Don't screw up a beautiful older home by putting in a bunch of weird modern stuff. One of the reasons why I love Art Deco so much is because it functions as a bridge between modernity and much older architecture and design periods. Art Deco can go very elevated and ornate, but it also has this beautiful simple clarity to it. It looks great set against a modern home and also looks great in a much older interior as well. When we added onto our Victorian, instead of just trying to match everything, we went with this Art Deco trim work throughout, which really enabled us to blend the newer and older parts of the home together in a way that it felt like one thing. Remember that it's not just how things look on their own, it's how they look in context. Pay attention to your underlying architecture style. If you're mixing newer and older things in your home, maybe Art Deco could serve as a good bridge for you too.
