Hollywood Regency

Okay, so imagine if your living room dressed up for a black-tie event but still wanted to dance barefoot by midnight. That’s Hollywood Regency. It’s maximalism with a stylist. It’s luxe without being stuffy. Basically, it’s what happens when elegance and fun have a baby—and that baby is wearing a silk turban.

This style came out of the golden age of Hollywood—when movie stars were movie stars, and their homes needed to look like you could film a musical number in them at any moment. It’s unapologetically glamorous, loves attention and isn’t afraid to go bold.

We’re talking high contrast everything: black and white floors, deep navy walls with crisp white trim, mirrors on mirrors on mirrors. Reflective surfaces are a big deal here. The more your room sparkles in the light, the better. If it doesn’t glint, does it even belong?

Materials? Go plush. Velvet, lacquer, silk, faux fur. Gold and chrome show up like they own the place (because they kind of do). Lucite is welcome. So is anything that could pass for a vintage perfume bottle.

Furniture has curves. Think: scalloped edges, tufted backs, bold silhouettes. Nothing shy, nothing meek. And color? It’s either classic and monochrome or wild and rich. Emerald green, hot pink, sapphire blue—all fair game, especially when paired with high-gloss black or bright white.

And the accessories? Drama. Think oversized lamps, giant statement art, Greek busts, fringe, animal print, crystal trays holding three perfectly arranged lipstick tubes. More is more—but make it intentional.

Hollywood Regency is the moment. It doesn’t whisper. It struts. If minimalism is a yoga retreat, Hollywood Regency is a champagne-fueled afterparty with Edith Head and a Great Dane named Valentino.

So if you’ve ever looked at your room and thought, “What if this had just a little more sparkle?”—go ahead and toss on a feathered robe and start decorating. The spotlight’s already waiting.
