Bibliography
Art Deco architecture was first and foremost considered to be decorative - ornamental and beautifying. Buildings, hotels, cinemas, railway stations, etc. were all embellished with quintessential Deco patterns like zigzags, sunbursts, Egyptian motifs and similar geometric patterns all in the name of beauty.

Art Nouveau to Art Deco
Art neauvou lamp Art deco lamp
Art Deco followed in Art Nouveau's footsteps in that it also paid homage to beauty, but it was a more 'modern' interpretation. The Machine Age was well underway at this time and function became an important requirement again. The rounded, scroll, naturalistic motifs of Nouveau were replaced with geometric, angular and streamlined motifs like zigzags and chevrons (notice the difference in designs in the two lamp pictures above). Function was important, but not at the expense of beauty and decoration.

Characteristics of Flapper Fashion:

Masculine forms - "bustless, hipless, boyish shapes" (Mendes, 2003)
Streamlined
Short hemlines (mid calf to just a smidgeon above the knee)
Tubular silhouette
The Cloche (domed or bell-shaped) hat
The classic, beaded, fringed 'Charleston' dress
Rolled down stockings
Women started wearing their hair and skirts short, got their drivers licences (so that they no longer had to rely on a man to take them shopping or visit their friends!)
They started smoking, drinking, kissing and petting (oh my!) in public, wearing heavy makeup and dancing the Charleston at the hottest jazz clubs of the day
Art Deco Glamour

Common
Art Deco Jewelry Stones
The booming economy of the 1920's allowed for the use of very expensive stones.
Diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires were the obvious choice due to their bold, bright colouring (bright colours were a huge trend during the Deco days).
Art Deco Jewelry Metals
In keeping with the luxury stones, the most common metals used were Gold (yellow and white) and Platinum.

Bold & Bright
The economy was booming in during the Roaring 20s and lively, energetic colors began to symbolize the prosperity of the times. Hues like canary yellow, emerald green, peacock blue, royal purple and brilliant red became all the rage.
Popular Art Deco Style Color Schemes
Metallics
Silver, Gold, Metallic Blues and Charcoal Greys also represented the wealth and prosperity of the times. Metallic finishes instantly add glitz, glamour and imply luxury and wealth. This is the epitome of Art Deco style.
Neutrals
Art Deco was all about a streamlined, modern look and a neutral, monochromatic color scheme easily achieved this feel. Cremes, beiges, taupes and medium browns became popular choices for interiors and fashions.
Black & White
This is probably the most popular colour scheme during the 1920s and 1930s. Black and white checkerboard tiles, floors and wallpapers were very trendy. Also, fashions became ultra sophisticated and streamlined . The classic Chanel black and white ensemble was the ultimate in chic sophistication.
