DecorBook Classic : Going Glam

Let's face it. If you are like me, you don't consider your rooms to be glamorous. Modern glam is surely different than the Hollywood glam of the 1960's. Now, glamorous rooms seem to be a bit monochromatic with a touch of animal print, mirror and metallic all rolled into one sublime room. A touch of glam can perk up any room and make it sizzle. Let's look at some glam ideas we might want to try.

A sequined pillow on your bed might just be enough glam. Modern glam is metallic colors, fresh flowers, faux fur and mirror. How about trying a bit in your rooms? The very least we can do is get out the good stuff (like china and silver) to enjoy everyday in our homes. After all, live is too short not to be glamorous.
