What is the Connection between Art Deco and H&M Home?

This spring I was not happy about H&M's home collection (see my post here), but now the brand really suprised me. I am not sure if it was their intention, but some of their items can find their way to an Art Deco style home very easily. I never thought about such a pairing - H&M Home and Art Deco -, and maybe the brains behind this collection also did not, but just take a look at this moodboard. With the exception of the table -  see retailer here - the rest of the items are by H&M Home, and make a perfectly modern, stylish Art Deco set. Combine them with black, white, marble and shiny brass. 

Why to be careful with the HM Home 2016 spring collection

Green is definitely in, also in the H&M Home collection. This spring's assortment was all about jungle, leaf motifs and lots of green. And I am not sure whether I love it or not. (Most likely not.) Ethnic trends are always present, tribal patterns look fantastic in black and white, adding green and wood also works, but unless you are a workaholic jungle researcher or owner of a Hawaiian themed B&B, be careful with palm motifs. You buy it, you get bored with it, you do not use it any more. It is just too themed and has 'H&M Spring 2016' written all over it. Above are the items I could invest in, and would not regret having next year.
