23 Glamorous Art Deco Townhouses Making Art of the Block

Last updated on December 17, 2025 · ⓘ How we make our designs

Check out our art deco townhouse designs that balance glamour with comfort through bold colors, curving facades, and jewel-like details.

Art Deco townhouses have this funny way of looking both confidently dressed up and totally at ease, and that’s exactly the balance we’ve chased here.

From bold crimson fronts to soft sorbet bands and mint medallions, each facade is a little character with its own mood, borrowing cues from ocean liners, old cinemas, and grand hotel lobbies without feeling like a costume party.

As you move through these designs, keep an eye on the corners and curves: prow-like towers, cylindrical entries, stepped bays, and rounded balconies that wrap around views and catch the light just right.

We’ve pushed vertical lines, stacked windows, and fan motifs to make narrow city lots feel taller and more graceful, while still letting the homes feel genuinely livable, not just “please do not touch” pretty.

And yes, some of these places might look like they’re about to quietly cruise down the street or host a 1930s movie premiere. But underneath the glamour they’re designed for everyday life, just with a bit more sparkle than strictly necessary.
