Crystal chandeliers in the bedroom add elegance and sophistication, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the space. They reflect light beautifully, creating a warm and inviting ambiance, while also serving as a focal point that can elevate the room's design. Additionally, the intricate designs and sparkling qualities of crystal can promote a sense of luxury and tranquility, making the bedroom a more relaxing sanctuary.

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.
04 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.
05 Paint the Ceiling

A painted ceiling is a simple way to add depth and dimension to your space, while also making it feel romantic and enchanting. For a glam look, select a color that feels rich, like a soft purple or emerald green. Then hang a chandelier in the center and watch it sparkle.
06 Bring in Silver Accents

Even the simplest metallic accent looks extravagant and expensive, as proven by the silver legs on this bedroom bench. Per Dunford, "Decorative accents in gold or silver add a rich, opulent touch to the design. Warm, yellow gold is the perfect contrast to neutral furniture, while bright silver highlights the room with a subtle luster. Add some throw pillows with gold or silver accents to the bed to set the mood for your glam look.”
07 Go for a Grand Bed

A glam bedroom calls for a King-sized bed that's grand enough to center the room. Pick a four-poster or one with unique detailing to set it apart from the rest of the space, then select high-quality black or white bedding to get a real high-fashion look.
08 Make the Most of Your Seating Area

Large bedrooms are perfect for pulling off the glamorous aesthetic, and if you're lucky enough to have a seating area in your room, the extra space allows for pulling in those unexpected touches. Whether it's a tufted ottoman, cool metallic pillows, or a glitzy, detailed chair, use this space wisely to add prestige to your bedroom.
09 Pick Rich Colors and Textures

One of the easiest ways to impart glamour in a space is with colors and textures that feel high-end. They don't have to be expensive to look expensive, either. Take your existing bed and add a combination of solid square shams, patterned pillows, and a velvet body pillow to instantly elevate it. Then, match your bedside accessories to the colors chosen to bring it all together.
10 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.
11 Upgrade Your Bedside Lighting

Swap out your boring bedside table lamps for mini glittering chandeliers on either side of the bed frame. Not only does this conserve your precious nightstand space, but it's a classy way to make the room feel a little more luxe. And don't forget the flowers.
12 Bring in Lots of Jewel Tones

Vibrant yet sumptuous, jewel tones impart an unmatched richness to a space. Complete your glam bedroom by layering in jewel tones (such as sapphire, amethyst, and ruby) with soft goods like bedding and pillows. You can match your furniture, too. Balance the deep, moody hues with shiny metallics and more neutral walls.
13 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."
