Art deco is back — how do I add it to a rental without a Gatsby theme party?
priyaq asked
Apparently 'art deco' is at a 10-year high in search interest and my feed agrees. I rent, so no wallpaper or major changes. What are 2-3 small art deco touches that actually read as art deco and not just... old? I've seen sunburst mirrors and geometric lamps suggested. Budget is maybe $150 total. What gives the most deco-per-dollar?

- Sunburst mirror
Sunburst mirror. One big one, that's the whole trick. Art deco is symmetry + geometry, and a sunburst mirror delivers both in one object. Checkable: search any 'art deco living room' roundup — the mirror shows up in like 80% of them. Get it secondhand; brass doesn't age badly. Don't buy the whole 'deco collection' sets, they look like a hotel lobby.
