Colour Scheme
The glamour trend doesn’t have to be rich or heavy, instead opt for a palette of warm-toned soft pastels. Think touches of pretty lilacs, lavender and heather offset with creamy hues. Choose an elegant print such as the Henrietta, featuring a beautiful curlicue floral design. An understated print, why not create a period look and paint a light toned shade such as Pale Sable below the dado rail for a polished finish?
Add drama to your windows and dress them with sweeping curtains in a rich tonal shade, then to create that soft and airy feel layer voile curtains underneath.
Bedding
This style is all about luxury and a well-dressed bed will certainly achieve this. Opt for bedding that is of high quality and complements the overall aesthetic of the room. Sleep in the lap of luxury and combine textures, layering on sumptuously soft quilts, silken and velvet cushions like the Nigella.
The focal point of the room, nothing exudes glamour like a large king-size bed. Setting the tone for rest of the decor, complete the look with an elaborate headboard or a plush blanket box like the elegant Clifton placed at the foot of the bed for added comfort (and ideal for preventing clutter).

Lighting
Lighting is everything when it comes to achieving a glamourous look. Make a grand statement with an effortlessly sophisticated chandelier. Available in a number of timeless designs, choose one that complements the size of the room such as the Shamley Gold Compact Chandelier. For low-level lighting, create a soft glow with elegant table lamps such as the Corinthian Antique Brass Lamp with a complementary shade.
Furniture
Antique styles reminiscent of traditional French styling like the Provencale range will suit the trend perfectly. With beautiful and intricate mouldings, each piece retains its own individual character with visible hand brushed strokes. Choose an oak or ivory finish to ensure a light and airy feel to the room.

Accessories
A finishing touch to complete the look, accessories should complement not clutter. Silver and glass accents add instant glamour, especially the beautiful Decorative Mirror Tray and the pretty Ridged Glass Jars. Mirrors are a fabulous way to not only make the room feel brighter but also add understated elegance. If you have wooden flooring, a deep pile rug in a richer hue will bring an extra layer of added comfort and indulgence.
