Glass elevator shafts and access corridors display decoration typically found only in art museums. Even light fixtures and ventilation covers are worthy of note, with no expense or detail spared.

A twenty-foot high piece of reinforced glass, being the wall to an elevator shaft on the RMS Queen Mary. inlaid into the glass is an art deco representation of the three-funnelled ship, as well as a small tug/steamer coming to meet it. A wooden door/archway with figures carved into the wood both along the wall and in the ceiling. Visible are intricate images of a Mexican cowboy wearing a large sombrero, a hunter with a rifle wearing naval gear, and a family of three dogs sleeping in the grass. A circular art deco light fixture in the Verandah bar of the RMS Queen Mary. The design is reminiscent of 1930s science fiction, and is in the shape of a flying disc. Silver stars are prominent, as is a large protruding centrally-lit globe. Glass leafs/wings emanate from the edge of the circular wall of the fixture. A ventilation cover in the Verandah bar of the RMS Queen Mary. The cover is rounded and extends around a rounded corner of the room. The design is reminiscent of a metallic musical score, although no musical notes are seen. Instead, an intricate custom pattern is created which could be interpreted in a number of ways.
