7 Tips to Create the Glamor of Hollywood Regency Style

Now that we are ready to add some glamor to our minimalistic surroundings, the polished charm of the Hollywood Regency style is just what we need.

Hollywood Regency began in the Golden Age of Hollywood in the 1930’s when movie goers thrilled to extravagant interiors on the silver screen. Today’s updated Regency designs feature the maximalism that is a growing trend in contemporary home design while blending with more contemporary tastes. Even a few well-chosen Regency pieces can add Hollywood glam to your home.

Here are some tips for incorporating the modern Regency look, even if your furniture features straight lines and neutral colors.

Embrace Maximalism

While minimalistic contemporary furniture is still in style, modern tastes are veering toward over the top maximalism. You can create the glamor of luxurious comfort with layered design elements. Add accents and textures with throw blankets and throw pillows in faux fur, velvet and silk to give your home an opulent look.

Integrate Mirrored Furniture

Whether you incorporate a full mirrored bedroom set or a stunning accent piece, adding mirrored furniture to your home décor will give you instant Regency glamor. The stunning console table pictured above is perfect for the entryway, against a living room wall or behind a sofa in the great room.

Add Curves

Curvy furniture can make a big difference in a living room filled with the straight lines of contemporary designs. Invoke the Hollywood era of old school grace and elegance with a striking upholstered sofa featuring curved lines, skirted pieces and low slipper chairs.

Use Color and Pattern

Regency style is highlighted by vibrant colors along with contrasting patterns for an attention-grabbing look. Emerald green, yellows and turquoise are trending as accents, if you are not ready to paint the entire room. Decorators mix Hollywood Regency style colors and patterns with neutrals to balance retro glamor with modern scaled back luxe.

Light Up the Night

If you have always harbored a secret desire to own a crystal chandelier, now is the time. Stunning Regency lighting choices like opulent crystal chandeliers and vintage look wall sconces give your home the kind of lighting that can make you feel like a movie star.

Embrace your Inner Animal

When it comes to rugs, faux animal rugs like leopard prints bring your décor to the max. Continue the animal print theme with upholstery and textiles to add layers of Regency style to your home.

Accessorize Like Crazy

When you want to add a touch of Regency glamor, don’t skimp on accessories. Lacquered vases, beautifully designed credenzas and other accent furniture can give you the Hollywood style you are looking for.
