The Perfect Elements + Lux = Glamour
This interior is clean, crisp, edited and elegant. A timeless, comfortable interior perfect for reading a book by the fire on a raining evening or hosting a large charity fundraiser.
It just comes naturally
Glamour = elegant confidence and that comes from not trying too hard. No crystals, feathers or fur...just exquisite elements...disparate yet so familiar...collected in a seemingly casual way. The essence of good taste.
It is all about balance
First and foremost, glamour is about balance and proportions and this interior has it right. When you add carefully chosen details, you have created the interior in which you feel comfortable and important. This is what I call glamour.
Brilliant room
This room defines contemporary and comfort. It's full of live-able furniture, with a range of neutrals and textures. The focal point, the fireplace is understated but the hues of the stone seem warm because of the natural light and the warm wood. Love it...

Image 4: Glamour
This room defines glamour - It has great architectural features, clean lines, a great contemporary look. I love the contrast of the chocolate colours against the white ceiling and white ceramic tiles. The room is very airy the windows let in a lot of light. The furniture shows 'less is more', the accessories are great especially the side tables,they are very original and adds that eclectic touch.
smart and eclectic
This space represents a true living room. It appears to have formed over time - organically. The architectural elements represent some Bauhaus concepts with an addition of warmth through the rich woods. Interestingly, there is a smart contrast of plush furnishing(navy velvet sofa) with tailored furnishings (Le Corbusier chairs).
Karan Anton, ASID
This rooms is spare and beautiful. The fireplace wall is stunning and his eclectic furniture works very well. The room evokes peace, simplicity and glamour.
Balance
The one point perspective of this room draws your eye over rich textures focusing on the softer texture of the far wall. Additional focus down to the fireplace which invites and relaxes. Excellent usuage of colors and textures. This is definitely a multifunctional room with comfort in mind.
Balanced Glamour
This understated room is a balanced mixture of texture and color and shapes. It signifies glamour with its angular architectural shapes justaposed against the interior furnishings with signature Mies chair & drum shapes.
Clean and Elegant
This room is clean and elegant without being pretentious. It mixes the dark and light very well with the large windows on one side and the dark wall on the other. Because of this balance it's relaxing.

I think that this is the only room that actully look like part of a house and not a muzeum its have more detail its warmer inviting more then the other.
all rooms are vry nice but this one look real.
GLAMOROUS QUIET
From the chill of the fireplace wall to the warmth of the wood...as the tradition of the carpet plays off of the sexy meis chairs and what appear as wooden trees makes the space feel like an extension of what is beyond the glass doors.
Calm & cool
The room is a combination of soothing non-colors with the elegant simplicity of sparsness. What a combo to come home to in a hurried world.
Classic and timely, rich and simple
This room seamlessly blends iconic pieces across history and around the world, from the white marble of ancient Greece, past the mid century Barcelona chairs, and on to the green esthetic of today in the barely finished wood pedestal. Anchoring the room is the use of a broad spectrum of the finest building materials, accented with just a hint of shine.
Sophisticated & Inviting
The artful contrasts of light and dark in furnishings and finishes play off one another to create both warmth and glamour. Furniture arrangement says 'come on in and sit down."
Transitional Design
This design combines the look of contemporary,traditional and modern style, each piece of furniture speaks for itself in minimalist style allowing the architectual design of the room to be the focal point.
Breathable Glamour
This is chic, livable Zen. The immense room is warmed up by sensual dark wood walls, drum table, rustic but sleek coffee table and balanced by a gleaming white floor and focal stone fireplace wall. The plush sofa and throw, grounded by the unassumingly luxurious rug perfectly counters the sleekness of Barcelona chairs and chrome side tables. And the lamps... understated drama. Cool circles meet sexy squares. Glamour? Oh yes, Dah-ling.
Simple Beauty
This room incompasses the introduction of the outside to the inside. There's a "wanting" to see what's on the outside of these fabulously simple windows, but also a need to know what these chocolaty wooden stair lead to. The furnishings are not overly done, accents are almost not enough; but the eye is drawn to the fireplace on the blank wall....love it. Architectural features and classic furnishings.
Allure, chic, exoticism, mistique
The juxtaposition of dark and light, with rich, natural materials and gleaming metals are what define this space as "glamour", for me. Purple as a splash of bright color is the accessory that adds another rich dimension.
Glamour: Clean, Modern, Classic and Warm!
It's clean and modern and classic and warm. Not easy to acheive. It is thanks to the warm wood tones and those spectacular lamps -- it is the essence of Glamour. I'll bet inthe evening this room is cosy. Is that a purple sofa?!
Glamour stands the test of time
This room is glamour simple understated clean elegant something that will stand the test of time. Using high end elements like the solid wood, the tavertine/marble walled fireplace, the stone floor in a simple clean manner makes this room stand the test of time, a true classic.
