So basically, eclectic glam comprises bold patterns, and bright hues of colors complemented by luxurious materials that will enable the house owner to express their personality in a very unique sense of style.
Eclectic glam brings out the personality of the owner by embodying their vision on the canvas of their home.
We decided to step into this world of eclectic glam and came up with the idea of bolstering a living room according to this theme so that it becomes a totally eye-catching and unique space.
Have a look and decide for yourself whether eclectic glam is your cup of tea or not!
The Challenge:
We decided to remodel the entire living room. It was not an easy job to convert the whole place according to the theme but we took up the challenge.
First of all, we decided to encompass the lounge area into a stylish moody spot for entertainment purposes when family members and close friends hang out. This was supposedly a formal setting but we gave it an interpersonal touch.
Keeping in mind the diversity of the room. We thought of incorporating luxurious furniture accessories which would enable the whole theme to come up cohesively altogether.
Some of the challenges on hand were:
- Design should be more elevated towards the adult side to keep up the individual sense of style
- Selection of color of the walls so that the feeling of moodiness can be depicted
- The vibrancy of eclectic interior design should be showcased in the living room
- Usage of neutral shades to bind the theme with the rest of the house
The Inspiration:
The initial inspiration was taken from the internet, Pinterest, and different interior design outlets but the majority of the thought process went into bringing out the uniqueness of the theme.
We decided to make the theme come out as cohesive but have a glamorous outlook.
As the materials to be used should be luxurious therefore it was decided to take inspiration from the art galleries and the different abstract style quotients with the help of luxurious fabrics, heavy metal accents, glass decors and not to forget the addition of silver and gold here and there so that the distinctive touch of glamour is evident across the living room.
Not to forget, it was mandatory to make sure that the living room appears to be welcoming and cozy for the guests while maintaining the chic air of sophistication.
The Mood Board:
The mood board was created with a genuine mixture of different eras and styles while keeping the main focus on glamor and luxury.
To add more oomph to the room, it was decided to add antique accessories, the furniture should be vintage styled while the fabrics and the upholstery should be lavish and velvety. Different textures were incorporated and mingled so that a sense of elegance can be converted with the addition of depth.
Velvet, brass, leather, and various kinds of wooden textures were added to the mood board to have a lasting effect on the guests as well as to make sure that the room is not a showcase but a proper functional living room.
The Transformation
A welcoming, lavish and cozy room was created while the space was successfully converted into a stylish eclectic glam living room.
The background was kept neutral which spiced up the room’s aesthetics because of the contrasting details.
Different layers of textile were added with the help of the upholstery of the furniture and the rugs.
Another strategic layering was achieved with the treatments of the windows.
Velvety curtains were added to make sure that light and air could enter but with sheer layers in front of them. It was a beautiful sight as the light and air were controlled and entered the room that was just perfect to keep the room from getting dusty.
As it is a living room, therefore functionality is very important. It was decided to keep everything handy such as the coffee table and the spots for food and drinks so that these furnishings complimented the stylish quotient of the room.
The brass finishing with the chandelier and the wall sconces will enhance the overall glam factor of the room which is much needed
If you want to experiment then the addition of sculptural art will further elevate the aesthetic quotient of the room. This will be a perfect match for the eclectic glam theme. As a result, the living room would be a visual bliss!
Apart from the glam quotient, concentrate on the functionality and the practicality of the room. There should be enough space for people to roam around, sit as well as communicate when you plan on holding those meetups or parties in your living room.
The final touches should be in the form of plants, increasing the vibrancy in the room along with vases in the corners and candles on the coffee tables to compliment the theme on the overall scale.
Final thoughts on Glam Living Room
The eclectic glam theme is becoming trendy because of its uniqueness and newness. This theme started off with hiccups but thanks to the newer techniques, it soon became one of the most sought-after. The theme is more towards the expensive end because of the luxurious and glam quotient and it requires maintenance at regular intervals. People who love to experiment and are all about luxury opt for this theme as it differs from the prevalent interior design themes in the world.
