Anyone know anything about Art Deco design?

Question:I am remodeling my basement, and would like to do it with an Art Deco Styled theme. Anyone have any good resources, or ideas for colors, light fixtures, etc. for this type of design? Thanks!

Answers:
watch old Ginger Rodger/Fred Astaire movies ( look at the background set decorations) or research the Chrysler building in NYC for inspiration

Art Deco is characterized by use of materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, lacquer, inlaid wood, sharkskin (shagreen), and zebra skin. The bold use of stepped forms and sweeping curves (unlike the sinuous, natural curves of the Art Nouveau), chevron patterns, and the sunburst motif are typical of Art Deco. Some of these motifs were ubiquitous — for example, sunburst motifs were used in such varied contexts as ladies' shoes, radiator grilles, the auditorium of the Radio City Music Hall, and the spire of the Chrysler Building.
