Dream Home: Art Nouveau & Art Deco - Master Bedroom

I was initially going to make all of my inspiration boards for my dream home in Art Deco but then I absolutely fell in love with this Art Nouveau bed. This was actually the second inspiration board I made using my favourite pieces but it would seem anti-climatic to show anything after it.

The bed was a complete pain to cut out. I am not happy with the result but there came a point where I had to walk away before it drove me crazy. If anything, this project has helped sharpen my rust Photoshop skills.

Dream Home: Art Nouveau & Art Deco - Family Room

I had the hardest time with the family room since I couldn't find any Art Deco cabinets that would suitable for entertainment units. I broadened my search to include Art Nouveau and then I found one I loved. The Art Nouveau period came right before Art Deco so pieces still go together quite well. The white cabinet is early French Art Deco which was sort of a transition period between the curves of Art Nouveau and the more angular geometry of Art Deco. I think it ties the two styles together nicely.
My real inspiration for the room was the painting The Starry Night. I choose pieces that mimic the swirls and colour palate. The couch originally a wretched olive green but that is the only piece that I changed.

Feedback is appreciated!

Side note: My dad is such an engineer. He doesn't understand how I could be planning what furniture to put in without making a floor plan of the house first.

Full disclosure:
  • The fairy poster is Art Nouveau
  • I changed the colouring in several of the pieces so they match better
but it is my dream home so I can do what I want.
