I'm about to move into my first home (it's just an apartment, but it's MINE!) and I have become obsessed with Hollywood Regency style interior decor.. It's so glam and dreamy :)
If you haven't heard of this style then think of 30s-70s Hollywood movies... Bold geometric shapes, crystal chandeliers, Baroque mirrors, lush fabrics, statement wallpaper, with a bit of minimalist, chrome and beautiful damask drapes mixed in for good measure....
I think Cailen Ascher put it well when she described it as:
"Hollywood Regency is a style that developed in the 1930s and 40s - think Humphrey Bogart and Joan Crawford - very chic and utterly sophisticated. This style beckons for glamour, luxury, and all things that sparkle. What made this trend so massively appealing was not one overarching theme or color but a conscious dedication to details - the sheen of a fabric, the decorative fringe on a pillow, the delicate crystals on a chandelier, and the personalization and flexibility it allowed to suit each individual's needs and sense of style.
"To give you a sense of what it generally entails, envision lacquered furniture and sumptuous fabrics. Metallic finishes and mirrors add a touch of elegance and class, while soft velvets, delicate silks, and sensuous satins appeal to one's sense of opulence. These all set the backdrop for Hollywood Regency. Though this style developed in a bygone era, it's completely adaptable to modern sensibilities, for the innate essence of the style is rooted in elevating the home to a haven."
I think I particularly like the way the palette often consists of black, white and silver, broken up by many textures and maybe one other colour as an accent.
Now I just have to start saving!
