The Olympic Effect: How the Games in Paris Influence Home Decor

Trends in interior design and home décor often take inspiration from various sources, but one unexpected area influencing design trends is the Olympics.

The Olympic Games in Paris were not just a celebration of athletic excellence but also a significant influence on home décor and interior design trends.

One of the most notable effects of the Olympic Games in Paris on home décor is the resurgence of the Art Deco style. This iconic design movement, characterised by geometric shapes, luxurious materials, and bold colours, is experiencing a revival inspired by the city’s rich architectural heritаge and the glamour of the Olympics.

Furthermore, the emphasis on sustainability and eco-consciousness in planning the Olympic Games in Paris is influencing interior design choices. The concept of eco-friendly design, which prioritises natural materials and sustainable decisions, is gaining popularity among homeowners looking to create environmentally conscious living spaces. From pre-loved furniture to energy-efficient lighting solutions, The Paris Olympics inspire a movement towards more sustainable and responsible design practices.

Here at The Fold Antiques, we are prepared to inspire and delight you with a wide selection of Art Deco furniture and French-inspired home décor.
