Neo Deco – which combines the glamour and opulence of the Art Deco movement with sleek, contemporary styling – has been dubbed one of 2026’s rising interior trends by Pinterest.
And while statement accessories and bold wallcoverings might take centre stage, the perfect flooring will cement the look, says family-run wood flooring specialists Woodpecker Flooring.
According to Woodpecker Flooring, homeowners who are looking to embrace the Neo Deco movement should look for elegant, characterful wood floors with a touch of modern styling.
Darwyn Ker, Managing Director of Woodpecker Flooring, said: “Neo Deco interiors are all about confidence, craftsmanship and a sense of modern glamour, and wood flooring plays a crucial role in setting that tone. Visible grain, understated luxury and chevron styling all help anchor the space, add warmth and make the room feel truly considered.”
Strong geometrics are a key foundation in Neo Deco-inspired interiors, making Woodpecker Flooring’s iconic Design Panels a must.
Evoking the timeless elegance of the past, Woodpecker Flooring’s Sandringham and Highgrove Design Panels are handcrafted to order. Each panel, which is made up of multiple sawn blocks and distinctive shapes, is assembled by hand showcasing the impeccable craftsmanship that goes hand-in-hand with the Neo Deco movement.
Parquet flooring was another hallmark of the Art Deco movement and Goodrich Charred Oak Engineered Wood Flooring offers the feeling of reclaimed parquet floor. Gloriously bold, it is made up of hand-distressed blocks featuring stunning colour variations, marks, scuffs, dents and tumbled edges for flooring that feels like it could come straight from the 1920s.
Luxurious and expansive, wooden flooring made up of wide planks – around 240mm – will also transport interiors back into the opulence of Art Deco. Reducing visual clutter, a wide plank, such as Woodpecker Flooring Chepstow Antique Oak Engineered Wood Flooring, will make a room feel much more grand.
And for a final finishing touch that will truly elevate flooring, Woodpecker Flooring’s Design Strips can be used to create a seamless transition from one floor to another, or add a design statement into a parquet pattern. They are available in two finishes which lean into Art Deco’s love of metallics – luxury brass or brushed stainless steel.
Darwyn added: “Neo Deco interiors are all about confidence and contrast, so the flooring needs to anchor the space without competing with it. Well-chosen wood flooring creates a calm, structured base that allows the bold shapes, metallic accents and statement furniture of the Neo Deco movement to really shine.”
