Hollywood Regency style also known as Hollywood glam is far from new. In fact, this interior design style began way back in the ‘30s which was known as Hollywood’s Golden Age. Think of gold and glam and opulence and you’re definitely on the right track.

So who are the famous designers who love Hollywood Regency? Elsie de Wolfe, Billy Haines, and Dorothy Draper are the ones who are believed to have catapulted this design to its popularity. Those geometric patterns, black and whites, and color blocks in acid yellow all point to the glamor that is effortlessly achieved in this style.

Emphasis on Glam

When stylizing using Hollywood glam, be sure to put a lot of emphasis on charm and appeal. The furniture pieces for this style leans towards contrasting colors, the richest textures, and the loveliest curves.

You won’t have to doubt whether your home would look lovely because it is sure to become a lot more than this. Instead of the usual low-lying, contemporary pieces that are loved nowadays, what you’ll have is the reliability that luxurious and sumptuous pieces would offer.

Hollywood glam furniture is also about making a bold statement while framing it with delicate accents. You should be able to balance lovely, lavish fabrics as well as luxurious finishes with architectural elements that are traditional.

Bold and Flashy

Though the furniture pieces for Hollywood glam have their fair share of Mid-century modern taste, the rest of the accessories have to be bold and flashy. Search for details that will make you think of Art Deco, jewel tones, and black and white patterns.

White lacquer, as well as gold accents, work pretty well, too. High sheen will always be a part of being flashy and bold. Use lacquer on table tops, mirrors, even mirrored surfaces. Paint floors and use plush area rugs.

Rich colors and strong patterns are crucial features for all Hollywood Regency homes. Even when this is the requirement, these must be used sparingly. To avoid confusion, always keep your décor right on the same palette then just stick to a single or double pattern.

Always focus on the rest of the room through accessories that are light yet cohesive.

Luxe

The most glamorous textures make up every Hollywood Regency habitat. You won’t go wrong with lacquer walls because they are sure to instantly glitz up your room. When you pick fabrics, think of Hollywood movies in the ‘40s and blend them with haute couture gowns. Say yes to chenille, silks, velvet, suede, and fur.

Luxury is also about using anchor colors such as white, black yellow or jolting colors like purple, turquoise, tangerine or fuchsia.

All these lovely textiles offer beautifully distinct finishes. They effectively add depth to your home in such a way that linens and kinds of cotton will not be able to give.

Small Scale Styling Secret

You know how Hollywood can also be the place for cocktail parties and group convos? You don’t have to be bright, golden and bold all the time with this kind of style. In fact, you can begin small.

The classic rule is to use chairs, sofas, and chaises low slung. Their scale must also be modest so they will not overshadow the visitors. Never scatter furniture throughout the room or group them all around your fancy TV. This is simply not Hollywood-ish.

Why Hollywood Regency Works

This larger-than-life style picks from a smorgasbord of interior designs ranging from Neo classical to Chinoiserie to modern and Art Deco. While this is so, you will never feel that the style is a mishmash. It is something that exudes confidence in every layer and impeccable elegance. It is also sophisticated complete with a dash of swagger.

If all these things describe you, then Hollywood Regency style is a great fit.
