The Hollywood Regency style is fully hot and on the rise. It’s a style that takes chances. It believes in bling. Dares to use gold in a borderline gaudy way. The pros that best understand this style are set designers, because it’s always theatrical. I love my book Regency Redux – I pick it up when I’m feelin blue and need a glam slam picker upper. Dorothy Draper nails it as well, of course!

Bright kelly green & pink, Lucite and lacquer, black & white geometrics, and mirrors, mirrors, mirrors are all indicative of the Hollywood Regency style. I am literally transported to 1930s through 1950s scandals and secrets of Los Angeles. It is mysterious and full of passion not to mention opulent and fantastical.

A sneak peek into Ginger Rogers and Joan Crawford’s private boudoirs. Veronica Lake’s lavish parties. Elvis and Marilyn, young, fresh and full of potential. It’s all back! Brocade Home is the best place to start with your next Hollywood Regency Room Recipe. Need help? Just ask… I’m always here!
