Bringing Hollywood Glamour into your Home

Bringing Hollywood Glamour into your Home

The Hollywood Glamour (or Hollywood Regency) style is a bold, luxurious, and eclectic decorating style that packs a real ‘wow factor. Often described as a combination between Art Deco and Mid-Century modern, key characteristics of this style include:-

Glamorous, luxurious, opulent, and playful in overall design and details

Picture your home as a movie set from the 1930s. Often filmed in black and white, styling used high contrast pieces that created light and shade in the monochrome palette. As colour film emerged, the use of black and white continued to be used as foundations, combined with statement colour that evolved into a definitive style known as Hollywood Glamour. Doesn’t Miss Lizzie look at home amongst all the blush pink?

Embracing Maximalism with layered, textured design elements and finishes

In Hollywood Glamour styling, individual items draw the focus and take centre stage. It’s a great way to show your personality through your styling choices, and we encourage customers to choose striking, individual pieces they love, that are sure to be talking points with visitors.

Often features mirrored and metallic finishes on decorative objects

Movie stars are often surrounded by glitzy shiny items (including themselves), and mirrored finishes are a hallmark of Hollywood Glamour. Beyond the traditional wall mirrors, mirrored finishes on trinket boxes or trays add a little extra to your decorating as they reflect the items you pair them with, adding another dimension.

Use of vibrant colour and vivid, contrasting patterns to produce striking pairings

Animal print, floral prints, Chinoiserie and bold patterns are simple and beautiful ways to introduce this style into your home. Instead of trying to match similar patterns across different soft furnishings, we suggest you mix pattern and fabrics to create bold combinations that add texture and interest.

Signature use of black and white with strong colour

Using black and white as your styling foundation provides a solid base to build contrast, and adding several items in a single bold colour draws the eye and lifts the mood of the space.

Using lacquered, metallic and high gloss surfaces 

Like mirrored finishes, accenting with metallic objects creates a feeling of opulence and luxury. Don’t be afraid to combine different metallic colours for an eclectic and layered look.

Luxe rich accents such as faux fur, silk, and plush velvet

A secret of successful interior styling lies in the ability to combine textures to give depth and contrast to colour combinations. Hollywood Glamour styling is an approach that utilises this concept well, as it encourages mixing combinations of fabric texture and pattern throughout soft furnishing choices.
