How to Design a Room With the Old Hollywood Glamour Style
Are you inspired by the interior design showcased in The Great Gatsby? Do you want to bring styles of classic Hollywood to your home? Check out our tips for decorating your home in the Old Hollywood Glamour design style.
What Does Old Hollywood Glamour Mean in Interior Design?
Homes decorated in the Old Hollywood Glamour style make us feel nostalgic for the allure of entrancing, doe-eyed movie stars.
Furniture in this design style is characterized by:
- Bold, deep colors
- Dramatic, timeless silhouettes
- Rich, plush materials and upholstery
Ellie Design Studio explains, “Hollywood Glam decor is exactly what it sounds like – excessive everyday glamour. Infused with the requisite high-shine lacquered finishes, metallics, and rich fabrics with a nod to Art Deco and Mid Century Modern practicality.”
