Hollywood Regency focuses on making the home a showpiece for guests, and classic designers spared no shine, glitz or glamour in making that happen. Lacquer everything! Hollywood Regency style used a lot of bright, glossy colors on furniture.
Lots of Luxe
Velvet drapes, silk lampshades and thick, sculpted carpets mark the Hollywood Regency design style. In the era when Hollywood Regency evolved, people really wanted to impress each other with their homes, adding showy fabrics into a decorating scheme gives any home the sense of scale and glamour that Hollywood designers of the era strived for. Watch the Scale

Design for the Individual
Because Hollywood Regency design is meant to be an eclectic mix of styles with one overarching luxurious theme. The style lends itself to mixing and matching, it's important to remember coordinating elements. The whole concept is that this is a suite of furniture for an individual. It's classic furniture that never goes out of style. It's back because it's luxurious and glamorous, and because you can create an individual look because it allows you to mix and create your own living space."
Glitz, Glamour and Gorgeous
While Hollywood Regency design is a throwback to another era, it's still incredibly modern and relevant to today's hurried lifestyle, where people view homes as havens where they can relax. The whole style is about enjoying people, enjoying time [together], it's about glamour and getting a glimpse of those bygone days where TV was less important and it was about cocktail hour and company.
