And it was exactly this look and feel that recent Decorilla clients were after for their newly built home. Read on to see the luxuriously stunning glam interior design result for yourself!
The Challenge: Glamorous House Decor
Owners of a newly remodeled home, recent Decorilla clients sought to bring the home alive with an air of elegance and luxury. The project had a large scope including nearly the entire home, with focus on two living areas, a dining room, and the master suite. A design of this scale doesn’t come without its challenges. For this glam interior project, the designer had to:
- Deliver a model home appearance, immersed in neutral colors with strong touches of glam throughout
- Design a complete house interior from a blank slate
- Avoid any major construction work, since the home was completely renovated before the couple moved in
- Add accent walls, wallpaper, and ceiling details as a desirable touch

Design Inspiration: Glam Interiors
The clients wanted their home to feel like they were living in a magazine. The colors were to be kept calm and neutral, leaving it to the accents of glam to bring personality to the layouts. Their inspiration photos also included classic furniture pieces like tufted chesterfield sofas and pieces upholstered in velvet for added opulence.
Reflective surfaces ran through the same set of images. Mirrored furniture and polished metal gave the neutral rooms their shine, with crystal lighting overhead. Many favored pieces paired soft textures with harder ones, such as velvet beside glass or chrome for contrast. Light and reflection did the glam work everywhere, keeping the mood bright.
Initial Concepts: Finding the Right Designer
Equipped with the clients inspiration as well as their likes and dislikes, two Decorilla online interior designers were able to submit initial concepts for the couple to choose between. While the choice was far from easy, the design ideas from Tera S. finally prevailed. Just as the clients wanted, a soft gray took centerstage in her moodboard, complemented by elegant furniture and decor in the finishes they loved.
After Tera was chosen as the winning designer, she continued working on luxury interior design concepts for the remaining rooms of the house that fit the look and feel of the glam style living room. Overall, the home received a cohesive design throughout, tying in similar colors, finishes and textures within each space.
Results Revealed: Glam Interior Design
Located at the house’s main entrance, the formal living room is the first thing to make an impression. And through glam interior design, it became a showstopper. However, the rest of this now build home doesn’t fall back at all. Read on room by room to see why.
The Glam Style Formal Living Room
The choice of a bold accent went to the oversized artwork, a stunning abstract piece that doesn’t feel too bold or cold thanks to its earthy palette. Additionally, mirrored side tables and a crystal chandelier bring just the right amount of glitz, matching well with the gold coffee table and the art frame. Meanwhile, plush silvery velvet of the Chesterfield sofa enhances the layout with a notable tactile quality.
The beveled edges of the block-style mirrored side table soften its rigid structure. This simple yet effective solution that discreetly reflects both the light and its surroundings. Other pieces continue the look with a similar effect, ideal for showing off the selection of luxurious materials. The sideboard is also expertly crafted in a glamorous, elevated style, while the bold side table boasts a sculptural quality that suits the room’s flair.
Transforming Challenges into Creative Solutions
The home’s new build state ruled out structural changes of any real scope. Still, each room needed a sense of permanence, a feeling that these surfaces belonged to the house.
In the master suite, the 3D wall tiles behind the bed carry the weight. They mount onto the existing plane, so the structure remains untouched while the surface does the work. Similarly, enclosing the open shelving in the family room gave the joinery a cleaner face and a defined job, all within the existing footprint. Across the house, the structural character comes from finish and reuse, the exact result the no-construction brief called for.
Glam Interior Design for the Dining Room
The dining room design followed the main living room in a neutral feel and cool vibes. The designer was encouraged to use her creative freedom, as long as that meant integrating some existing pieces the client wanted to keep. Their dining table and chairs as well as a gorgeous antique silver credenza needed their place.
Adding a rug, the statement artwork, curtain panels, and curation of refined accessories dressed the room to complete its glamorous edge. Finally, the statement crystal chandelier gave a dramatic focal point to the space, at the same time perfectly communicating with the acrylic dining chairs’ legs.
Combined Living & Dining Glam Room Decor
The transitional kitchen opens up to a more informal lounge and breakfast nook, which was another blank canvas to fill. Here, the designer had no restrictions apart from keeping the client’s Z Gallerie sectional. The main challenge was to continue the glamorous narrative from the front of the home, but keep the vibe more casual for the family to gather an unwind.
Tera’s design solution for this room emphasizes the abundance of daylight, making it a cozy shelter with blue accents against a neutral background. To finish the look, contrasting light wood tones nicely accentuate the setting as they juxtapose with the dark shelves.
The existing built-ins newly enclosed shelves can now discreetly store and hide media equipment. But stars of the show here are, undoubtedly, the poufs. Their modern pattern enhances the tactile and visual quality of the luxurious cowhide, while the soft comfortable shape provides extra seating when needed.
Modern Glam Bedroom Result
The bedroom was an empty slate that came with a couple of specific requirements. The client desired particular details, such as modern 3D wall tiles as a headboard, accompanied by a few minor accents of the designer’s choice. The generously spaced layout left plenty of room for window seating and a chic minimalist Lucite-style bench. Once again, the original wall color and wood floor stayed, but the addition of a feature padded wall adds a warmer, cozier, and more pampered feel.
The client also requested double drapery. The bottom layer is sheer to let in plenty of light, topped with a heavier curtain for privacy and temperature control. Straight, geometric lines in the new modern glam bedroom are softened by a thick, luxurious shaggy rug and a crystal chandelier for a sophisticated focal. Metallic waves further enrich the rug’s thick, high-pile texture to provide extraordinary visual depth.
Luxurious shagreen-leather bedside tables add a subtle but notable contrast with their texture and tone. At the same time, the sleek surface of the acrylic bench floats in the room, taking up little to no visual space. A contrasting chrome finish strongly underlines the rectangular base of the armchairs. While the room is bursting with a cool-toned glamorous flair, the organically shaped hide provides sense of warmth.
Design Details: Sourcing the Perfect Pieces
Before anything was ordered, Tera walked the clients through the full concept in Decorilla’s 3D renderings. Seeing the glam living room in real scale showed them how the pieces related, which kept the buying decisions clear. Trade discounts brought timeless, well-made furniture within budget, so the neutral base and glam accents landed at a comfortable cost.
Tera built the new selections around the existing pieces, such as the dining set and the family’s sectional. As their preferences took shape, she fine-tuned the finishes and details to match. Their reply spoke to the collaboration: “Thank you Tera , for your amazing designs. It was a pleasure to work with you!“
