Glamorous interior design maximizes homes’ sophistication, comfort and livability. Fashionable upgrades are worth their cost as they appeal to residents, guests and future buyers searching for homes.

Here are five ways to incorporate the desirable luxe look.

1. Color

Classic glamour pairs neutral tones with trending metallic accents such as silver and bronze. For a regal look, choose warm colors such as navy blue and maroon combined with gold accents.

2. Lighting

Install light dimmers and globe bulbs for soft, subtle lighting. A ceiling chandelier is the perfect addition for a glamorous, vintage look. Less dramatic styles should opt for ornate lamps.

3. Mirrors

Mirrors make spaces appear large and luxurious. Add a trending starburst wall mirror in the bedroom and a functional mirrored side table in the living room.

4. Accessories

Add Lucite trays and chrome coasters in the dining room, and metallic canisters or fruit bowls in the kitchen. Create romantic-glam style in the master suite with brass candelabras on nightstands and glass tumbler tea light candles in the bathroom.

5. Luxurious Fabrics

Mix fabrics and textures such as silk, velvet and leather throughout living spaces. Introduce various fabrics with cushions, window treatments and accessories. Keep these accessories similar in hues to complement the overall palette of the room.
