It's no secret that Art Deco is back in a big way in 2025. Though some might argue that it never really left, 100 years since its inception, we are seeing more of the luxe aesthetic around than ever.
Look no further than Tracee Ellis Ross' hallway for proof. We have been noticing that the black-ish documents her outfits on Instagram through a very stylish and sophisticated mirror, and while the clothing is beautiful, it's the mirror we have our sights set on.
The black and ivory pattern of the mirror's frame is modern and retro all at once, serving as the perfect accent against her minimalist, wooden stairs. It's just one Art Deco decor idea that we can get behind for a hallway.

Decadent lighting is a classic Art Deco motif. You'll typically see lots of gold mixed with geometric shapes, like this crystal sconce that would look beautiful in a pair positioned on either side of a mirror.
To truly embrace the Art Deco look you'll want to incorporate some kind of bold lines. A rug is an easy yet effective way of bringing patterns into a space, so place this black and white wool carpet at the heart of your living room to bring a touch of drama and sophistication.
According to experts, one of the best ways to incorporate Art Deco decor into your hallway (or elsewhere) is looking at materials.
'Art Deco brings instant character to a space,' explains Ariel Darmoni, general manager at 123 Remodeling.
'It’s defined by bold geometry, symmetry, and rich materials. When I’m going for this look, I usually incorporate patterns like sunbursts, chevrons, and stepped designs. These can appear in wallpaper, tile, or even upholstery. Materials matter too. Polished brass, chrome, lacquered wood, and velvet are all staples of the Art Deco style. I love using velvet in deep jewel tones for furniture or accents because it brings warmth and sophistication.'
In a hallway, this could mean the inclusion of a velvet accent chair or a chrome lamp. However, Ariel says that less is more when it comes to Art Deco, and to resist the temptation to overdecorate. As Tracee proves, a statement mirror is more than enough to do the trick.
'You don’t need to go overboard,' he says. 'A sculptural light fixture, a bold mirror, or one piece of statement furniture can go a long way. The goal is to create a space that feels layered, elegant, and a little bit dramatic without feeling overdone.'
