Vintage Glamcore: How to Create a Room That Feels Like Old Hollywood
If you’re someone who loves timeless elegance, shimmering details, and the allure of Old Hollywood, then the vintage glamcore aesthetic is the perfect style to bring into your home. Think of it as the love child of glitz, glamour, and nostalgia—a design that captures the magic of vintage Hollywood while embracing modern sophistication.
Whether you’re dreaming of channeling the classic beauty of a glamorous movie star or simply want to create a space filled with luxury and allure, here’s how to craft a room that feels like you’ve stepped into an old-school film set.
1. Start with a Bold Color Palette
Classic Black and White : To channel the iconic films of Old Hollywood, start with a bold foundation of black and white. These contrasting colors offer a timeless elegance and sophistication, mimicking the black-and-white films that made Hollywood so glamorous.
Rich Jewel Tones : Incorporate deep, luxurious colors like emerald green, sapphire blue, and ruby red. These jewel tones bring in the drama and depth that was so characteristic of vintage Hollywood décor.
Metallic Accents : Gold, silver, and bronze should be your go-to metallics. Think of the glamorous gowns and sparkling jewelry of movie stars, and bring those reflections into your space through accent pieces and finishes.

2. Add Luxurious Fabrics and Textures
Velvet Upholstery : Velvet exudes luxury and is a hallmark of vintage glamcore. Consider adding a velvet sofa or armchair in deep jewel tones or classic neutrals to create a rich, tactile experience.
Silk and Satin Drapes : No vintage glamcore room would be complete without drapery that flows like a red carpet. Think floor-to-ceiling silk or satin curtains in dramatic hues, which not only add elegance but also help create a glamorous atmosphere.
Luxe Rugs : A plush, high-pile rug or an intricate vintage-inspired rug can tie the room together, adding both warmth and sophistication. Opt for patterns like art deco or oriental for that added old-school flair.
Perfect for Self-Care : Whether you’re watching TV, reading, or meditating, a premium blanket enhances your self-care rituals, making them more relaxing and rejuvenating.

3. Incorporate Glamorous Furniture Pieces
Mirrored Furniture : Nothing says vintage glam like mirrored furniture. A mirrored coffee table, dresser, or side table reflects light and adds a level of opulence reminiscent of old Hollywood dressing rooms.
Art Deco Style : Look for furniture with geometric lines, sleek finishes, and bold designs that were popular during the art deco period of the 1920s and 1930s. A sleek art deco-inspired console table, bar cart, or chandelier can be the perfect addition to your glamcore room.
Curvy Silhouettes : Look for furniture pieces with soft, feminine curves and details, like a rounded-back sofa or a chaise lounge. These vintage-inspired shapes offer a graceful, elegant look that evokes the styles of classic movie stars.

4. Statement Lighting That Steals the Show
Chandeliers : A glamorous chandelier should be at the heart of your room. Choose one with crystal drops or metallic details that catch the light and create a sparkling effect, reminiscent of the dazzling lights of Hollywood.
Table Lamps with Glamour : Pair tall, elegant table lamps with decorative lampshades featuring luxurious materials like silk or satin. Crystal or marble bases will elevate the overall aesthetic.
Spotlighting : If you want to channel the “on set” lighting vibe, incorporate directional spotlights or vintage-style sconces on your walls to create dramatic shadows and warm, inviting glows.

5. Add Vintage Glamcore Art and Mirrors
Framed Movie Posters : Vintage movie posters or black-and-white prints of Hollywood legends can add a personal and nostalgic touch to your glamcore space. Frame them in gold or silver frames to enhance their vintage glamour.
Large Mirrors : Vintage-style mirrors, especially those with ornate, gilded frames, are essential in any vintage glamcore room. They not only help amplify a vintage space but reflect light in a way that adds depth and richness to the room.
Gold or Silver Frames : Add personality to the walls with artwork or photographs in luxe gold or silver frames. Black-and-white photography, particularly portraits of glamorous stars like Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Grace Kelly, will add that Old Hollywood charm.
