Glitz, Glamour and Gorgeous
While Hollywood Regency design is a throwback to another era, it’s still incredibly modern and relevant to today’s hurried lifestyle, where people view homes as havens where they can relax. Our master bedroom design was inspired by and built around the already existing thick sculpted carpet which actually fits right in with the Hollywood regency theme. The carpet is dark blue with hints of green, gold and red. We decided the rest of the room would be more tone on tone white, accented with a fun pop of color-yellow. The paint schematic is a warm gray scale with extra-white highlights. Our furniture pieces tend to have more of a mid-century modern look-while our chair and ottoman are more French provincial. We sprayed all of the wood out high gloss white and to bring as much glitz, glamour and shine we lacquered them. Mirrors are an essential element to any Hollywood regency design so we built individual mirror panels with special decorative accents. The accessories needed to have a flare for the glam and be somewhat theatrical so we used an oversized lamp with crystals, eclectic candleholders, tape canvas art and of course lots of frames. The bed is simple in design but not lacking fabulosity, with its white gator headboard softened with pillows made from vintage blouses. A colorful painting split into several frames makes for a fun abstract look which ties in with the fun yellow pop of color. We used very simple white draperies to finish the windows. No Hollywood room would be complete without a chandelier-we found a great glass and silver one that works perfectly, just enough glam without being overstated. This over the top style is not just for the rich and famous, we created this look for $400 and with a little help from our friends.
