The style of the interior design "art deco" originated in the beginning of the 20th century in France and originally assumed the use for the bedroom design of only natural materials of high value - valuable woods, semiprecious and ornamental stones, ivory, crocodile skin, the skin of rare animals.
The use of such materials makes it possible to give the bedroom design art-deco refinement, piquancy and glamorous elegance. At the same time, many design elements were borrowed from Empire style and Cubism and diluted with primitivism of decorative ornaments of African tribes and archaic elements characteristic of ancient civilizations.

This accent is strengthened with parquet boards, laid with a "Christmas tree". An additional feature of the style is the trapezoidal design of door and window openings, and mirrors.
