Beginning in the 1930s, Tinseltown's Golden Age inspired a design aesthetic revered as the pinnacle of glamour. Known as Hollywood Regency, it was built on opulence, leaning on midcentury modern elements and a whole lot of flair. Today, the style champions eclecticism with lacquered furniture, brass accents, and luxurious textiles rich with pattern at its forefront.
