10 Glamorous Sleep Spaces that Have Movie Star Quality
Forget boring bedroom and think glamorous boudoir, with furniture and finishes fit for a Hollywood starlet or a sexy soul diva
Jennifer Lopez, allegedly, will only sleep on bed sheets with at least a 1,000 thread count. And if she’s that picky about her bedding, you can guess that the rest of her boudoir is pretty luxe and glam, too. Of course, J Lo has deep pockets, but we can all take a leaf out of her book and work sensual, luxurious touches into our bedrooms, too, to give them a little va va voom. After all, no matter how tired you are, wouldn’t it be nice to feel like a pampered starlet every time you go to bed? Here are some ideas for lavish, decadent boudoirs…
Install an elegant fireplace
A real fire in the bedroom is definitely one way to nail the Hollywood starlet vibe. Especially if you plan on sleeping in Chanel No5 and nothing else, just like Marilyn! Well, you don’t want to catch a chill now, do you?

Overdress to impress
Why have one pillow, when you can have nine? (Or more?) The first and only rule of luxury: it is never about need, it is about excess! For a convincing boudoir feel, don’t hold back.

Supersize the headboard
You probably don’t need a headboard as big as the one in this glamorous bedroom, but it looks dramatic and adds pattern and texture above the bed, drawing the eye up to the pretty chandelier.

Splash dreamy whites around
If the Hollywood stars of old did minimalism, this is how they would pull it off. Silky soft sheets and pouffed up pillows galore make the bed look incredibly seductive. Then there is the oversized headboard, twinkling chandeliers and floaty curtains — dreamy and very glam!

Invest in a very fluffy throw
Tactile textures are essential in a sensual, luxe bedroom. Here, a fluffy white bedspread and floaty sheer curtains that drape onto the floor make for one very indulgent space. The black leather headboard adds a slither of masculine contrast, to offset all that softness.

Accessorise with flowers
Even if you don’t have Hollywood style furniture, transform your bedroom into a boudoir fit for a diva with lots and lots of freshly cut flowers. We so often save flowers for the communal spaces in a house, but they add a shot of pure indulgence and delicate fragrance to a bedroom.

Go for a chateau feel
OK, so this bedroom is more Hollywood starlet on holiday in her Tuscan castle, but it goes to prove that you don’t need to choose draped curtains, pale colours and mountains of cushions for a very glamorous feel. Sensual textures and an oversized headboard do feature, though, while a showstopper mirror is an exciting contrast to the stone wall and sends the glam factor into orbit!

Mix in mirrored furniture
Mirrored furniture will always add a touch of glamour to a room. Even a modest mirrored bedside unit will set the glam tone, or go for a more dramatic effect with a mirrored dressing table and stool, teamed with candlesticks and an extravagant mirror on the wall. (Silver wallpaper and fluffy sheepskin rug optional…)
