What Is Glam Style?

Glam style is the art of balancing extravagance with elegance. It’s characterized by rich textures, metallic accents, bold patterns, and luxurious materials. While it celebrates opulence, glam style also maintains a sense of sophistication through clean lines and curated decor.

There are two main variations of glam style:

Hollywood Glam

Glam Bedroom with bed that has a sparkle frame upholstered headboard

Hollywood Glam (Regency): Inspired by the 1920s and 1930s, this style features Art Deco patterns, vintage-inspired furniture, and intricate detailing.

Modern Glam

Modern Glam: A sleeker take on glamour with minimalistic furniture, gold or metallic accents, and contemporary touches like mirrored surfaces.

Key Characteristics of Glam Style

To create a glamorous space resonate of a luxury estate, focus on these essential elements:

1. Neutral Color Palette with Bold Accents

  • Start with a foundation of soft neutrals like cream, white, gray, or black.
  • Add bold pops of jewel tones (emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red) or pastels for contrast.
  • Use metallics like gold, silver, or rose gold to elevate the overall look.

2. Luxurious Textures & Fabrics

  • Incorporate plush materials such as velvet, silk, faux fur, and high-pile rugs.
  • Opt for tufted furniture such as sofas or headboards for timeless sophistication.
  • Layer textures to create depth—think velvet drapes paired with a fur throw.

3. Statement Lighting

  • Chandeliers are a must-have in any glam space. Choose crystal-adorned designs for maximum impact.
  • Complement chandeliers with metallic table lamps or wall sconces for added drama.

4. Mirrors & Metallic Accents

  • Mirrors not only add shine but also create the illusion of more space.
  • Use mirrored furniture or metallic finishes on tables, consoles, and decor items to reflect light beautifully.

5. Bold Patterns & Geometric Designs

  • Incorporate Art Deco-inspired patterns such as quatrefoils or chevrons in wallpaper or rugs.
  • Use geometric motifs subtly through accent pieces like cushions or ottomans.
