20 Hollywood Style Bedroom Decor Ideas
20 Jaw-Dropping Ways to Transform Your Bedroom with Old Hollywood Glamour
I love the glitz and glamour of Old Hollywood.
The starlets, the clothes, the lifestyle, and the decor. It was a time of extreme luxury and over the top elegance.
The bedroom was no exception. It was a place for romance, luxury, and fun. It was a place where you could go over the top and no one would say a thing.
So I’ve put together a list of ways to incorporate Old Hollywood glamour into your bedroom.
1. Start with a statement headboard.
A statement headboard is a must-have in any bedroom, but especially in a Hollywood Regency-style bedroom.
A headboard makes the bed the focal point of the room and can really set the tone for the entire space.
This one is from Anthropologie, and I love how it has a traditional shape but is upholstered in a modern fabric.
The navy velvet and brass nailhead trim are perfect for setting the Old Hollywood Glamour vibe in this room.
2. Add a mirrored nightstand.
Mirrored furniture is a must-have in any Old Hollywood bedroom. The reflective surfaces add a touch of luxury to the space and also make it feel larger.
If you prefer a more minimalist look, use just one mirrored nightstand and place a regular one on the other side of the bed.
This will give you a pop of glam without overwhelming the space.
3. Bring in a chandelier.
A chandelier is the epitome of glam, and while it might not be the most affordable lighting option, it can make a big statement in your bedroom.
If you don’t want to hardwire a chandelier, you can still get the look by hanging a plug-in chandelier from a hook in the ceiling,
or you can choose a chandelier-style light that can be mounted to the ceiling like a flush mount.
4. Use a decorative room screen.
If you have a large bedroom, consider adding a decorative screen to help break up the space.
This is a great way to create a more intimate sleeping area in a large room.
In this bedroom by Black Lacquer Design, a metallic screen adds a glamorous touch to the space.
The gold hue is repeated in the sconces, side tables, and mirror to create a cohesive look.
If you don’t have room for a screen, you can use a curtain hung from the ceiling to create a similar effect.
5. Add a vanity table.
If you have the space, a vanity table is a must-have in an Old Hollywood bedroom.
Choose a table with a lot of personality and top it with a tufted bench.
Add a mirror and a few decorative items on top, but be sure to leave plenty of room for makeup and skincare products.
If you don’t have a lot of space, you can create a vanity area on top of a small dresser.
Just add a mirror and a few decorative items and you have a glamorous vanity area in your bedroom.
6. Don’t forget a luxurious throw blanket.
This is the perfect accessory to add a pop of color and texture to your bed. You can go with a solid color, or choose a throw with a fun pattern or texture.
For a truly glamorous look, you can also drape a faux fur throw across the bottom of your bed.
7. Add a pop of color with a bold pillow.
If you’re not ready to commit to a bold color on your walls, you can still add a pop of color to your bedroom with a bold pillow.
I love how the bold blue pillow in this bedroom is echoed in the artwork and the throw blanket at the foot of the bed.
The key to making a bold pillow look intentional instead of out of place is to make sure it’s repeated at least one other time in the room.
8. Choose a bold color scheme.
When it comes to color schemes, the options are nearly endless.
However, there are a few key things to keep in mind when choosing a color scheme that will help you achieve a glamorous look.
First, think about how you want your bedroom to feel. If you want a more serene, calming space, opt for soft, muted colors.
If you want a more dramatic, high-impact look, choose a bold, jewel-tone color scheme.
Second, consider how the colors you choose will interact with the other elements in your space.
For example, if you have a lot of bold patterns in your room, you may want to choose a more neutral color scheme so that the patterns don’t compete with one another.
In this glamorous bedroom, interior designer Caitlin Murray used a bold color scheme to create a high-impact look.
The rich, jewel-tone colors of the bedding and the art above the bed are balanced by the deep navy walls and the gold accents throughout the space.
9. Add a statement piece of art.
A statement piece of art is a must in any glamorous bedroom. Look for a large piece of art that makes you feel something.
It should be the focal point of the room and set the tone for the rest of the decor.
If you can’t find a piece of art you love, consider having one commissioned.
