Hollywood Regency Glam

Hollywood regency is the new shabby chic. Its official - this hard-to-describe but easy-to-spot style has been invading living rooms for a few years and has slowly made its way into the nursery. Characteristics of this style include:

• Clean lines
• White furniture in a high gloss finish
• Graphic patterned wallpaper or rugs
  
• Mirrored accessories
  
• Chrome

Here are some shots for inspiration:

And here are some easy DIY things you can do to the nursery to infuse it with this style:

• Add a painted piece of furniture. A long dresser can be used as a changing table, and an old vanity can have new life with a coat of high gloss paint. Add crystal knobs for an extra special touch


• Add a mirrored touch. Accessories like these are cute, or for a more baby safe option try a lamp with a mirrored base for on top of a dresser

• Add a DIY wall stencil that looks like wall paper. Try painting it on just one wall to save time and money

• Choose a white crib or dresser with clean lines. Extra points if it has a high gloss finish!
