Nick and the team transform the tired lounge diner of a 1930's semi into a modern space with an art deco twist.

|
Leather sofa
Two sofas rather than a conventional three-piece-suite give the room a more spacious uncluttered look. Debs has chosen classic sofas with 1930's rounded lines which add to the period feel. |
|
|
|
Dining table
Chrome and black glass were the must-have materials of the 1930s along with leather chairs, so this table and chairs are the perfect addition with a contemporary twist. |
|
|
|
Light fitting
The light fitting is a really exciting modern design which creates contrast with the 1930's furniture. |
|
|
|
Period colour scheme and accessories
Careful selection of the right period colours, in this case muted earth tones and a 1930's clock and poster have given the room a true art deco feel. |
|
|
|
Art deco fireplace
The art deco fireplace is the classic icon of the 1930s, which no self-respecting semi should be without. |

Top Tip |
|
|
If you have a lot of wallpaper to strip it's worth investing in a steam stripper and a heavy duty scraper. If you don't want to buy a steam stripper you can rent one. |
|
|
If you want to create an authentic period feel don't start buying until you have done your research either on the web or at the local library. |
