15 Glam Living Room Ideas You’ll Love!
1. Incorporate New And Old Pieces
One of the easiest ways to make your living room glamorous is to incorporate elements of both new and old furniture, decorative pieces and more.
For example, if you happen to have an old fireplace in your living room that has been there since it was built – you could opt to leave this in your living room and elevate it with a variety of trendy touches that align with the goal of glamor while also ensuring that your space isn’t outdated.
Along with this, by leaving in older elements of the living space, you will be able to capture the natural character of your living room while simultaneously elevating your space with a glamorous charm.
This is also a great way to transform your living room on a budget, too!
2. Don’t Shy Away From Color
Believe it or not, glamorous living rooms don’t need to feature exclusively neutral color palettes.
In fact, bold colors can quite often provide a more playful take on timeless glamor that will help to add ambience and charm to your living room – while still ensuring that your living room has a glam edge.
Why don’t you consider incorporating a bold feature wall?
3. Add A Statement Light
Here’s another fabulous way to elevate your living room with a touch of timeless elegance. A statement light (such as a chandelier) will be able to instantly give your living room a touch of glamor without doing too much at all.
In fact, just the mere addition of a statement light will be able to instantly enhance your living room, all the while providing a central focus for both yourself and your guests.
4. Don’t Forget To Make It Cozy
As we’re sure that you might very well agree, even though elegant, glam rooms can often look beautiful and striking – it does mean that they can sometimes feel a little cold.
For this reason, it is important to make sure that you are incorporating elements of coziness to ensure your living room feels homely.
Some of the easiest ways you can achieve a cozy ambience while still maintaining a glamorous feel is through comfy furniture, a fireplace, a reading corner, blankets and more.
5. Opt For A Soft Color Palette
Even though it is possible to incorporate bold colors in your glamorous living room, one of the best ways that you can ensure that your living room has a timeless glamor is by opting for a soft/neutral color palette.
By making a soft color palette your base, you will then have the option of elevating your space with bold color if you so desire, while still maintaining a timeless glamor.
6. Create A Glamorous Display With Books And More
If you want your glam living room to have a touch of elegance and interest – one of the easiest ways you can do this is through a bookshelf display.
Bookshelves (or a similar piece of furniture) will provide you with the ability to add a variety of glamorous touches to your bookshelf including books, decorative pieces and plenty more.
7. Incorporate Dark Accents For A Glamorous, Sophisticated Vibe
When you picture a glamorous living space in your mind, we’re sure that you’ll envision a space with charming dark accents.

Hi, my name is Maisie Park and I have recently moved into the home I renovated with my husband. It took an entire year to get it just the way we wanted it, and I learned a thing or two along the way!
We started this project together with no prior experience in renovating houses or home improvements – I think the best I had was that I knew how to change a lightbulb.
Flash forward a year and here I am, creating a website to guide others through these challenges.
Please use my website as a source of inspiration for your own home – does your porch need a fresh lick of paint, by any chance? We all deserve to live in the house of our dreams, so what’s stopping you? Let’s get started!
