Inspired by old Hollywood and the stars' lavish estates, glam design looks and feels refined, upscale, and luxurious. Interested in learning more about glam bedroom ideas? The most important element of glam design is the combination of metallics, neutrals, and accent colors. Beyond that, the style possibilities are endless. Keep reading below to see a few of our favorite glam bedroom ideas.

1. Choose a Soft, Romantic Bed Frame

Glam bedroom ideas start with the bed – it should be the centerpiece of the room. Choose a headboard that is tufted with linen or velvet upholstery to create a romantic escape in your home. We lean toward sleigh beds because of their unique sculptural lines and detailing. The close attention to detail in glam furniture is exactly what makes it feel so indulgent.

2. Create Luxurious Layers

At the end of the day, it's important to create a luxurious space where you can relax and unwind. Start by choosing sheets with a high thread count and layer a duvet and coverlet on top. Opt for white, cream, gray, and subtle pastels as your base. Place a few patterned throws in a glamorous velvet or faux fur on top to break up the neutrals. Be sure to check the care instructions on your duvet cover before purchasing, so you'll know if it can be machine-washed or if it will require dry-cleaning.

3. Add Reflective Elements

Incorporating light-catching materials like metallics, marble, crystal, glass, and lacquer are the perfect way to make a chic statement in a glam bedroom. The sheen of these materials creates a layer of depth when intermixed with cozy bedding and soft furs. Glam bedroom ideas wouldn't be complete without an element of gold or brass. The cool-toned marbling of this nightstand looks just right with the warm-toned gold frame. Consider how much storage you'll need in a nightstand before selecting one, so you'll have room for your current book, hand cream, and other bedtime essentials.

4. Opt for Dramatic Lighting

Looking at lighting options for a glam bedroom? It's the perfect time to pick out something that feels indulgent. A glam chandelier can bring a lot of drama, particularly one with crystals or gold detailing. Place the chandelier in the middle of your bedroom for maximum exposure. If you have nightstands on both sides of the bed, consider hanging pendant lighting or wall sconces above them for even more drama and beauty. Lights with dimmers are the best choice for bedside lighting, as you can dial the brightness up or down depending on your mood.

Pro Tip:

Always leave at least 7' of clearance below a chandelier and at least 30" – 36" of space between a nightstand and a pendant so that you can easily move around the room.

5. Consider a Bedroom Bench

A bedroom bench or twin accent stools can do more than just add an element of style – they also create a convenient space to sit and put on your slippers or set down a tray of morning lattes. Choose tufted linen or velvet and drape a faux fur or chunky-knit blanket over the bench to add an extra layer of comfort. We love nailhead trim options too, because they add the surprise element of metallic into an otherwise soft and luxurious piece.

6. Adorn the Walls

Our favorite part of browsing glam bedroom ideas is being inspired by all of the ways you can decorate the walls and windows. Black, white, and neutral-toned art creates a stylish and chic backdrop for a glam bedroom. Choose gold or brass frames for art and prints – the metals will make anything neutral pop. Consider adding a mirror among your wall art to give your gallery just the right amount of reflection and shine.

7. Include Dramatic Decor

Glam design doesn't have to be all creams and neutrals. If a bedroom layered with dramatic jewel tones or shades of gray sounds more like your idea of a glamorous oasis, you're in luck. Consider dark walls and high-impact accent colors. We love the attention to detail in this glam bedroom via the reflective stones above the fireplace, the amethyst geode set atop the coffee table books, and the faux plants.

8. Finish With Plush Details

A glam bedroom isn't complete without a few final plush touches. Roll out a silk or microfiber rug underneath the bed. Silk and microfiber are two of the most luxurious materials to choose for an area rug. Because of their handmade design, no two are alike. We prefer to place the rug underneath two-thirds of the bed while keeping the top one-third free. You can even layer a plush sheepskin rug over the area rug for one more layer of coziness.
