A touch of gold can really bring up the glam factor in a room!
This little gold table was a thrift-store find that I picked up the other afternoon. The treasures that can be found at second-hand shops here in Berlin really get me excited! I’ve thought about bringing a little bit of glam into the bedroom for some time now, and an eye-catching gold table seemed to do the job perfectly. I think this piece is quite unique – the top is removable and can be used as a serving tray. How perfect for the bedroom?! The glass has a smoky lavender tint to it that makes it feel even more special.
Before swapping out the table, our bedroom had a much more minimalistic Scandinavian vibe. It’s amazing how a few simples changes can make such a huge difference – but I suppose gold will have that impact! If you’re going for a simple yet glam look, the tips below will help you create one.
– 5 Ways to Make a Space Feel Glam –
1. Metallic Accessories
If glam is what you’re going for, then your best bet is to start with some metallic finishes. Be careful to not overdo it! Too much gold or silver in a space can make it feel gaudy. Be selective and pick something that you truly love. Small accent furniture, lamps, candle holders, trays, and picture frames are all great objects for adding a pop of metallic.
2. Glass & Mirrors
Reflective surfaces brighten up a space, bounce light, and help create that dazzling glam factor. Mirrors, flower vases, and delicate dishes are lovely ways to bring glass into a room and create an expensive feel.
3. Candles & Flowers
Candles and flowers are subtle and romantic details that also make a space feel glam. Both of these are very inexpensive too! Sure – you’ll have to replace them once they’ve burned down or died. But the shelf life on these items forces you to refresh your interior regularly which I believe helps you feel more connected to the space (click here to read my thoughts on the concept of refreshing your space).
4. Plush Textiles
Plush finishes do a whole lot to create that glam factor. Furry sheep-skin throws, velvet pillow cases, and thick knitted blankes are all great accents to create a cozy and glam interior.
5. Clean & Uncluttered
There’s nothing glam about clutter. If you truly want to create a refined and polished interior, you need to start with a fresh and clutter free space! Get rid of your junk and organize the rest! Free yourself from anything that’s not aiding in your mission.
