Glamour Contest - Image 1
This space exemplifies glamour in its bold confidence, thoughtful restraint, and attention to detail. And then there's that amazing floor...Boom, Boom, Pow!
simple chic
I love this room, it wraps the glamour of hollywood, with the street-cred of new york and the romance of miami. The chic understated furniture lets all the attention fall on the occupant; the ground to ceiling windows reflect confidence and modernity, and yet the sheen of the floor makes you want to turn up the music and dance. It's perfect.
Sleek, Clean and Oh! So Chic.
The clean lines, ivory backdrop and the punch of color gives this room the touch of glamour that invites you in and says,"please come sit by the fire and enjoy the view of the surroundings." The floors are like white patent leather church shoes contrasted by the textural floor rug and elongated sofa. The orange color just pops against the backdrop with just the right amount of accent to this monochromatic and sleek look. Light infuses the space and adds to the reflective quality of the high gloss surfaces. The degrees of contrast
draw you into the space.
STUNNING SIMPLICITY!
The glamour of this room is awesome in its very spareness. All white can be cold, and a totality of contemporary design can be relentles and uncomfortable, but not here! I love the tiny touch of brilliant red as a relieving accent although any color would work as well to provide a necessary zap--a spark that gives the room life. The texture of the furniture plays off the gleam of the polished floor in a way that would be rendered ordinary with any other flooring material or finish, and that gleam is a wonderful juxtaposition with the honesty of bare bones walls and ceiling. I think anyone walking into this space will stand out yet at the same time fit in no matter what they're wearing. I want to be the star on this stage!

Setting the Stage
It is all about the characters and this room lets them shine. The neutrals provide the ultimate backdrop for the occupants with that fabulously reflective floor reinforcing the image.
Modern Industrialism
The purity and simplicity of this "white on white" design has a rustic, yet modern refined look that creates a mood of peacefulness and calm with no distractions; while the warm natural light drenches and radiates every corner to set the backdrop for the architectural details.
The juxtapositioning of soft subtle textures, clean neutrals, and red accents against a smooth reflective surface draw your eye into the space to let you know that you have arrived.
Elegant Tranquility
The clean and simple lines of this room beckons one to bask in the elegance, serenity, and lightness of the room, not being intimidated by its sophistication but rather becoming part of it. BEING in the room, part ethereal yet functional and inviting, defines Glamour.
True Hollywood Glamour!
This room defines glamour with its all-white palette and unexpected orange accents. The luxurious, elegant materials in the open, loft-like space invites me to dance around the room to refrains of Duke Ellington.

Everything in one spacious space. This room has heroic
proportions, but is not overwhelming, because of the center
placement of the confined living space. Balance and
interest, are everywhere. I am sure this lovely space, is
viewed as dramatically at night, as it is in daylight
Sleek Glamour
From the sleek floor to the rustic ceiling, this rooms clean lines and punches of bold color shout glamour! Such a great space with a surprisingly elegant feel!
Come and Sit
A peaceful aura invites one to come in, sit down, and have a conversation in the seating area, grounded and warmly defined by the rug. The fireplace is a charming focus yet not dominating. The people in this space would be dominant. The white ceiling and walls have character and interest while forming a soft yet stylish cocoon from the outside, while the orange accessories draw the eye into the conversation area with energy.
Defined Elegance
Clean, refined, modern and elegant. The feel of "Old Hollywoood" coupled with the urban treatment, this space exudes glamour.
The subtle lines, defined space and spark of color further portray chic radiance.
diamond in the rough
I love the contrast between rough and smooth textures that appear effortless in this design. The industrial ceiling adds an edge to the serene almost glasslike floor space. The added small punches of color allow the eye to wander through the space rather than becoming lost in a sea of white and gray! Thus making this space inviting on a hot summers day or a cold winters night.. whats not to love!!
Pure Glamour, Pure Class
This room is a vision framed in white. The cleanness of the white walls and crispness of white linens play off the beautiful polished floors and the painted wood ceilings. It is a collage of textures and surfaces, with the color acting as the glue.
The centerpiece of the room is the monochromatic scheme with that glamourous "pop" of red accents...very classy.
This room is elegant, clean, and beautiful. For me, that is the very definition of the word "glamour".
Sophisticated Glamour
This space has been designed for great conversations... where the people that have the privilege of occupying it are the stars... What could be more glamorous than to be inside a large sculptural space that plays with form, light and shadow...which I can imagine to be even more dramatic at night.
Ultimate glamor is achieved when you don't have the need for the glitz... and the simplicity of this room is like a fine strand of pearls adorned with a ruby clasp.
Clean design in any space...
The first image illustrates that great design in any space - can make any space great.
A clean set of elements with interesting accents contrasts with an urban space and really creates comfort.
Seriously Discriminating STYLE
This room is perfection. The simple shapes and neutral colors whisper "reserved... unaffected" but the overall space reads "masterful aesthete." Powerful.
Image number one
Glamour is defined by the architectural space that is clean, understated and slick with the use of material combinations of travertine flooring in white, a white stone fabricated fireplace that is floating on the stairwell wall used as a room divider and also main focal point in the living area sitting space. The reuse of the reclaimed materials of the building on the ceiling and and using the same size windows that were also located in the same place as the original windows keeps the architectural integrity of the base of the building looking true to it's history. The contrast of the slick, sleek furnishings, rug, the flooring and fireplace give this interior a soft contemporary feeling in set in a possibly historical building as the backdrop for the photo.

Glam-min'
Aesthetically the space is eternal - bathing you in white light from top to bottom. Imagine turning the key and walking into this space - you are instantly transported into purity of thought.
"Minimalist Glamour or Glam-min" - reminds me of a Chanel ivory power suit I once owned. Accompanied with the perfect red scarf, purse and shoes...makes the statement "I'm passionate and powerful."
Thoughtful in function, depth with its tone-on-tone texture, masculine with its overal linear design, while feminine and refined in its accessories. Glam-min is pure sophistication.

Visual feeling of contrast through industrial primitive ceiling versus smooth clean marble floors, accented by the day light from the windows. The living space is a rather secondary simplification to the designers vision of creating modern glamour. Great photo.
