AI summary

Modernising a classic Art Deco home involves blending its unique character with contemporary living standards. Incorporate signature features like arches, polished plaster surfaces, and reeded glass into your renovation for an authentic feel.

Update outdated, compartmentalised layouts to create open-plan living and better indoor/outdoor flow. For colour, draw inspiration from Napier's pastels or use resources like the Dulux Heritage Collection.

Finally, prioritise essential upgrades like insulation, heating, and double-glazing to ensure your home is warm and energy-efficient.