There are many talented artists who can create a custom piece of art that’s perfect for your space.
10. Add a pop of color with a bold rug.
If you prefer a more neutral color scheme in your bedroom, you can still incorporate Old Hollywood Glamour with a bold, patterned rug.
This is an excellent way to add a pop of color to an otherwise neutral space.
In this bedroom, the bold, blue rug is the focal point of the room. The rest of the decor is kept simple and neutral so that the rug can really stand out.
11. Add a touch of metallics.
Metallics are a must in a Hollywood Regency bedroom. It’s all about the bling, and metallics add a bit of sparkle to the space.
You can add metallics with your lamps, picture frames, and other accessories.
But, of course, the best way to add metallics to your bedroom is with an accent wall. This rose gold metallic accent wall is the perfect touch in this bedroom.
12. Bring in some fresh flowers.
Fresh flowers can make any room feel more glamorous and elegant. You can put together your own bouquets or buy them pre-arranged at the grocery store.
Pro tip: If you don’t have a green thumb, you can buy high-quality faux flowers that look just as good as the real thing.
13. Use a luxurious fabric for your window treatments.
Window treatments are a must in a glamorous bedroom.
If you don’t want to use drapes, you can use shades, blinds, or shutters. However, if you can, you should definitely use drapes.
Drapes add a softness and elegance to the space that you can’t get with any other window treatment.
You can also use sheer panels to add privacy without blocking light.
The fabric you choose for your drapes is very important. You can use silk, velvet, or any other luxurious fabric.
If you don’t like the look of drapes, you can use a different window treatment and add a decorative valance at the top.
14. Add a few decorative boxes.
Decorative boxes are a great way to add a touch of glamour and personality to your bedroom.
Fill them with items you use every day, such as jewelry, perfume, or even your TV remote.
You can find decorative boxes in just about any style, so choose one that fits the overall look you’re going for.
I love the gold and marble ones in this bedroom – they’re so elegant and timeless!
15. Use a decorative tray to hold your perfume and jewelry.
A decorative tray is a must-have accessory for any Old Hollywood bedroom.
You can use it to hold your perfume, jewelry, or any other small items on your dresser or vanity.
The key to creating a glamorous look with a decorative tray is to choose one that has a beautiful design and is made of high-quality materials.
Gold, silver, and mirrored trays are popular choices for an Old Hollywood bedroom.
You can also use a decorative tray to corral items on your bedside table or to create a stunning display on your wall shelves.
16. Add a few candles.
One of the best ways to instantly set the mood in a room is to light a few candles.
I prefer the flameless kind because I can leave them on for hours without worrying about a fire hazard.
I also love that they come with a remote control so I can turn them on and off from bed.
17. Add a few decorative items to your nightstand.
The last thing you want to do is clutter your nightstand, but adding a few decorative items can really help to bring the look together.
I love the way these three nightstands are styled. A lamp, a plant and a decorative item are the perfect amount of decor for a nightstand.
18. Bring in a few decorative pillows.
If you don’t want to commit to a new color scheme or pattern, you can bring in a few decorative pillows to add a pop of interest to your bedding.
I love the look of a few velvet pillows mixed in with standard shams and a few decorative pillows in the front.
If you have a queen bed, I suggest using three Euro shams in the back, two standard shams in the middle, and three decorative pillows in the front.
If you have a king bed, use three Euro shams, three standard shams, and three decorative pillows.
19. Add a few decorative accessories to your vanity table.
If you have a vanity table in your bedroom, this is the perfect place to add a little more of that old Hollywood glamour.
Decorative accessories like a jewelry box, vintage-style perfume bottle, and a small vase of flowers make a big impact on your vanity table.
Be sure to keep the accessories on your vanity table to a minimum so that you have plenty of room to get ready.
20. Add a decorative throw pillow to your bed.
If you don’t want to go through the trouble of switching out your entire bedding set, consider adding a few decorative throw pillows to your bed instead.
This is a great way to add some glitz and glamour to your bed without spending a lot of money.
When it comes to choosing throw pillows, I like to stick to a color scheme of two to three colors. In this case, I chose a color scheme of gold, black, and white.
I also mixed in some different patterns and textures to add visual interest.
