Shanghai Art Deco Rich / Statement Wellness Painting Theme

Shanghai Art Deco Rich pairs Gush Date Night (RE000B) on the main walls with a Raffles Burgundy Bazaar limewash feature wall — a cool, high-contrast jewel tone scheme that feels glamorous, geometric. It suits the dining room or lounge, and works with brass, velvet, dark marble. Its cool undertone stays crisp under 4000K–5000K light; very warm 2700K–3000K bulbs can make Burgundy Bazaar look greyer. Shanghai Art Deco flourished in the 1920s and 1930s, when the city's International Settlement and French Concession made it a cosmopolitan port where international Art Deco met local materials and motifs.

Design history

History and meaning

Shanghai Art Deco flourished in the 1920s and 1930s, when the city's International Settlement and French Concession made it a cosmopolitan port where international Art Deco met local materials and motifs. The 1925 Paris exposition that named Art Deco inspired a building boom; landmark hotels and apartment blocks along the Bund and in the former French Concession still define the cityscape, designed by architects such as Laszlo Hudec. The style combined geometric glamour with Chinese-influenced detail and materials. The theme brings brass, velvet and dark marble into a jewel-toned palette, so a living room reads as glamorous and geometric.

What it represents: It represents glamorous, geometric character through a jewel tone palette and the recognisable visual language of Shanghai Art Deco.

Why it works here: Here, the smooth Gush walls and softly textured Raffles limewash give brass, velvet, dark marble a coherent backdrop, making the theme practical for the home.

How it feels at home

Date Night on the main walls keeps the Shanghai Art Deco scheme richer, more anchored and practical for dining / lounge. Burgundy Bazaar as the Raffles R.LIMEWASH feature wall gives a subtle mineral layer that fits brass, velvet, dark marble. The cool cast helps reduce visual heat and keeps daylight feeling clear, while the limewashed focal wall adds calm depth without visual clutter.

Soft or Rich

How Shanghai Art Deco Rich differs from its twin

Pick Rich when you want the feature wall to make a statement in a well-lit room; pick Soft for a lighter, airier feel in smaller or dimmer rooms.
