What is glam interior design?
Glam interior design is what makes the most stunning glamorous homes shine.
It’s about paying attention to the smallest of details and putting carefully-selected furniture pieces in certain rooms, as well as giving your space the design TLC it truly deserves.
If you love all things interior design, then coming up with glam styles should come naturally.
But if you’re not that way inclined and it doesn’t come naturally to you, it’s perfectly fine because you have my top styling tips to refer to!
Oh, and just for the record, glam doesn’t have to mean unpractical. It’s possible to go glam without turning your home into a showroom; the smallest of glam tweaks is all it takes…
1. Glamorous living room tips
You can transform a standard living room into a glamourous living room, simply by putting a glam sofa in it.
We’re talking sofas with intricate detailing, such as studs and deep set buttons, elaborately rounded arms, angled legs and contemporary straight edges. I recommend opting for opulent shades such as silver, grey, pewter, and plush fabrics.
Try also adding mirrored surfaces where you’d least expect to see them. A candle tray, coasters for your cuppa or even a mirror-topped coffee table will add a touch of glamour to your living room.

2. Dining room
The most glamorous dining rooms are all about the centrepiece dining set, featuring polished surfaces, such as glass, metal and marble, and luxuriously-upholstered seating that’s designed for comfort and catches the eye.
Oh, and don’t forget the statement chairs and table legs!

3. Bedroom
Bedroom glam living is all about the finer details, which include decorative headboards, statement accent chairs, cushions, wall mirrors (in fact, any type of mirrors, e.g. floor-standing or mirrored doors) and textures galore!

4. Kitchen
Is it possible to inject some glam into your kitchen when you spend most of your time cooking and, if it’s also your dining room, eating in it? Absolutely, glam can easily slot into kitchens, large and small!
You may have the space to be able to put a statement sideboard in it, that can double up as valuable storage for your cutlery, table mats, bowls, plates and other kitchen-related bits and bobs.
Is your kitchen and dining room all-in-one? That’s ok, because it’s still possible to glam it up.
The quickest way to do it is by doing away with your trusty old dining suite and replacing it with a look-at-me dining set, like the Endurance Diamond Dining Set.
I love @maidstone_17's glam kitchen-dining area. The top of their table is a glamourous marble effect with brushed stainless steel legs, that really compliment the colour of the kitchen units and hardware.

How do I add glam to my house?
Now that you’ve read my top tips, I hope you’ve realised that glamming up your home sounds a lot scarier than it actually is.
Just remember to stick to colours, such as beige, cream, light grey, silver and gold, incorporate lots of mirrored, polished and high gloss finishes (e.g. glass, marble, metal), keep an eye out for detailing (studs are a real winner) and don’t forget about those statement legs either – which apply to sofas, chairs and dining sets!
