Rise of Glam at Schneiderman’s Furniture

A Glam look has been trending on and off since the Rat Pack ruled Hollywood.  Inspired in part by art deco, a glam look is characterized by luxurious materials, neutral color palettes, lots of texture, and glitzy finishes.  Mirrored pieces, golds and other metallics, thick furs, and glossy woods all combine to create a glamorous look reminiscent of classic Hollywood.  At Schneiderman’s Furniture, we strive to provide a wide range of styles and we have recently received pieces perfect to add a touch of glam to your home decor.

The Caracole King Bed from Schnadig has luxurious fabric panels on the side rails and footboard.  The headboard design is raised fabric panels with deeply finished wood inlay.  Just standing next to this bed will make you feel like you’re in a glamorous hotel.  And now you can bring this feeling home.  Simply stunning.

Updated glam, the glossy black wood finish combines with a cut velvet patterned cushion in this fantastic chair from Lexington’s Tommy Bahama Royal Kahala collection. The curving shapes on the backs and sides of the chair are reminiscent of the lyric patterns in Art Deco pieces and the upholstery pattern has classic roots. Luxury, texture, neutral palette.

The Casbah Sectional from King Hickory is another stunning example of modern glam.  Silky oyster chenille, deep down cushions, and fringed accent pillows in neutral, textured animal prints create luxury in your great room or living room.  It’s too beautiful to sit on and too comfortable to miss – perfect glam!

Find these glam looks and more at Schneiderman’s Furniture in Plymouth, Lakeville, Roseville, Duluth, and Woodbury Minnesota (pieces shown at select MN furniture stores).

What’s New – Glam!

Glamour has long been associated with Hollywood and movie stars.  Glam design, in current parlance, is about a marriage of deco vintage motifs and luxurious texture.  Mirrored surfaces, fur, leather, chrome and a simple, high contrast color palette are what make glam so popular today. 

Melange Scroll Chest

Lakeville, MN

This chest, from the new Melange collection by Hooker Furniture and shown at our Plymouth, MN showroom, is an accent piece that adds glamour to any space.  But the overall image – multiple textures, deco motif, simple color palette, reflective surfaces – typifies glam design.  Likewise, the bed setting on the right, which incorporates a tufted headboard and black leather pillows, is another glam look.

Design trends reflect other fashion trends.  The home is usually about a year behind wearable fashion.  As is often the case, opposite trends creep up simultaneously.  Next week, we will be talking about a reclaimed and recycled trend that seems to be the exact opposite of the glam look and is another strong interior design trend.
