Hollywood Regency Style Bedroom Ideas

Hollywood Regency style primary bedroom decor

The Spruce / Michelle Becker

It's a celebration of all things glitz and glamour―the Hollywood Regency decorating style came into being during the heyday of Hollywood’s larger-than-life movie stars in the 1930s. It’s not a look known for subtlety, nor is it for those who prefer simple or minimalistic rooms. Instead, it’s all about turning the space into a showpiece of luxury, style, and personality.

The Asian influence adds lots of style and interest, while the touches of metallic gold keep the glamour pumping.

    Decorator Simone Alisa shows off the power of metal in this glamorous bedroom. Notice that despite the all-eyes-here appeal of the oversize, silvery, tufted upholstered headboard, and the two mirrored dressers, the room is actually quite open and airy. Hollywood Regency is not a cluttered or fussy style; it just appreciates fine detail and the more expensive (or at least, expensive appearing) things in life.

    While Hollywood Regency isn't limited to any one palette, it's often either a study in rich neutrals or a simple black-and-white scheme. But feel free to liven up either with a dose of bright color, as in this bedroom from Lonny.com.

    You don't often see rustic touches in a Hollywood Regency bedroom, but here, the two looks work together quite beautifully. Admittedly, that's because the rustic accents are limited to the ceiling beams; more than that, and the expensive elegance and glamour of Hollywood style would be lost.
