Inject Glamour Into Your Home

Feel like your home could do with some ‘va va voom’, or like it needs a touch of dressing
up for the party season? Whether you’re looking to renovate or just titivate we can help.
Glamour is one of those hard-to-define terms, but you definitely know it when you see it.
For some of us just a touch of glamour is enough, but you can elevate your home’s whole
look and feel if you so desire.

 

 

Sparkle

Lighting is a key way to do this, choose something
which looks just as eye-catching when it’s off as when it’s on. Whether you go for a
classic crystal chandelier, or a contemporary lamp with LED sparkles, choose with
what works best for your home and lifestyle. And with lighting, more is always more -
floor lamps, table lamps, statement pendants. You don’t have to have them all on at the same time, you just want to have options for different moods and activities.

 

 

High shine furniture

lacquered or high gloss furniture can have a very glamorous
feel, and Cookes’ concession luxury Portugese brand Aleal does glamour to
perfection. Their furniture comes in an array of finishes from wood veneers to
contemporary solid colours to metallics you’re sure to add some serious glamour to
your home. Contrasting your textures with high gloss next to matt or wood veneers,
offers more visual interest, so do be adventurous.

 

 

Velvet

What fabric feels more decadent and glamorous than velvet? This perennial
favourite, perfect for sofas, chairs, headboards, cushions and curtains was once a
fabric purely for the aristocracy. Now we can enjoy its beauty and unique touch in
hardwearing, stain-resistant modern fabrics. So whether you accessorise your sofa
with new cushions, a footstool, or just add a velvet
throw to your bed, velvet is your go-to for glamour.

 

 

Accent Furniture

Accent pieces such as side tables, chest of drawers or console tables are a great place to
add a touch of high impact style.

 

 

Artwork

Are you planning a glamorous fancy dress themed party? Why not style your
home to suit the theme, whether it’s a James Bond casino vibe, or a Gatsby era
‘speakeasy’? Swap out your current artwork for some new prints in keeping with the
look, a quick and easy way to make a statement. And completely reversible, when you
feel like another change. Frames are important here as well, look at Venetian glass
frames, or crystal frames, which can look especially fun with flamboyant abstract art.
