How to make your room look more glamorous and luxurious

The bed is the centrepiece of any luxurious room. Make it count.

You don't have to be rolling in cash to make your room look like you are. While the trendiest, most expensive designer furniture is likely to add a touch of class to your room, you don't have to break the bank and splurge on Egyptian cotton and a canopy worthy of royalty to create a luxe vibe. By picking certain statement pieces, colors, and textures, you can glam it up and pretend you're living lavishly.

Here are a few ways to spruce up your room to exude some elegance and luxury:

1. Use reflective metallics — gold and silver.

Using the colors of precious metals sounds pretty cliche, but it works as long as these colors aren't splashed everywhere. They should be a touch of color decorating your pillows, bookends, decor, or furniture handles. Make sure you choose a shade of gold that doesn't look artificial — the wrong metallic items can leave you looking tacky instead of glam.

2. Use jewel tones.

The richness of sapphire, emerald, or ruby decor adds strong punches of color in an elegant way that isn't too loud. You don't have to buy embroidered pillows — covering a Lull memory foam pillow with a silk ruby-colored pillowcase is enough to add a touch of class.

3. Hang up some artwork.

Expensive hotels and homes almost always have elegant artwork on the walls. You don't need to spend thousands on real paintings — replicas work beautifully, and framing them is an easy way to add metallic bling from tip #1.

Think about the last hotel you visited that made you feel like you were breathing luxury. What art did they have? Find similar works that'll evoke the same energy.

4. Hit up antique shops.

Antiques are often associated with sophistication and wisdom. Many antique stores have a wide range of price points, with some affordable pieces evoking scenes from your favorite historical film. Thrift stores carry items with a great vintage look too.

5. Organize your stuff with trays.

There's a certain elegance about displaying your things on an ornate tray on a desk, nightstand, or vanity. Antique shops, furniture stores, and gift shops carry decorative metallic trays in both vintage and modern styles.

6. Start with the bed — the anchor of every luxurious bedroom.

Every interior designer will tell you the same thing: no amount of metallic accents or jewel-toned throw pillows will save a bedroom anchored by a saggy, uninspiring mattress. The bed is the visual and physical centrepiece of the room, and the quality of your sleep surface communicates everything.

Hotel designers know this — it's why luxury properties invest in their mattresses before anything else. A supportive, well-made mattress topped with crisp bedding instantly elevates how the entire room feels and looks. If you're looking to upgrade your bedroom, explore Lull's mattress lineup — the single highest-impact change you can make.
