STYLE: CLASSIC GLAM

As typified by the estates of Hollywood's Golden Era and such renowned designers as Billy Haines and Dorothy Draper, colors tend to be bold using different hues as turquoise, yellow, blue, and green, and of course, black and white. Components include patterns, metallic, lucite, brass, bamboo, and mirrors. Think Tinsel Town while adoring the regency of the 1920's.

Abstract artwork and chandeliers, in particular, crystal used focal points capture the eye and reflect light. Create luxurious interiors utilizing marble and gold. Create a richness with a hint of surprise by adding elegance to floors, countertops, or accent pieces such as vases and decorative trays.

Bold patterns modernize Classic Glam by incorporating animal prints and geometric patterns. Silk, velvet, and faux fur draped on sofas and tufted chairs become vital in creating this much cherished look. Baroque style beds and ornate dressers are not only indulgent but remind one of the glitz of the Gilded Age and when big studios ran the world.

If you adore glitz and glamours and wish to convey luxury, this opulent look meets your needs. Remember to wear your silk pajamas and sip that martini.
