Why Are Glam Bedrooms Popular?
Glam Bedroom Vs. Rustic Bedroom
Your bedroom should serve as a haven for relaxation as well as an expression of your individuality. So, if you're having trouble remodeling your bedroom, give a glam interior design for your opulent and sassy tastes some thought. This design is a regal style that dates back to the time of Gone with the Wind and Marilyn Monroe. It combines aspects from the 1930s, retro glam, and mid-century design trends to provide a distinctive look all its own.
Glam bedrooms feature luxurious metal finishes and plush fabrics. The furniture is typically metallic or lacquered. Fabrics used in glam bedrooms are thick and made of soft materials like velvet, faux fur, and silk. Standard paint colors in a glam bedroom are deep tones like sapphire blue and emerald green. It is also common to paint the ceiling a contrasting color. Glam bedrooms feature bold decor accents like tall, thick drapery and prominent crown molding. Lighting fixtures are usually significant and impactful, like crystal chandeliers.
To take your bedroom into the glam stratosphere, our Great American Home Store design professionals have selected some of their favorite glam bedroom furniture and accents!

This interior design mixes several elements to get its iconic Golden era Hollywood aesthetic. Here are six of those essentials to give your bedroom its glitz and glam design.
- Metal. It is common to combine different types of metallic finishes in glam bedrooms. For example, you can select a gold light fixture and silver furniture to create a blended metallic design.
- Jewel tones. Deep colors are essential to achieving a glam design aesthetic. Black, gray, and white are base tones. Typical contrasting tones are usually gem-like such as dark green, vibrant blue, and deep pinks.
- Heavy textiles. Thick fabrics appear more luxurious than wispy ones like cotton or organza. Glam bedrooms typically have tall, floor-to-ceiling drapery from rich materials like wool, velvet, or brocade. In addition, bedding textiles are soft, like silk, faux fur, satin, or wool.
- Strong black. Black is a foundation color in glam bedroom designs. Deep tones accent jewel tones and metallics well. Black can be introduced as a paint, drapery, or home accent element.
- Extravagant details. Sleigh beds and carved elements elevate glam bedrooms. Common characteristics of glam bedroom furniture are beautiful, feminine patterns with curved lines.
- Art deco. The glam design style is inspired by the Art Deco movement that originated in the 1920s. It combines vintage and antique aspects with contemporary finishes. Think of art pieces like Autoportrait (Tamara in a Green Bugatti) by Tamara De Lempicka or Normandie by Cassandre.
What is a Glam Bedroom Set?
Glam bedroom sets usually include several pieces, including:
- Sleigh bed or oversized, upholstered headboard
- Ornate bench seating
- Large combination dressers with lots of storage
- 3-Drawer nightstands with metal hardware
Glam bedroom furniture can be compiled separately or purchased as a set. However, the standard features of the furniture are its oversized shape and carved or ornate details. Glam furniture is big and usually well-made. The primary color of the furniture is typically neutral, like white, cream, gray, or black.
There are several advantages to purchasing bedroom furniture as a set. The primary benefit is that the individual pieces are guaranteed to match. Buying bedroom furniture as a package is also less expensive than individually. Buying a glam bedroom set based on neutral colors makes buying accent home decor in strongly contrasting colors possible.

Glam Bedroom Vs. Rustic Bedroom
Perhaps the opposite design of a glam bedroom it's a rustic bedroom. Glam bedrooms have sleek, glitzy furniture and plush textiles that look high-end. In comparison, rustic bedrooms feature natural finishes like wood tones and stone. Also, while the bedding and accessories focus on comfort, like in glam bedrooms, rustic bedrooms have more handmade textiles, like knitted and woven blankets.
Rustic bedrooms focus on simplicity and evoke feelings of calm and peace. In contrast, glam bedrooms are usually full of accessories and contrasting materials that always give the eye somewhere new to look at. They are almost the opposite of superficial, using the highest-end finishes and materials. Glam bedrooms are comfortable and welcoming but also lavish. They are designed to spoil the homeowner with the best products possible, whereas rustic bedrooms are meant to bring a sense of peace that connects back to nature. Simply put, nature differentiates rustic and glam bedrooms from man-made luxury.
