1920s ART DECO Kitchen MAKEOVER! ✨ DIY & Budget Friendly

[@reneedepooter5715]

My husband was an artist on Bioshock. He thinks your kitchen looks awesome and you did a great job.

[@justlanchen]

WHAT! OMG 😭 that is so cool!!! I am extremely flattered you showed him the kitchen and you checked my video out🥰🫶😭

[@TwistedSisttaa]

That is so cool

[@christinaharrington7328]

That's an insanely cool claim to fame!!!

[@justlanchen]

RIGHT!!!! @@christinaharrington7328

[@idkwuzgoinon]

wow, neat!!

[@wateryourcermet]

The darker green was 1000% the right choice.

[@justlanchen]

right! haha could you imagine if I didn't change it?!

[@marybethmorrison]

You really nailed this aesthetic! With regards to the mirror, I always think those pieces that look like they are from an older era, they actually lend authenticity to the era you are trying to replicate - because it’s really only in the 21st century that people seem to want to do a clean sweep of their homes when redecorating. My British great-grandparents and grandparents favored a very pronounced streamline moderne aesthetic in their kitchen, but it was nuanced with older, treasured bits. Overlapping eras make your aesthetic look a genuinely historic home, as opposed to a stage set.

[@christinamcallister3791]

Totally agree 💯

[@justlanchen]

I'm so glad you said that because I thought the same thing! It was hard to find images to decorate off of because they weren't just 1920s, they were mixed with so many other items from other decades

[@diannnoeora]

I agree with your “clean sweep” and authenticity. You stated what I was thinking so perfectly!

[@dressmaking]

For anyone wanting to paint or wall paper their refrigerator, most fridge doors are designed to come off with just a screwdriver. This makes it much easier to carry to your work area and/or work more ergonomically. You can also switch the direction in which the doors open to make it more convenient for your space. Fancier fridges might not have this option but the ubiquitous white rental fridge usually does!

[@nomoretwitterhandles]

If there's one thing I've learned from this, it's that I'd rather have a cute small space instead of a boring large one! Keep up the good work, you're very inspiring.

[@joannecatherinegabl1913]

The scallop design you did is fantastic. Overall, great job!

[@justlanchen]

Thank you so much! 😭🫶

[@raneemilliman7130]

I love art deco and I think your area looks amazing. I love the green paint color and the gold highlights really bring it together. Utilizing some of what you already owned is key to people learning how to blend new with old. To recycle a previously owned item, into a new atmosphere, helps encourage others to do the same. Less waste and a great way to save money.

[@justlanchen]

You’re so right! I’m also super flattered you like the space🥰🥰🥰🥰🥹🥹

[@ambersampson744]

I love that you kept the black and white flooring! It's classic, and wayyy better to not rip out something that works!🖤🤍🖤

[@justlanchen]

right!! the flooring is so pretty. I've always wanted checkered floors

[@SunnySensei]

I love it! My only note would be to maybe paint a gold medallion on the ceiling instead (similar to the artwork or mirrors). 😘

[@kikis_stuff]

What a capable, tasteful and cool person you are !

[@justlanchen]

🫶🫶

[@Riccy102]

Believe it or not, we decorated this way in the 80's. I loved Art Deco style and when it started going out in the 90's, people were left with all this gold hardware on doors and cabinets and gem tones painted on their walls. There were a lot of curves and soft lines in the furniture. But alas times changed and so did decorating tastes. Now here it comes back again! Embrace your favorite style and don't worry about the trends...That's the lesson I've learned now that I'm a lot older. (I still love Art Deco and the color "teal". ;-)

[@NotoriousPND429]

A vintage milk glass schoolhouse pendant in a Deco shape would look phenomenal in there. I'd paint the piece on the opposite wall (the candleholder) gold. I actually liked the gold velvet curtain. You said it looked too circus-y but I always associate the 20s.and 30s with circuses (think "Water For Elephants" aesthetic.)

[@1371gabriela]

the cat is so adorable! and the cat really likes the new couch.

[@keys_open_doors]

It all came together beautifully. Great job! The fridge being painted green really worked! (I wasnt sure how that was going to turn out at first)

[@sfreason4112]

Great job and great choices! Horizontal wall = horozontal art & conversely verticle wall= vertical art. Many would not have furnished their entire rooms in one era.

[@miketracy69]

I love the fridge ! Also the sharpie "wall paper" hack!

[@justlanchen]

Thank you!! I'm so happy I found the Thompson haven't TikTok video. I had no idea that was even a thing!!!

[@doriangaay]

Oh my goodness this turned out so good !!! The details I liked best are definitely the smaller mirrors and the gallery light

[@justlanchen]

Glad you liked it!!🫶🫶🫶🫶🥰🥰

[@lorrainelamour7224]

Now it's warm and inviting, and seems cozy. You could put two small lights that shine up in the corners if you want more light. Maybe you could hang the tasseled curtain across the doorway to the bedroom or bath.

