Design Style Spotlight: Egyptian Revival
We’re putting the style spotlight on Egyptian Revival today, and I could not be more excited. If the terms Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and Memphis Style resonate with your design heart, then you are going to love this style that's making a comeback. With its classic lines and shapes harkening back to the way ancient Egyptian architecture and design were incorporated into the Art Deco style of the 1920s and 30s, this revival takes a fresh approach while staying true to its ancient foundations.

This lovely area rug boasts a bold graphic that would look great in your living room or lounge area. Constructed from all-natural materials, this 90% wool and 10% cotton rug is sure to please the sun god Ra as well. Its reeded motif evokes the Egyptian Revival trend and would look absolutely stunning alongside the Winford Velvet Sofa listed below.

It doesn’t get much more lush than this plush, deep olive green sofa from Safavieh. With beautiful details like brass feet and reeded tufting, this beauty would look fabulous with a pair of gorgeous indoor palm plants in your living room or lounge area. This statement-making sofa would look lovely with the Four Hands Botanicals in Watercolor by Jess Engle hanging nearby.

Hold. The. Phone. This lovely chair exemplifies the classic Egyptian/Empire style, bringing in a bold black-and-white graphic punch and sensually curving arms. The durable steel frame ensures longevity, and it comes with a cozy pillow to provide lumbar support. I can picture four of these beauties set around a game table or coffee table. And if you need one for your space, you can’t go wrong with the Bliss Studio Montrose Cocktail Table in Muriwai Oak Finish.

I’m a sucker for a bold black and white statement, and the Jax drink table is the perfect way to bring in the Egyptian Revival style. This sculptural black and white marble table combines Egyptian shapes (pyramids and orbs, oh my!) with sinuous swirls of natural stone. What’s not to love? Snap up this table for your library, office or lounge space and pair it with the Four Hands Cairo Chair.
