What is Art Deco SREF style

Art Deco, characterized by strong geometric forms, sleek, streamlined contours, and dramatic emphasis on light and shadow, evokes the glamour of the early 20th century, especially 1930s illustration and photography. This visual aesthetic translates powerfully in Midjourney, often relying on high contrast and sharp chiaroscuro to define mass and shape, as seen in classic portraiture and early science fiction visuals. Utilizing this style in a prompt results in bold, graphic compositions with a distinctly sophisticated and often retro-futuristic feel, making it perfect for creating striking, timeless imagery that emphasizes strong form.

Art Deco Prompt Ideas

  • A heroic portrait of a pioneering inventor smoking a cigarette, sharp contrast, dramatic key lighting, black and white illustration
  • A streamlined ocean liner cruising towards a towering, geometric city skyline at dusk, high detail, Art Deco architecture
  • Still life composition of cut glass decanters and exotic fruit on a draped table, extreme chiaroscuro, moody atmosphere
  • A glamorous woman in an elaborate feathered hat, profile view, dramatic studio lighting, graphic monochrome rendering

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
