The Glamorous interior style is one of the most feminine, elegant, and sophisticated design styles. The whole idea of Glam decor is to make your room look full, dramatic, and expensive. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be expensive to decorate Glamorous (with help from Boulevard Home)! Let’s begin by learning about the origin of Glamorous interior design.
Glamorous interior design first became popular in the early 1930s, when Hollywood was in its “Golden Age.” Glam originated from the Old Hollywood look. Other styles that are similar to Glamorous interior design are Hollywood Regency, Art Deco, and French.
How to Decorate in the Glamorous Style
Glam styles include bold colors, including jewel tones, metallics (gold, silver, brass, etc.), black, and white. While you can style a Glam room using any colors, these colors are the most popular.
Glam incorporates a lot of bold colors and textures. In Glam homes, you’ll find a mixture of velvet, suede, faux fur, and marble. You may also find accents of crystal, mirrors, and animal prints. Bold is the name of the game when it comes to Glamour.
Furniture
It is very common to mix and match your sofas and accent chairs in the Glam style. Try mixing colors, textures, and sizes to create interesting combinations. A popular combination is to pair a plain sofa with an exotic accent chair. Another fun combination worth trying is velvet and fur or suede and beaded fabric.
Tufted chairs, sofas, and headboards can add a lot of shape and dimension to a Glam room. Studded-edge furniture is also very popular in Glam decor. Gold trim on coffee tables, nightstands, dining room table make simple pieces pop. Marble countertops are the most popular stone in kitchens.
Accessories
Wall art, statement light fixtures, beaded and patterned pillows, and table art are among some of the most popular accessories used in Glam interior. You will commonly see abstract art and vintage photos on the walls of Glam rooms. Unique lamps that make a statement and other gold light fixtures find their way into the Glam style. Chandeliers are often found in entryways and above dining room tables. Large mirrors with dramatic, metallic frames are often used. Faux fur throw blankets are an easy way to add more personality to a sofa or bed. This style incorporates lots of geometric shapes and tends to avoid natural geometry.
