As much as we love sleek, minimalist style, glam design is undeniably alluring. We have some must-haves for every glam living room if you want to let your inner diva run free.
1. Statement Lighting
Forget soft, recessed lighting. Glam living rooms feature statement-making light fixtures, like chandeliers or oversized pendant lights. In the case of glamorous lighting, bigger is always better, but if your living room lacks the space for a prominent single lighting fixture, you can get the same effect with several floor and table lamps.
2. Luxe Drapery
Floor-to-ceiling drapes are inherently elegant and dramatic, perfect for a glam setting. Drapes that kiss the floor are attention-grabbing, and that’s what captivating design is all about. Elevate the look with silk or velvet panels. Hang your drapes just below the ceiling to make it appear higher and create the illusion of a more spacious room.
3. Cozy Candles
Sometimes, you want to dim the lights and relax while keeping the glam vibe alive. The solution is candles. Candles can transform any space into an intimate, enticing one. Opt for scented varieties to make the environment a treat for more than just your eyes.
4. Throw Pillows & Blankets
Glam design feels as wonderful as it looks. This means stocking up on chunky knit throw blankets and overstuffed accent pillows. Nothing is too extravagant when you’re going for a glam look, so pile on the pillows.
5. Metallic Details
If it’s shiny and has an upscale aesthetic, it’s perfect for a glam interior. Consider the room’s overall decor before you choose metallic drapery hardware, candlesticks, or other accessories. A room decked out with neutrals can use the warmth of gold tones, while a space that’s already warm can benefit from the contrast of cool silver accents.
6. Area Rugs
Polished hardwood floors are always a gorgeous addition, but when you’re going glam, you need to consider posh comfort. Area rugs are a great way to bring that to your living room. Whether your style includes Persian, sheepskin, or shag, ensure the flooring blends well with the surrounding decor. Glam style may feel a bit eclectic, but it has more unity than eclecticism.
7. Ornate Mirrors
Nothing brings glamorous charm and romance to a living room like an ornate mirror. A well-placed mirror will brighten up a dark room and make it appear larger. Instead of a large mirror, you can also opt for several smaller mirrors in varying shapes to give your living room an extra touch of unique style.
