If there's one fabric in particular that screams "glam," it's velvet. So why not add some allure to your bedspread by opting for the soft, smooth, and subtly shiny material? For added drama, pick a duvet and matching shams in a luscious jewel tone.

03 Use Mirrors

Mirrors can reflect light and make the room brighter, so they come in handy for creating an illusion of a bigger space. Plus, they happen to be ultra-glam. Whether you choose to hang mirrors above your bedside tables (and allow them to act as pseudo windows) or bring in an oversized, full-length mirror to lean against the wall, you can never have too many reflective surfaces in a glam bedroom.

04 Don't Be Afraid of Animal Print

Yes, you can tastefully decorate with animal print and if there's one place to try it, it's in a glamorous bedroom. Choose a bold, graphic print or something more muted and subtle—either way, the recognizable pattern will instantly add excitement and refinement to the room.

05 Bring in Silver Accents

Even the simplest metallic accent looks extravagant and expensive, as proven by the silver legs on this bedroom bench. Per Dunford, "Decorative accents in gold or silver add a rich, opulent touch to the design. Warm, yellow gold is the perfect contrast to neutral furniture, while bright silver highlights the room with a subtle luster. Add some throw pillows with gold or silver accents to the bed to set the mood for your glam look.”

06 Get Creative

Large bedrooms are perfect for pulling off the glamorous aesthetic, and if you're lucky enough to have a seating area in your room, the extra space allows for pulling in those unexpected touches. Whether it's a tufted ottoman, cool metallic pillows, or a glitzy, detailed chair, use this space wisely to add prestige to your bedroom.

08 Upgrade Your Bedside Lighting

Swap out your boring bedside table lamps for mini glittering chandeliers on either side of the bed frame. Not only does this conserve your precious nightstand space, but it's a classy way to make the room feel a little more luxe. And don't forget the flowers. 

09 Bring in Lots of Jewel Tones

Vibrant yet sumptuous, jewel tones impart an unmatched richness to a space. Complete your glam bedroom by layering in jewel tones (such as sapphire, amethyst, and ruby) with soft goods like bedding and pillows. You can match your furniture, too. Balance the deep, moody hues with shiny metallics and more neutral walls.

10 Hang Drapes Hig

"Scale is equally important for glam spaces," explains Shaffer. "One of my all-time favorite ways to volumize a room is to go as high as possible with curtains and drapery rods," he tells us. "Immediately, everything lifts in the room when draperies and window treatments soar from floor to ceiling."
