Get the Look: Vintage Glam!

By Darlings Of Chelsea

For a room with big, bold, glamorous appeal, you can’t go wrong with Vintage Glam. It’s full of opulent detailing, luxurious furnishings and sumptuous fabrics and upholstery. There’s also a somewhat theatrical nature to it as it pulls elements from classic design eras and looks such as Victorian, Gothic and Old Hollywood.

It’s also got a feeling of bohemia about it, being a touch more ‘rock ‘n’ roll’ than some other areas of Glam design. Mix in retro pieces with metallics – particularly gold and silver – and luscious items such as crushed velvet chairs and sheepskin rugs. Check out our mood board for inspiration:

Our range includes so many great pieces that would look stunning in a Vintage Glam space, starting with our Bedgebury sofa, upholstered in chic velvet. Pair it with items such as our Townhouse Drinks Trolley, the Palmer Coffee Table and Console Table, alongside a black and white rug such as our Freddie Rug and some animal print and traditional print cushions. Finish the look with an art deco lamp like our Yves Antique Brass Table Lamp and a few metallic decorative accessories. You could also use a Baroque style mirror, mix in a few mid-century modern pieces such as the Platner chair, and perhaps some wallpaper – there’s a great selection in the Wallpaper From the 70s ‘Glamourous Wallpaper’ collection.