[@adriennee.martin3017]

Wow! What an eye! You did an amzing job of glamorizing the kitchen but keeping functionality. I want to tell you that contrast not the darkness of your colors makes a room feel small. You keep working it!

[@sandragraves1177]

The yellow curtain looked cool

[@Lux_Lethal]

I liked it, too, but Parisian Art Deco is my favorite interior style, so no surprise there. It just needed to be ironed/steamed to get the wrinkles out, and it would've hung more appropriately over the window.

[@nenemaria-cornfieldsgarden]

Your video popped up on my feed and well, I'm all about a good makeover! Just wanted to say you did an amazing job, the stencils really brought the walls together and that dark green is perfect! small spaces are hard to get right and you did a really great job, you should be proud :)

[@justlanchen]

Thank you for saying that 🥹 I was unsure it looked good when I finished because I was working on it for so long. Appreciate the positive feedback 🫶🫶🫶🤍🤍🤍

Place Saran Wrap on the gold tiny tray for the scrubbie.

I love it! The Art deco period is my favorite design style. You did a great job!

[@justlanchen]

Same!! I wish I saw more videos with art deco interiors. It is so beautiful😭 I’m so glad you liked it 🫶🫶

[@reneebonnell5010]

You could get theater light gels in stained glass colors and accent certain key elements in your tea light holder to give the illusion of stained glass.

[@pawlieblog7967]

Love your choices! Love that you painted everything instead of buying wallpaper or cutting wood for the trim. Gorgeous fridge! I’m a huge fan of this art deco era too, also the shift between Nouveau and Deco which could be more 20s than 30s… or between WWI and WWII.

[@melodymcdonnell1528]

This all looks just fabulous!!! Whenever I work on a small space...I like to think, "Jewlbox". Stunning, perfect, pretty, one-of-a-kind. I think you accomplished that! ❤

[@justlanchen]

Thank you for saying that, that means so much 🥰🫶

[@sherrinunya4079]

I love how that sharpie wall turned out! I've been thinking of doing similar in our master bedroom. I've decorated it in Art Deco and some Art Nouveau. Lots of authentic pieces and art work really bring out the vibe. Beautiful job you've done!! 🎉👏🏽👏🏽

[@donnabacon4681]

Gorgeous! Art Decor is my favorite of all design styles. The green - so beautiful! You did a fantastic job! How fun!!

Wow just this is my dream colours. Emerald green and gold details, black-white ❤❤❤❤❤❤.this is not the kitchen this is glamours cafe

[@THEfromkentucky]

We did the same thing with Green paint in our living room. As soon as we finished with an Olive Green, we hated it and immediately ran out to get a darker shade. Repainted in S-W Sherwood Forest Green and I’ve never been happier with a paint color.

[@aanon5716]

just cruising by looking at decor vids & when i saw the green paint & ur plans, i thought eek! dark creepy gothic. BUT it looks amazing! its not dark & gloomy at all. its warm, interesting, bright & welcoming. & very 1920s!

[@justlanchen]

thank you!!! 🥰 I've really fallen in love with the green! It's taking all my willpower to not paint my bathroom the same color 😅 I also love that you think it looks 1920s 🫶🥰

[@HenningMogensen-fx3mw]

This is lovely. I had the idea to change my kitchen for a while to Art Deco. So this wa a good inspiration. One thing I would do is varnish the fridge. It could do with a little shine.

[@susanlarson3926]

Cute! Very speakeasy, a little cafe table lamp would be adorable on that table.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

The very best one thing you did, besides the entire composition? The pattern YOU conceived and drew on the wall -- chef's kiss to your talent. Only so you know: The ceiling light fixture is called a Sputnik, it's from the 60's, and a. Cross-pollinating decade-to-decade is something the best designers do all the time, and, b. It's form goes beautifully w the 1920's look. Also: I'm on less firm ground here, but: Generally, L-brackets are 180° and they're attached to the shelf from the bottom w screws short enough not to penetrate the shelf, but long enough to get a good grip.

[@HeronCoyote1234]

I love your kitty cat! Cuddly, adorable, I can hear them purring!

[@diannnoeora]

Unlike the wealthy, normal folk can’t usually afford to do a clean sweep, so there would usually have been items from previous eras. I really love so much about your design choices. I’m working on an Art Deco bedroom and was planning to do a similar idea behind the bed with a stencil, but at the top of the wall. I may reconsider doing the full wall after seeing how you did yours. I may try doing the use of cardboard, instead of the rather expensive stencil. I’m really impressed with how you changed the pattern on the sides. I’m going to rethink the whole wall now. I found your video, since KZbin suggested it and “Art Deco” caught my eye. I’m going to subscribe.

[@justlanchen]

An art deco bathroom would be so cute!!! I hope it turns out amazing. The diy wall is so affordable, I’m going to try and do it in more rooms too! It’s just too easy. I hope you give it a go! Goodluck with your makeover 🥰🥰

[@jenniferlemming3249]

Beautiful makeover. I’m wondering though, if a clear acrylic (thin) strip of.molding at the top of your painted wall, where the green pain meets the white ceiling would give the ceiling a more tailored look? I know that the eye rarely goes up that far, but sometimes it does, and a black or gold molding might give it a “boxed” look. We inherited ceiling molding in our very small space, and I’m now the biggest fan of putting molding in that space rather than leaving it blank. But, everything else is great!

