining. The marble vanity top is another classic material that requires care. It’s porous and can be easily stained by things like makeup, hair dye, or certain cleaners. Always use a pH-neutral stone cleaner and wipe up spills immediately. Coasters or trays for toiletries are your best friend here.
19. Geometric Black and White Living Room with Gold Details
This is Art Deco glamour translated for a modern audience. The formula is simple but effective: 50% Black + 40% White/Cream + 10% Gold. The key is how these elements are deployed. The black and white aren’t just solid blocks; they’re used in bold, graphic, geometric patterns on the console and coffee table. The gold isn’t overwhelming; it’s used as jewelry for the room in the lighting, mirror frame, and hardware. The large cream rug and drapery soften the look and prevent the high contrast from feeling too stark. This is a much more graphic take than the textural approach in Idea #1.

You don’t need a designer budget to get this chic, graphic look. Start with a simple black sofa from IKEA’s KIVIK series (around $800). Find a plain, round coffee table and a simple console from a thrift store or Target, and DIY the geometric patterns with black and white paint and some painter’s tape. A large cream-colored rug from Rugs USA can be found for under $300. For the gold accents, hit up HomeGoods or Amazon for a sputnik-style chandelier and a gold-framed mirror, which can often be found for under $150 each.
20. Luxurious Lounge with Wood Paneling and Velvet Booths
This space nails the eclectic luxury vibe by expertly mixing disparate styles. The dark wood paneling and green velvet booths feel like a classic, moody speakeasy. The dramatic, veined marble slab is pure high-end glamour. The graffiti art wall adds a layer of edgy, urban cool. And the mustard yellow sofa provides a vibrant, contemporary color pop. It works because there’s a common thread of opulence and confidence running through every choice. Each element is a statement, and they come together to create a space that feels curated, personal, and exciting.

This look taps right into the Dark Academia and Moody Maximalism trends that are all over social media. It’s a rebellion against the all-white, minimalist interiors of the past. People are craving spaces with depth, character, and a bit of mystery. The combination of dark wood, rich velvet, and dramatic marble feels intellectual and sophisticated, while the pops of modern art and bright color keep it from feeling old-fashioned. It’s a space designed for intimate conversations and lingering over a cocktail, a mood many are looking to create at home.
21. Sage Green Cabinets with Brass Geometric Inlays
How to Create Brass Inlays on Cabinet Doors:
|
📋 Copy HEX 🔗 Share |
- Design Your Pattern: Sketch your geometric design directly onto the cabinet door with a pencil and a long ruler. Keep it simple for your first attempt!
- Cut the Grooves: Set a router with a small straight bit to a shallow depth (about 1/8 inch). Carefully follow your pencil lines to cut narrow grooves into the door’s surface.
- Cut the Brass Strips: Measure your routed lines and cut thin, flat brass strips (available at hobby stores or online) to size using a small metal saw or heavy-duty snips.
- Install the Inlays: Apply a thin bead of strong construction adhesive (like an epoxy) into the grooves. Carefully press the brass strips into the grooves until they are flush with the surface.
- Clean Up: Wipe away any excess adhesive immediately. Let it cure completely according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Time: 5-8 hours per door. Cost: $50-$100 in brass and adhesive.
- Check for Symmetry: This look relies on the balance of the two cabinets flanking the fireplace. Ensure you have a symmetrical wall to work with, otherwise the effect will be lost.
- Confirm Your Lighting: Brass inlays are all about catching the light. Make sure you have good ambient or accent lighting that will hit the cabinets and make the brass shine. In a dark room, the detail may disappear.
- Get a Paint Sample: Sage green can lean cool or warm. Get a sample and paint a large board. View it in your room’s light next to your floor and fireplace materials before committing to painting the entire wall and cabinets.
22. Neutral Dining Room with a Gallery Wall and Blue Velvet
The key to a successful gallery wall is to lay it out on the floor before you hammer a single nail. Arrange and rearrange your framed art pieces on the floor in front of the wall. This allows you to play with spacing and balance without creating a hundred holes in your wall. Aim for a consistent spacing of 2-3 inches between each frame. A good tip is to start with your largest piece in the center (or slightly off-center) and build the rest of the arrangement around it. Take a photo with your phone to reference as you hang.

