Replacement Bedroom Doors: Achieving Art Deco

Synonymous with glitz and glamour, Art Deco design celebrates elegant furniture, geometric patterns, sunburst motifs, and eye-catching colours that bring a touch of drama to a space.

So, if you’re looking for ways to infuse your bedroom with timeless features that were first popular a century ago in the roaring twenties, here are some tips that we hope will inspire your creativity.

7 Great Replacement Bedroom Doors Tips

1. Choose geometric patterns while replacement bedroom doors

Geometric patterns featuring bold lines and shapes, including triangles and diamonds, are a staple of Art Deco design and can be found on everything from artwork to architecture, textiles and wallpaper.

There are many ways to incorporate patterns into your Art Deco bedroom, including hanging a statement feature wallpaper, framing a selection of wallpaper samples, or by introducing patterned linens and soft furnishings into your space.

2.Be bold with colourful replacement wardrobe doors 

Bold colours are often used in Art Deco designs to bring a sense of opulence to a space, particularly rich jewel tones including deep blues, reds, greens and yellows.

Painting your walls a beautiful ruby or emerald green is an option, but you could also choose to keep your walls a light, neutral colour and instead introduce colour in other ways, including through textiles and furniture.

Pro Tip: Choosing replacement bedroom doors in a rich tone is a simple way to incorporate more colour into your bedroom. As well as offering some subtle geometric detailing, the Bella Richmond collection is available in a number of striking colours, including indigo blue and fir green.

3. Introduce metallic accents to your bedroom

Whether you prefer chrome, brass, silver or gold, metallic accents in any colour can introduce a touch of luxury to a space. As well as drawer and door handles, it’s possible to incorporate metallic accents in a variety of other ways, including through photo frames, plug socket covers, light switches, and table lamps.

Pro Tip: While it’s possible to mix different coloured metals, it’s often more effective to keep the tone consistent across your metallic accents for a cohesive look. 

4. Lean into the ultra-glam aesthetic 

From mirrored furniture to plush fabrics such as velvet, leather and silk, it’s possible to be as understated or as glamorous as you want when designing your Art Deco bedroom.

The ultimate goal here is to create a space that celebrates comfort and becomes a place you want to retreat to at the end of a long and busy day.

5. Install angular mirrors 

If mirrored furniture isn’t your style, hanging a single statement mirror with angular features is an ideal alternative, as it will bounce light around the room without becoming a dominating feature. 

6. Choose antique or vintage inspired lighting 

Art Deco lighting fixtures typically feature geometric shapes and have a metallic finish, both of which are key aspects of this design era. Many examples of pendants, wall lights and table lamps from this period can be found at auction houses across the UK, however, if you are buying antique pieces it’s vital to take them to a qualified electrician to ensure they’re safe to use.

Alternatively, there are also many examples of vintage inspired lighting solutions available from many retailers, allowing you to achieve your ideal look and helping you to create a relaxing and restful ambiance. 

7. Hang statement artwork 

Large framed prints or original artworks make a striking addition to Art Deco inspired spaces, particularly when they feature geometric patterns or motifs that are inspired by nature.

A large print featuring leaves, birds or flowers can also be an excellent way to incorporate colour into your bedroom in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming or too visually stimulating.
