Giving your bedroom a glamorous makeover

Dreaming of a sleeping space with wow-factor? Look no further than the glam style that celebrates extravagance and excess while remaining elegant. Discover the secret to giving your bedroom a glamorous makeover, from lighting and fabrics to luxury bedroom furniture.

Indulgent furniture

Treat yourself to new pieces of indulgent furniture that simultaneously enhance your lifestyle and are effortlessly eye-catching.

Elevate your bedroom by updating the focal point of your space, the bed. A dramatic headboard in a luxurious fabric such as silk or velvet would work well, or you could even upgrade to a lavish four-poster bed with an accompanying canopy.

Functional yet stylish, a new wardrobe can breathe life into your bedroom. Bespoke walk-in wardrobes like the ones available at Hammonds ooze luxury and sophistication and will provide you with the perfect space to hang and sort your belongings.

Statement lighting

Make your bedroom shine (literally!) by opting for statement lighting. A dramatic bedroom chandelier would make the perfect addition as your main overhead light. Traditional chandeliers made from glass or crystal scream opulence, or for a more modernist twist, you could opt for one made from natural materials such as wood or metal.

Fixing spotlights along the floor or placing them above pictures and mirrors will help to draw attention to different points around the room. You could also consider adding additional, free-standing lamps in extravagant designs to create a sense of grandeur.

Mirrors and metals

Add that all-important glamourous sparkle and shine by incorporating mirrors and metals.

Cool metallics such as silver and steel tie in best with a modern, sophisticated aesthetic. If you are looking for glam bedroom ideas to bring a sense of old-world glamour, choose accessories and fixtures in warmer tones such as gold and bronze. For added depth, think about complementary finishes, such as polished, brushed or embossed materials.

The inclusion of an illuminated mirror would add a touch of class and can also act as a centrepiece in your bedroom. This would work especially well above a grand dressing table. A statement mirror will also make the space seem bigger and brighter.

Plush fabrics

A glamorous interior wouldn't be complete without the addition of plush fabrics.

For added shine, you could choose silk or satin for your bedding or cushion covers. In contrast, luxurious fabrics such as soft velvet curtains or wool blankets would bring added warmth, especially in deep colours such as burnt orange or mahogany.

To keep on brand with the glamorous aesthetic, you need to focus on quality, not quantity. Invest in standout pieces that will tie the space together perfectly. A deep pile or sheepskin rug that feels luxurious underfoot, or soft, quilted throws placed at the foot of your bed would work well.

Upgrade your colour scheme

When it comes to choosing your colour palette, certain colours lend themselves to glamorous designs which demand impact. However, finding the right shade depends on your intended mood for the space.

Rich red dues such as ruby or burgundy would bring added warmth and a hint of romance, while jewel colours such as emerald and sapphire can evoke a sense of calm and mystery. If you want to nail timeless sophistication, you could go bold with a classic monochrome colour scheme.
