Deco, Art Deco and Art Moderne are terms that refer to the: Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes, a style of design introduced at the 1925 Paris International Exposition.
The cove ceiling and the pass thru are good examples of deco. I don't see any deco furniture.
The style of the two candlesticks, iron work, and curtain rods are refered to as Spanish Colonial Revival.
Bruce...you'd have a field day if you waltzed into my menagerie. Art Deco, Spanish Colonial Revival, Mission, Arts & Crafts, French Second Empire, Beaux Arts and Louis XV abound.

It was built in 1929, and had a kitchen (which is as big as most living rooms) and a bath room add-on in '63 or '64, we still have those cabinets, so soon, we might remodel...
Edit...
ND: We have all that, before I were to do any of that though, I would clean that Singer, as you can see, it's dusty...
Did you know...? Lemon Scented Furniture Polisher has more real lemon juice in it that Country Time Lemonade.

Sounds like a plan. we're going to remodel our duplex pretty soon. Seeing as how the cabinets are a bit wonky and the walls were poorly patched by management, I get to provide receipts and suck for them, but we get to replace it all.
In other news, only a few items left to stick together and 'll try starting her up.

I owned a Spanish house many moons ago that was built in 1933, the ceiling was the same and was very popular in Spanish houses of the 1920's-30's.
Is the tile in the kitchen and bathroom original? If so...it could be Catalina or Malibu. If I told you what ONE piece of original Catalina or Malibu tile is worth, you'd prolly faint dead away.
The roof tiles are prolly from Gladding McBean. If any are turquoise...guard them with your life!
Do you know how to date an old house? One way is...if the bathroom fixtures are original, take the top off the toilet tank, turn it over and look for a date. No, I'm not kidding.
The date will be plus/minus 3 months of when the house was built.

No, the downstairs bathroom & kitchen was an add-on from '63-'64. They were both re-tiled couple years before we moved in...
The roof tiles are just regular red mission style. And they have probably been replaced at one point as well...

Take some exterior shots of the house and email them to me. Then I can tell you what style of Spanish house it is.
DO NOT use any furniture polish or wax that has SILICONE in it--like Lemon Fresh Pledge.
Silicone will eat into the wood and destroy the finish on old furniture. It doesn't hurt the new junk, because it has a varathane or polyurethane finish.

Bruce, the outside of the house is circa 1985, the inside is 1700-1930.
