Art Deco Bathroom Wall Sconces

Art deco bathroom wall sconces are a simple way to bring beauty and art to a small space. Small art deco sconces can pack a big punch in a bathroom.

The art deco design movement started in the mid 1920s. It is reflective of the Roaring Twenties and is a purely decorative art form. . Perhaps it is best characterized by the Russian artist Erte who had a contract with Harpers Bazaar for many years and drew beautiful images for the magazine's cover.

The art deco look is a mix of elegance and modernism. Art Deco blends Far Eastern design with Greek, Roman and Egyptian themes. It mixes Neoclassical, Cubism, Modernism, Art Nouveau and Bauhaus. Common elements in Art Deco include sunbursts, flowers and geometric patterns. Common materials used in Art Deco design are aluminum, stainless steel, lacquer and inlaid wood.

Since art deco items have such a unique look, they add a lot of visual interest and drama to a room. In a small bathroom, art deco wall sconces can serve as the room's focal point. Just keep the other visual elements in a room simple and the sconces will stand out.

In a larger bathroom, art deco sconces can serve as the inspiration for an entire deco inspired room. Add a gorgeous beveled mirror, lots of glass and polished chrome, some geometric shaped soap dishes and cups, a dramatic paint color on the wall –perhaps a dark blue--and of course, a black and white tiled floor.

The art deco look has realized an increase in popularity which is bad news and good news. The bad news is that it is harder, but not impossible, to find art deco sconces on sites such as eBay and Craigslist.

The good news is that more and more lighting companies have added deco designs. The following sites sell art deco inspired lighting.
