Keep reading to discover the best ideas on creating a glamorous living room that’ll make your home look elegant and luxurious.

Metal Elements

Metals are synonymous with luxury, especially shiny metals like chrome, silver, gold, copper, or stainless steel. You can go for one type or mix them together properly for a glamour living room feel.

You can incorporate metals in picture frames, lighting fixtures, decorations, fabrics, and even furniture. To soften the room, add some transparent elements made of glass or acrylic and keep the walls in neutral tones.

Large Mirrors

Mirrors give depth and dimension to any room, and the larger they are, the more luxurious they feel. Many glamorous living room ideas include full-length standing golded mirrors or ones with a chrome frame.

They also make the room look brighter and bigger by reflecting the natural light from the windows, and from all the sparkly, shiny surfaces. Wall mirrors are another great alternative if you want to accentuate an empty wall or add a touch of luxury to a wall between two windows.

Luxurious Fabrics

The fabrics you choose for your sofas, curtains, cushions, and rugs can add to the elegance and glam of the living room.

For sofas, choose velvet, damask, or high-thread-count cotton. For cushions and throws, metallic fabrics, silk, satin or faux fur will work best. Rugs can be faux sheepskin, faux Merino, or natural fibers. 

Crystal Chandeliers

One of the most prominent elements of glam living rooms is a crystal chandelier. This beautiful lighting fixture will illuminate the room and give it a royal, elegant feel.

Crystal chandeliers are often focal points of a room, so choose them carefully. They should complement the rest of the decor without being tacky or overbearing. If the room isn’t big enough for a large chandelier, install metal or gold finish wall lights and floor lamps.

Carefully Chosen Home Decor

If you’re going for a full glam look, carefully select your home decorations on display. If you travel often, choose the chicest souvenirs you’ve gotten on your trips. For example, from your cruises from Florida to south of the border, display a luxury item you bought on board.

Original artwork, unique flower vases, crystal decanters, candleholders, and glam table lamps can all give the room personality and style.
