Use Mirrors

Mirrors can reflect light and make the room brighter, so they come in handy for creating an illusion of a bigger space. Plus, they happen to be ultra-glam. Whether you choose to hang mirrors above your bedside tables (and allow them to act as pseudo windows) or bring in an oversized, full-length mirror to lean against the wall, you can never have too many reflective surfaces in a glam bedroom.

Don't Be Afraid of Animal Print

Yes, you can tastefully decorate with animal print and if there's one place to try it, it's in a glamorous bedroom. Choose a bold, graphic print or something more muted and subtle—either way, the recognizable pattern will instantly add excitement and refinement to the room.

Make it Monochrome

For the most luxe look, Shaffer suggests remaining committed to a neutral color palette to keep things serene. Some examples of this are layering beiges and grays that share a similar warm or cool undertone and color family.

Pull in Different Patterns

Thoughtfully playing with patterns is another way to add a bit of glamour to your bedroom. You can do this with your bedding, wall coverings, rug, and more. Amber Dunford, style director at Overstock.com, says, “Give your glam bedroom luxe appeal with faux fur throws draped over sofas, chairs, and beds. Soft and luxurious, faux fur plays on tactile senses to encourage relaxation and inspire comfort.”

Create an Accent Wall

An ornate accent wallpaper provides dimension and creates a major focal point. Here, designer Amy Leferink of Interior Impressions tells us, "The ivory and gray color palette in this bedroom just exudes understated glamour. It allows the bedroom to remain clean and simple, but small details like the texture on the wallpaper and the gold hardware accents throughout add extra depth to the room that helps it stand out."

Bring in Silver Accents

Even the simplest metallic accent looks extravagant and expensive, as proven by the silver legs on this bedroom bench. Per Dunford, "Decorative accents in gold or silver add a rich, opulent touch to the design. Warm, yellow gold is the perfect contrast to neutral furniture, while bright silver highlights the room with a subtle luster. Add some throw pillows with gold or silver accents to the bed to set the mood for your glam look.”

Embrace Lacquer

Shiny lacquer finishes are elevated by nature. They feel rich and elegant, especially in darker woods like mahogany. In a glam bedroom, embrace lacquer on walls, floors, and cabinets.

Upgrade Your Bedside Lighting

Swap out your boring bedside table lamps for mini glittering chandeliers on either side of the bed frame. Not only does this conserve your precious nightstand space, but it's a classy way to make the room feel a little more luxe. And don't forget the flowers. Marco Bizzley, Certified Interior Designer tells, "You can simply add a vase with artificial roses, sunflowers, or whichever ones you prefer, to bring some instant (and inexpensive) glam to your bedroom.

Keep It Calm

Glamorous style can be understated, too. Try out a textured fabric wall covering in a neutral shade and keep the rest of the color palette muted for a look that feels expensive. We love the way the light fixture adds a pop of color to this calming space.

Look for Luxe Metallic Finishes

We have a secret for you: it's okay to mix metals when decorating. Glam style is defined by the use of luxe metal finishes, so if you really want to go all out, try multiple colors together. Here, silver nightstands and bedside table lamps compliment the gold mirror and chandelier. Crystal accents to really make the room sparkle.

Bring in Lots of Jewel Tones

Vibrant yet sumptuous, jewel tones impart an unmatched richness to a space.

Balance the deep, moody hues with shiny metallics and more neutral walls.

Hang Drapes High

"Scale is equally important for glam spaces," explains Shaffer. "One of my all-time favorite ways to volumize a room is to go as high as possible with curtains and drapery rods," he tells us. "Immediately, everything lifts in the room when draperies and window treatments soar from floor to ceiling."
