Art Nouveau architecture had a significant impact on the design of commercial buildings. Buildings constructed in the Art Nouveau style often featured decorative and highly ornamental elements such as curving lines, organic forms, and floral motifs. The use of decorative elements was not merely limited to the exterior of the building but carried within in the interior design as well.
Following the Art Nouveau movement, commercial buildings began to incorporate sculptural elements, decorative carvings, wrought iron work, mosaic tiles, and stained glass, which added a sense of luxury and sophistication to the buildings. The facades of commercial buildings also became more elaborate, featuring intricate designs, and the use of innovative materials such as concrete and glass was introduced.
Overall, Art Nouveau architecture revolutionized the design of commercial buildings and contributed to the creation of a new style that emphasized the importance of artistic expression and individuality in architecture.
