Hollywood Regency. Where to shop this style.
Researching styles is what I love to do most as it helps me really get a grasp or feel for a style.
I tell you, if I researched cleaning my house I would be a gun Domestic Goddess but its just not my passion. So instead I am a gun style researcher and collector of ideas on how to recreate a look for clients and friends. Guess that’s why I call myself an Interior Stylist right!
Let me tell you a little about Hollywood Regency and what products you can buy to create the look.
The style originated around the 1930’s.
The look came from the Opulent and Highly Theatrical film sets of the time.
William Haines an Actor turned Interior Designer with fabulous experience of elaborate film sets combined Neo Classical, Modernism and My fave….Chinoiserie to create the look.
William and Dorothy Draper were considered the first real Interior Decorators with their over scaled, overly bright colours and overly fabulous pieces. With these basics they created the foundation for a style that has stood the test of fabulous time……
Dar-links, here are my tips for recreating the look in your fabulous homes.
This Chandelier is perfect to add to this look and you can find it at Life Interiors
along with many other beautiful home decor products for Interior Design and Styling.
My Favourite room image on the net for Hollywood Regency is this one. It speaks to me, although the front cushion is perfect to impart to us the era visually but its not the perfect cushion for the room.
This rug will help you start your look. Always try and start styling from the ground up.
You will find this rug here at Overstock
I love the simple Black and white with strong colour bounce.
I know many people call these colour placements as “Pops” of colour.
For me I like to call them colour bounces.
Its important on decorating and styling to “bounce” the colour around the room.
So let me help you all leave “pops” behind and lets all
“bounce”
Sounds like a Zumba class doesn’t it.
This is the perfect throw for our look and you can buy it at Adorn Homewares
Statement pieces to create theatre, oversized and overly fabulous.
If you don’t have space for an oversized Statement piece, a smaller but perfectly styled statement piece will still make a small space punchy.
You can find this beauty and many others at Ada and Darcy
All Hollywood Regency needs a bounce of gold around the room to really encourage opulence.
Even if its only a small amount.
You can incorporate your bold accent colours and the gold opulence with a table lamp like this one from Overstock
My my, this room is simple but indulgent.
1 x Oversized brightly coloured chair with eclectically perfect oversized artwork and scatter a few perfectly placed homewares items as space fillers.
My absolutely favourite decor piece found on this Hollywood Regency style research journey is this Zig Zag Bowl from
If you don’t I will.
……and for those of you who love the style and just want to dip your toe in for a little while first I encourage you to hang a print to inspire you. This slice of gorgeousness can be found here.
Happy Fabulous Hollywood Monday Dar-links.
