Glam Up Your Drab Apartment In Hollywood Regency Style Without Draining Your Pocket
One can’t think of the words “glamour’ and “glamorous” without thinking of Hollywood, or of a younger Lauren Bacall in a white silk swing dress with the signature massive shoulder padding. This is probably due to the fact that no other place around the globe exists where so many fascinating people reside. Hollywood Regency style is all the rage among modern homeowners. Developed by actor-turned-interior-designer Billy Haines in the 1930s, this style had for its early adherents Joan Crawford, Gloria Swanson, Carole Lombard, Marion Davies, George Cukor, and the future Nancy Reagan who were smitten by Haines’ good taste and boldness in trying out the unthinkable, for instance, mixing period styles, a no-no then. Consider the following tips should you want to glam up your drab apartment in the Hollywood Regency style.
Step 1 Raid your grandma’s attic, especially if your grandma happens to live in the Hollywood area.
Keep your eyes peeled for anything that is of interest, like a candelabra in the ornate rococo style or a ceramic lamp shade with an ornate base. Do not look over smaller furnishings simply because of their size. You might not find a 118 B.C. For instance, exotic items can be re purposed for cabinet pulls, like a Chinese medallion or Wu-Chu'n coins. Don't pass up Grandma's sheer fabrics. They’re as valuable as any period piece and could be of use.
Step 2. If an item appears as if you have traveled halfway around the globe to buy it, then it is perfect.
But remember that your aim is to keep from overdoing while establishing a high level of glamour. Always. Bali, for instance, has incredible wood carvings that ooze elegance anywhere. The same is correct with a rough bench carved from Solid Wood or an Egyptian wood headrest that looks as if it was taken from an ancient tomb or throne room.
Step 3 Avoid imposing furniture.
Hollywood Regency trains the spotlight on people, not the furniture, so keep the furniture small and low-key. Under no circumstances should they begin to compete with guests for attention. Distinctly feminine curved legs, yes: large size, no.
Step 4 Eclectic is in, so you may mix period styles. Feel free to have your dining set in ornate rococo side-by-side with wall tapestries or beautiful trees wall art side-by-side real or faux bamboo poles. Similarly, feel free to have velvet window treatments, side by side chairs made from wicker, stained glass Tiffany lamps and tree wall art.
Step 5 Use lacquer liberally.
A wicker chair can be redone in lacquer. Apply lacquer to your Chippendale secretary. Use a lacquer finish on your Queen Anne dining set.
Step 6 Do at least one area in overly grand fashion.
Consider a large wall art or a floor-to-ceiling mural in gold Chinese characters against a mandarin red background.
