HOME'N'LIFESTYLE

Your interior décor should reflect the person you are without being overly dazzling. Mirrored surfaces, velvet sofas, crystal chandeliers, chic neutrals, and brilliant metallic are all part of classic glam décor. Glamorous designs that add a sparkle to your interior space are easy to put together if you have the right ideas.

For glam designs that exhumes luxury and sophistication in a glitzy scheme, here are some exceptional ideas you can use.

Focus on Neutral Colors

There is sophistication in simplicity. Rid your rooms of all colorful hues and strip it down to its foundation. A basic canvas in shades of white, cream, gray, and tan will bring out an alluring backdrop. When thinking of neutral colors, think of the walls, rugs, and upholstery.

The colors of the furniture and house accessories may take a slightly different direction. Consider having them in soft but luxurious textures and pair them with sharp darks like navy or black. Jewel tones will also bring out the cushier side of glam created by monochromatic layers.

Add some crystal, gemstones, or pearls to your furniture. Saturated colors in the shades of purple, blue, and teal can be accented with oversized floral and brushed chrome.

Brilliant Ceiling Lighting

Nothing quite spells glam like statement lighting. Chandeliers have their way of making a room feel rich and classy. Polished chrome, crystal, and glass are all stunning and reflect warmth and glamor.

They also help create a visual impact, and with this in mind, make lighting your focal point. Go for bold light fixtures that will feel safe hanging from above the entryway, dining table, or above the bed.

Metallic elements are the in-thing right now, yet another significant element you can use to add more shine to your space. Mixed applications with a polished finish will bring out the best shine effect compared to brushed or oiled finishes.

Patterns and Textures

Textures have a way of creating a more significant impact on the décor of a room. However, if you must use them, keep in mind that the bigger they are, the better the outcome. Borrow some ideas from old Hollywood and art deco and present them throughout your glam texture and patterns.

Textures and patterns can be used accentuate space for a particular use. Remember to cater to the visual interests of children. Incorporate stimulating patterns and textures in their playing and sleeping rooms.

As you choose your patterns and textures, remember that light affects texture. Light that directly falls on textured surfaces enhances it while diffused light detracts from it. Every kind of texture reflects light differently. Use shiny reflective textures for the areas where you need more light and darker textures where you want to reduce light levels.

Remember to balance the patterns. Strong ones should be coupled with more subdued ones so that a room doesn’t feel overpowered. For a more outstanding effect, use the elements in layers of strong alternating with subtle for a more balanced look.

Striking a Balance is the Bottom Line

In all the efforts you make in glamming your interiors space, striking a balance is vital. Eye-catching pieces and colors are a must, but having too many of them will create an opposite effect. Your space will appear overwhelming, and it’ll be hard to focus with so many items fighting for attention.

You must be willing to compromise to achieve a balance. If using bold colors, choose one with a neutral shade. If you have a piece of décor that seems to be the perfect statement piece, ensure you highlight it by subduing the rest of the space.

This is your space. Play around to tweak your design until everything feels perfect.

Final Thoughts

Glamming your interior space is a matter of choosing the kind of décor that feels perfect for your personality. Glamorous décor isn’t hard to find and play around with in a way that makes sense to interior design.

However, remember that moderation is also essential. Lighting, patterns, textures, and neutral colors are some of the décor ideas to play around with for a celestial effect. You’ll also never go wrong with metallic and jewel tones.

Just ensure you don’t go overboard with your décor lest you strip the room of its carefully curated look.
