Reviving an Art Deco kitchen: Inside Our Stunning Green Kitchen Design with a Modern Twist
When it comes to kitchen design, few styles are as iconic and timeless as Art Deco. In our latest project, we had the pleasure of blending this classic aesthetic with modern functionality to create a kitchen that’s as stylish as it is practical.
With fresh green cabinetry, sleek white counters, curves that nod to the glamour of the 1920s, and intricate patterns in the booth seating, this kitchen is a stunning showcase of old-world charm meeting contemporary flair. Plus, with a hidden scullery for all the mess, it’s the perfect combination of beauty and functionality.
Let’s take a closer look at each element that brings this space to life.
1. Green Cabinetry for a Bold, Fresh Look
The bold green cabinetry gives this Art Deco kitchen a fresh, unexpected twist that’s both elegant and modern.

Green has made a huge comeback in kitchens, and for good reason—it’s a color that feels both refreshing and timeless.
In this Art Deco-inspired space, we opted for a rich yet calming green that brings life and sophistication to the cabinetry.
The colour pairs beautifully with the white counters and oak accents, creating a visual flow that feels both grounded and invigorating.
The sleek cabinetry lines, combined with this vibrant hue, nod to Art Deco’s love for bold choices while staying true to today’s desire for light and airy spaces.
This green not only adds depth but also acts as a statement feature, making the kitchen feel like a true centerpiece of the home.
2. Crisp White Counters for a Sleek Contrast
White counters add a fresh, clean contrast to the bold cabinetry and enhance the kitchen’s light-filled, airy atmosphere
-
To balance the rich green cabinetry, we chose crisp white countertops that bring a sense of lightness and elegance to the room.
The white surface offers a modern touch while allowing the cabinetry color to shine without overpowering the space.
This contrast is not only visually striking but also highly practical—white counters are timeless, easy to clean, and ideal for showcasing art deco-inspired decor.
These counters act as a canvas for meal prep, décor displays, and other kitchen activities, reinforcing the balance between form and function in this design.
We design functional, thoughtful,
and beautiful homes, fit for real life.

3. Curves That Nod to Art Deco Glamour
Gentle curves in the design add a touch of Art Deco elegance, softening the space and adding personality
-
Art Deco is known for its love of curves, and we embraced this aesthetic by incorporating them into various elements of the kitchen.
From rounded cabinet corners to the curved booth seating, these shapes bring softness and a sense of nostalgia to the space.
Curved elements help balance the boldness of the cabinetry and add a more playful, approachable feel.
These shapes also serve a practical purpose, enhancing flow and creating a more inviting space for family and guests.
The result is a kitchen that feels both glamorous and welcoming, capturing the essence of Art Deco in a way that suits modern-day living.
4. Patterned Booth Seating for a Playful Touch
Patterned booth seating adds charm and character, creating a cozy nook with a lively Art Deco flair.
-
The booth seating in this kitchen is truly a standout feature.
We chose a geometric, Art Deco-inspired pattern for the upholstery, which adds a splash of personality to the space.
The patterns serve as a playful contrast to the sleek cabinetry and counters, drawing the eye and creating a cozy, inviting nook.
This booth is perfect for quick family meals, coffee breaks, or even just enjoying a moment in the kitchen without being directly in the cooking zone.
The patterned seating not only emphasizes the Art Deco vibe but also brings warmth and charm, turning this space into a true heart of the home.
5. Herringbone Flooring for Timeless Style
Herringbone flooring adds texture and sophistication, enhancing the Art Deco ambiance and providing a durable, stylish foundation.
-
For flooring, we chose a classic herringbone pattern in American oak—a choice that echoes the elegance of Art Deco design while offering timeless appeal.
The rich tones of American oak add warmth to the space, complementing the green cabinetry and balancing the crisp white counters.
Herringbone is both visually interesting and practical, providing a strong, durable foundation that will stand up to everyday wear and tear.
The pattern adds texture, grounding the space and giving it that touch of old-world sophistication that Art Deco is known for.
This Art Deco-inspired kitchen is a stunning example of how timeless design can be reimagined with a modern twist. From the bold green cabinetry to the intricate patterned seating, every detail has been thoughtfully selected to blend elegance with functionality.
The curves, patterns, and textures all work together to create a kitchen that feels both nostalgic and contemporary, while the hidden scullery provides a practical solution for keeping the main kitchen clutter-free.
