Luxury furniture for Bucharest: Interbelic, earthquakes, new construction

Q: Which style suits Interwar architecture?

Art Deco. Rounded corners, porthole windows, and terrazzo complement geometrically inspired furniture with velvet and brass accents.

Luxury Furniture for Bucharest: Interwar, Earthquake, New Construction

Bucharest has two very distinct residential worlds: the interwar villas and houses in the city center, often with Art Deco features, and the new constructions in the north towards Pipera. Both are located in one of Europe's most active earthquake zones.

Earthquake Zone: Secure, Don't Stack

Romania is regularly affected by tremors from the Vrancea region. For furnishing, this means the same as in Istanbul: secure tall display cabinets and chests of drawers to the wall, store heavy items at the bottom, and hang lights securely. Many old buildings have an official risk classification that should be known before making major purchases.

Art Deco in Existing Buildings

Interwar architecture, with its rounded corners, porthole windows, and terrazzo floors, pairs exceptionally well with geometrically inspired furniture. Those who reside in these buildings will find the appropriate design language in Art Deco, with velvet and brass as material pairings.

New Construction in the North

The opposite applies here: open floor plans, 2.70-meter ceilings, large window areas. Here, lower furniture, a large rug for zoning, and lighting on multiple levels instead of a dominant chandelier are suitable.