[@Kiwichick138]

It looks amazing! The green is stunning, and the pattern is what makes it

[@lyssasletters3232]

I am obsessed! It turned out awesome! The gold design on the back wall is such a great idea. If I were you, I would spray paint the tea-light holder gold and then paint the wall that it is hanging on the same dark emerald color that you have on the fridge. I’d also spray paint the cabinet pulls and door hinges gold. Minor details, but you might like how it looks. Anyway, I love how it looks❤❤❤

[@WaterNai]

These are some very nice accents to a plain kitchen. I like how the stencil came out. Since the gold is reflective, to bring more light to the dark green side of the kitchen, it would look good if you continued the stencil around the corners onto the side walls in a sort of waterfall effect.

[@justlanchen]

Thanks for the kind words! I think that’s a very good observation, gold on the other walls would bring in much more light

[@WaterNai]

[@agresticumbra]

Yay! Someone someone sharing their Art Deco-inspired space. Interesting that Hunt Club made your space feel smaller. I think dark colors make walls recede more than shrink, as a general rule. I think it's what it's paired with that changes that effect, so suspect the white on the walls, ceiling, cabinets, stove, and floor contribute to that. Enjoy those stencil designs. I've seen that green/teal shell wallpaper in circulation, and came across a gorgeous kitchen refurbishment that had it on their ceiling. What software did you use to make your room mockups? That said, our entire basement remodel has an Art Deco color influence, due to hubby wanting an Art Deco inspired theatre room. Our hall is a dark teal (20% lighter mix of SW Cascades,) and it doesn't feel smaller at all, just more moody. The walls and ceiling both have the color on it, mainly due to all the jutting edges from I-beams, ductwork, and plumbing running through the ceiling. The trim is red oak stained with General Finishes Hickory, and the doors are stained the same.The flooring is engineered cork planks in a similar hue. The teal and wood look beauteous together, and create a feel like a theatre foyer. If anything, the hall feels longer, and the unattractive ceiling edges are far, far less noticeable. Since I'm a color junky, I'll share the rest of the colors we chose. All are SW Emerald Matte, or BM regal select matte. The Behr is whatever their highest grade flat paint is. Theatre: SW Tricorn Black (front walls, ceiling, baseboards, and tray ceiling,) SW Folkstone (middle and rear ceiling,) BM Peatmoss for rear walls (where the kitchenette/concession stand will be,) and Behr Ultra Pure White for screen. Let me state right now that Peatmoss has a wonderfully deep Art Deco vibe. It's a challenge to find examples of it in use, but to my mind's eye, it's related to brick, but is toned down with a grey-red-violet base. SW office: walls BM dupe of FB Paean Black, ceiling BM Sea Froth. The FB dupe aged the space as soon as the second coat was on. Our house is a 1960's ranch, with the main floor staying truer to its decade. Many of the walls are brush stomped on main floor, and basement; when combined with this black plum hue the basement office feels like another era, even with the trim being original to the house's construction. Btw, we had to replace the baseboard, due to foundation & wall work that was done. It was hard to salvage. Sea Froth is a very light mauve, not white, and creates contrast without being harsh. Hall: SW Cascades 20%. NW office: walls SW Dried Thyme, ceiling SW Shoji White. Like you, it took my husband a number of tries to find the wall colour. He chose one, lived with it for a few months, decided it wasn't the right one, and the search resumed. Something similar happened with the ceiling hue, but was a more immediate change. Flooring: theater Amorim Identity Nightshade, hall & offices Amorim Identity Chestnut. Theatre baseboard is a tall, sawtooth style, like the 1262 ornamental moulding one can find on Home Depot's website. It's could very well be the same, just through a different vendor. We haven't tackled the bath yet, and we haven't changed any of the hardware on the doors. Just changing the colors everywhere made the metal finishes transform. Going to paint swatches in bathroom between now and New Years. In the areas tackled, we used a ton of HUE lights, so we can control the colors, brightness, plus have the theatre lights automatically dim or brighten whenever someone sits to watch something. Will bring in desk lamps into offices, and are casually searching for wall sconces for theatre. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@pawlieblog7967]

Maybe you should do a video about your transformation? Sounds gorgeous! 🎉😊

[@justlanchen]

I'm definitely going to look up some of these paint colors, paint has been a real struggle for me since I finally have had the opportunity to use it. I can tell you put a lot of detail into making your space perfect. I love that you kept the red oak trim, sounds so beautiful with the color combinations you mentioned. I use procreate on my iPad for my mockups! I'm sure there is a much easier way I just don't know what it is 🤣 If you were looking for some Art Deco wall sconces, I found some really good ones on Amazon that are battery operated (they are pricey IMO but good option if you don't want to hardwire or have available sockets for plug ins) amzn.to/3RZzmc0 amzn.to/3TBSjCw