This elegant, layered look works well in a dedicated dining room of at least 150-200 square feet. You need enough space to accommodate the long oval table and allow for at least 36 inches of clearance behind the chairs on all sides for comfortable movement. The ceiling should be at least 9 feet high to handle the scale of the large gold chandelier without it feeling like it’s crowding the table. The gallery wall also needs a substantial, uninterrupted wall space—at least 8-10 feet wide—to have the intended impact.
23. Modern Bedroom with a Tufted Headboard and Bronze Accents
A high-end tufted headboard and designer lighting can be pricey, but this serene look is easy to achieve for less. Look for upholstered headboards on sites like Wayfair, Amazon, or even Walmart—you can often find a similar light grey tufted style for under $300. The rustic white nightstands have a great found object feel; check Facebook Marketplace or thrift stores for small dressers or side tables you can paint white. The chic black and bronze pendant can be sourced from lighting stores on Etsy that offer stylish fixtures for a fraction of the designer price. The layered curtains are an easy IKEA hack! For a similar calm, modern look, see Idea #17.

While beautiful, a fabric headboard—especially a light grey one—can be prone to absorbing oils from hair and skin, potentially leading to discoloration over time. It will require occasional cleaning with an upholstery cleaner to keep it looking fresh. The tufts are also notorious for collecting dust. Also, that circular pendant light provides great ambient light, but it’s not ideal for reading in bed. You’ll definitely want to keep a task lamp with a directional shade, like the one on the nightstand, for any late-night reading.
24. Marble and Gold Bathroom with Hexagonal Floor Tiles
This bathroom design feels so luxurious because it perfectly balances classic materials with modern shapes. The large-format marble wall tiles provide a timeless, elegant backdrop. Against this, the sharp geometric shapes of the hexagonal floor tiles, the soft curves of the oval mirrors, and the spiky, sculptural form of the wall sconce create a dynamic visual conversation. The consistent use of gold for all the metal finishes—hardware, mirrors, lighting—acts as a unifying element, tying all the different shapes together into a cohesive and glamorous whole.

Marble is stunning, but it’s a high-maintenance choice for a bathroom. It’s a soft, porous stone that can be easily etched by acidic products (like some cleaners or even lemon juice) and stained by cosmetics or hair dye. It needs to be sealed annually to protect it. The dark floor tiles, while great for hiding dirt, might show water spots or soap residue more readily than lighter tiles, requiring frequent cleaning. Similarly, polished gold fixtures look beautiful but will show every fingerprint and water spot.
25. Modern White and Red Dining Area with Gold Trim
- Main Furniture: White dining table, 6 dining chairs, grey sofa: $4,000 – $9,000
- Lighting: Two modern chandeliers: $800 – $2,500
- Decor/Accessories: Circular wall art, red velvet cushions: $300 – $800
- Wall Treatment: Gold vertical trim panels & paint: $500 – $1,500
- Flooring: Marble-patterned tile: $2,000 – $5,000 (for a 200 sq ft area)
- TOTAL: $7,600 – $18,800

Budget alternative: Get a white tulip table from an online retailer ($700), find red and grey velvet chairs on Amazon ($900 for 6), and create the wall trim with inexpensive pine lattice strips painted gold ($100). Total cost: around $3,000.
How to Create Faux Gold Wall Paneling:
- Plan Your Layout: Decide on the spacing for your vertical trim. Use a level and pencil to draw light guidelines on the wall. A spacing of 16-24 inches usually works well.
- Measure and Cut Trim: Measure the height of your wall and cut thin, lightweight MDF or wood trim pieces to size with a miter saw for clean cuts.
- Paint the Trim: Lay the trim pieces on a drop cloth and apply two coats of a high-quality metallic gold spray paint. Let them dry completely.
- Attach to the Wall: Apply a bead of construction adhesive to the back of each gold trim piece and press it firmly onto the wall, following your pencil lines. Use a level to ensure each piece is perfectly vertical.
Time: 4-6 hours. Cost: $100-$200.
