Why Art Deco Works for Open Workspaces
Art Deco can work well in a open workspace when you balance the style's core elements with the room's functional needs. Focus on bold geometric patterns while ensuring the space still serves its purpose: open workspaces house daily work activities, promote collaboration, accommodate team growth and change, and express organizational culture. they should support both focused work and team interaction. Select materials like Lacquered wood or Polished brass that can handle the demands of this room.

Also keep in mind the room's abundant natural light where possible and personal storage (lockers, pedestals) when selecting furniture and finishes.

Space & Budget Guidance
Small Space Tips
Art Deco's boldness can overwhelm small spaces if overdone. Use it as accents: a sunburst mirror, geometric lamp, gold accessories. Keep walls light and let Deco pieces be the stars. For a small open workspace: Small open workspaces (under 20 people) can feel community-like. Include variety despite limited space—even one phone booth and a small collaboration area help.
Large Space Tips
Large spaces can embrace full Art Deco drama with lacquered furniture, bold geometric wallpaper, substantial lighting fixtures, and rich color throughout. Create glamorous conversation areas with Deco seating groups. In a larger open workspace: Large open workspaces (50+ people) require sophisticated planning: distinct neighborhoods, ample focus options, varied collaboration spaces, and clear wayfinding.
Budget-Friendly
Focus on impactful accessories: sunburst mirrors and clocks, geometric candleholders, gold-framed prints. DIY geometric patterns with tape and paint. Thrift stores often have Deco-inspired pieces from 80s revivals.
Luxury Approach
Source authentic vintage Art Deco furniture from dealers, commission custom lacquerwork, install dramatic Deco-style lighting, and specify premium materials (marble, exotic woods, brass) throughout.
