Sometimes, all that glitters is gold after all. Inspired by the lavish looks at this year’s Met Ball, we bring you 10 homeware pieces that promise to add a touch of gilded glamour to your home.
The 2022 Met Ball has come and gone, but we still can’t get enough of the decadent, luxurious theme: gilded glamour.
After two-and-a-bit years of staying at home in our pyjamas and maybe throwing on an old jumper for the odd Zoom call, the promise of a life of glitz and glamour is simply irresistible. Lace and feathers and velvet and tulle! Elbow-length opera gloves! Smoky eyes and bold red lips! And did we mention the gold?
All of this over-the-top glamour got us thinking: why not bring some of this glamour into our homes, too?
Gilded glamour isn’t just a theme for your next out-out dress – it’s a lifestyle. With a few gilded glamour-inspired homeware pieces, you can transform your home into a smoky, vanilla-scented 1920s hotel bar or a velvet and gold-trimmed manor house library, like something straight out of an Agatha Christie murder mystery.
Here are 10 pieces to add some much-needed old-Hollywood glamour to your home.
