Free Art Deco interior CAD block pack for AutoCAD

What's in the Art Deco pack

The pack covers the furniture that carries the style. Seating: barrel chairs, fan-back lounge chairs, channel-tufted club sofas and curved banquettes. Case goods: stepped sideboards, mirrored consoles, bar cabinets and low display cabinets with strong horizontal banding. Decorative: sunburst and chevron rugs, round and octagonal cocktail tables, floor lamps with tiered shades, and large statement mirrors drawn as elevation symbols.

Many pieces ship as a mirrored pair in the same file, because deco rooms are built around symmetry — two identical chairs either side of a fireplace, matching consoles bracketing a doorway. Having the pair already drawn saves you mirroring and re-aligning by hand.

Typical Art Deco furniture sizes to design around

Reach for these envelopes when you place the blocks. A deco club sofa tends to run wide and low: overall width roughly 1900–2200 mm with a seat height around 380–430 mm, lower than a modern sofa. Barrel and fan-back lounge chairs sit in a 700–850 mm square footprint. A cocktail table is usually round or octagonal at 800–1100 mm across and deliberately low at 400–450 mm high. Stepped sideboards and bar cabinets land around 1600–2000 mm long and 450–550 mm deep.

These are ranges drawn from how the style is typically built, not a spec sheet — confirm against the real piece you are specifying. For circulation, the deco look wants air: keep at least 900–1000 mm of clear walkway around a centred seating group so the symmetry has room to breathe.

How to use the set to build a deco room

Set out the room's main axis first — usually the line from the entrance to a fireplace, window or feature wall. Place the sofa or banquette square on that axis, then mirror a pair of lounge chairs across it so they face each other. Centre the cocktail table on the axis between them. This axial method is what makes a plan read as Art Deco rather than just 'curved furniture'.

Bring in the consoles and sideboards against the flanking walls, again as mirrored pairs where the wall allows. Drop a sunburst or chevron rug under the seating group and let its centre line up with the room axis — the rug's geometry is doing a lot of the styling work. Keep the decorative blocks (lamps, mirrors, vases) on their own layer so you can present a clean furniture plan and a fully dressed plan from one drawing.

Plan and elevation views

For the layout you work in plan: footprints arrayed on the room axis so you can check symmetry and clearance. For client boards and joinery you switch to elevation, where the stepped profiles, banded cabinet fronts and tiered lamp shades that signal the style are seen face-on. Several blocks ship both views in the same DWG, so a single download gives you the plan and the matching elevation.

Elevation heights matter for deco because the style plays with proportion: low seating under high mirrors, horizontal cabinet banding against vertical fluting. The elevation blocks carry sensible heights so those contrasts hold up when you draw the wall.

Per-item notes

- Club sofa: low and deep — leave knee room in front and don't push it tight to a low cocktail table. - Barrel chairs: best used as a facing pair; their curved backs define a conversation circle. - Mirrored console: drawn thin in plan but visually dominant in elevation; use it to anchor a wall, not for storage volume. - Cocktail table: octagonal and round options are interchangeable on the same insertion point, so you can swap the geometry without moving anything. - Sunburst rug: insert last and centre it on the room axis; freeze it for technical plots. - Statement mirror: an elevation-only symbol — place it on the wall elevation, not the plan footprint.

Where the deco pack is used

Art Deco blocks show up across hospitality and residential restoration work: hotel lobbies and lounges, cocktail and speakeasy bars, cinema and theatre foyers, period-apartment refurbishments, members' clubs and any scheme chasing a Gatsby-era mood. Pair them with the broader furniture and lighting categories to build a complete dressed layout quickly.

Because the files are free and licence-clear, they suit mood-board plans, competition boards and student period-design projects where you need believable era-appropriate furniture without licensing fuss. The same blocks carry from a concept layout through to a coordinated FF&E drawing, so you are not redrawing the seating at every stage.
