Harlem Deco — Living Room Design & Mood Board
In designing this living room, we wanted to capture the bold style of Harlem Deco by blending the opulence of the 1920s with modern comfort. We started with a vintage rug and paired it with a low-profile oxblood sofa and velvet curtains—creating a rich and inviting atmosphere. We selected a marble coffee table and side table—adding elegance—while checkered footstools and a lacquered floor lamp bring in a touch of vintage charm. A pendant light and frosted glass candle holders add a soft, warm glow to the room. The patterned accent chair adds a pop of texture, and the gramophone brings a nostalgic, music-inspired touch. To complete the look, we included artwork that celebrates Harlem's cultural history, bringing authenticity by connecting the space to its roots and keeping it vibrant.
