There are so many ways to decorate a bedroom. From modern and contemporary to classic and cozy, there’s a style to meet every design aesthetic, budget, and size. But for those who love a flair for the dramatic, a glam bedroom is your ticket to a luxurious, upscale retreat. 

Glam bedrooms are defined by an element of sophistication. Think mirrored accents, plush tufted headboards, fluffy rugs, and silky sheets that give your room a hotel-like feel. There’s no shortage of glitz here, just the right amount of extra. If you’re looking to add some glamour to your bedroom, you’ve come to the right place. We curated 10 inspirational glam bedroom ideas—plus tips from interior design experts—to provide your room with maximum sophistication and ambiance.

01 Hang a Stunning Chandelier

Make a statement in your bedroom with glamorous lighting. Look for floor lamps that give off strong illumination. According to Chris Alexakis, an interior designer and co-founder of Cabinet Select, these can be hanging from the ceiling or even stand alone on a table if you prefer to conserve space.

02 Add Vintage Molding

Something about a room with thoughtful, intricate molding makes it feel expensive. Get the European look by adding floor-to-ceiling molding to one or all of the walls in your bedroom.

03 Layer In Tons of Texture

"From wallpaper with metallics to high pile carpets, it's most important to be daring with layering fabrics and finishes," says Devin Shaffer, lead interior designer at Decorilla, on how to create a glam bedroom. Here, plush, tactile fabrics like velvet and shag provide layers of texture that feel inviting yet beautifully upscale.

04 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.

05 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.

06 Make it Monochrome

For the most luxe look, Shaffer suggests remaining committed to a neutral color palette to keep things serene. Some examples of this are layering beiges and grays that share a similar warm or cool undertone and color family.  

07 Pull in Different Patterns

Thoughtfully playing with patterns is another way to add a bit of glamour to your bedroom. You can do this with your bedding, wall coverings, rug, and more. Amber Dunford, style director at Overstock.com, says, “Give your glam bedroom luxe appeal with faux fur throws draped over sofas, chairs, and beds. Soft and luxurious, faux fur plays on tactile senses to encourage relaxation and inspire comfort.”

08 Select Satin

Satin fabric has that shiny, light-reflective finish that is undeniably glamorous. Lean into the look with a satin headboard, satin bedding, and matching metallic nightstands with a stain sheen. The result is a bedroom that's fit for royalty.

09 Hang Drapes High

"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." 

10 Be Bold

There's no right or wrong way to execute glam design so why not be bold and select a moody palette that feels refined and a little majestic? Here, a textured black wallpaper beautifully complements the eggplant velvet headboard, while minimal, black and white bedding keeps the room looking sleek.
