Back in the day, I was all about having a bedroom that was either totally monochrome, super pink, or had that cool vintage vibe. Luckily, my twenties gave me the chance to try out all sorts of bedroom decor styles. But as I matured, I started leaning towards more modern looks. But modern definitely doesn’t mean boring, quite the opposite! Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot about the “glam” style for bedroom decor, and I have to say, I was intrigued at first. But now, I think it’s become one of my favourite styles.
Glam is this interior design style that’s all about being fancy and lavish. But it also finds this sweet spot between too much and just enough elegance. It’s an awesome blend of trendy furniture pieces with some bolder ones thrown in. It has so much personality! And the best part is, we can keep it as simple or as flashy as we want. There’s no wrong or right way to glam up our bedroom!
So I have hunted down all these budget-friendly decor pieces that are considered must-haves for this type of bedroom. It’s incredible how we can achieve what we imagine without breaking the bank. An affordable and glam bedroom decor feels like a dream come true for me. 🥰

- 1. Decorate with a mirrored bedside table
Ever since I was a little girl, I used to daydream all the time about growing up and finally getting to decorate my bedroom exactly how I wanted. And let me tell you, my taste in interior design has gone through a lot of changes over the years. I just hope it’s a common thing for everyone. 😅
But I think a silver mirrored bedside table speaks a universal language of love. It’s just one of those things that everyone falls for instantly. That’s my case, anyway! It grabbed my attention right away and I knew it was a must-have piece to glam up any bedroom decor.
I’m amazed by how this style adds a touch of elegance with such simplicity. Besides, it doesn’t even require a lot of space to fit perfectly. You will fall in love with the uniqueness of the material, I have no doubts about that!
And now let me reveal the most powerful weapon of this furniture piece! 👀 The mirrored glass can make a room look bigger. So, whether we use it to decorate a master bedroom or a small one, it does the trick! What’s even more exciting is that it reflects light, making the room instantly brighter!
- 2. Opt for a crystal touch lamp
Let me share a little story with you! 🙂
When I was 11 years old, my parents surprised me by redecorating my bedroom while I was on a school trip. When I came home and saw all the new bedroom furniture, I almost cried with happiness. It remains one of my best memories ever. I adored everything about my new decor, but what really stole my heart was this cute bedside lamp. I could start or stop the lamp just by touching it, or even adjust the level of light. Now that was a cool thing in that era!
And call me sentimental, but for me it still is. So whenever I have the chance to purchase a new lamp, I still look for this amazing feature. Luckily, I came across the idea of a crystal crystal touch lamp, which can be incredibly affordable yet look so luxurious. Besides the touch feature, we can even plug in our phone or tablet into its USB ports (many lamps have this function nowadays). I guess back then, in my childhood, we didn’t need that, but technology grew faster than me. 🫣
Imagine how cute it will look on the mirrored bedside table we found earlier. It’s like two lost parts becoming whole again. 🙂
- 3. Use a full length standing mirror
What can be more glam than our own image? Always remember, the most important thing is how we feel about ourselves. I take every chance I get to look in the mirror and remind myself to be kind to what I see. So think of a mirror as an investment in yourself.
Besides, it’s a must-have if we want our bedroom to have that glam look. I found a full-length standing mirror three days ago, and I was struck by the balance of quality and price. I just had to buy it, so today I’m thrilled because I received it. 💜
Honestly, it’s an excellent mirror! I love the size of it and the subtle frame makes it so easy to blend in with any bedroom decor. It’s perfect for trying on my day-to-day outfits. I enjoy it so much that I think I’ll abandon my vanity mirror and do my makeup in this mirror instead. Hmm, it’s actually a pretty good idea!
I like to use it as a standing mirror because it feels like a very imposing piece of furniture, which is exactly what we’re looking for in a glam bedroom. But you can also hang it on the wall if you’d prefer to have more space. I asked my boyfriend, and he said it looks pretty easy to hang. We’ll just take his word for it! 🫣
Just kidding 😀, it came with the necessary instructions and accessories. Piece of cake!
- 4. Glam up your walls with beautiful artwork
Our walls need to sparkle as well! Any bedroom will instantly glam up when we add a beautiful silver-framed artwork. I really like how we can feel the touch of elegance just by looking at a wall-art. Because you know what they say, you have to see a painting through your soul, not only through your eyes.
We can select various sizes to match our room’s dimensions. What I find most interesting is a subtle combination of gold and silver, which emanates a posh vibe. But it’s really up to our own taste, so whatever we find that suits our personality, I am sure it can revitalize our walls as well. It’s that easy!
- 5. Consider a crystal chandelier
Am I the only one who deeply loves crystals? I guess you figured that out by now, considering my selection of products. 🙈 But what’s not to love, honestly? Growing up, we didn’t have too many crystal decor pieces, so maybe I’m just trying to balance things a little bit. Sometimes, our preferences in decor are influenced by our past experiences or the things we didn’t have. 🙂
Either way, I believe that a crystal chandelier is an essential piece in our glam bedroom decor. It’s elegant, it sparkles, and we just have to find the right size. I prefer a smaller size when it comes to the centre of the room. Otherwise, I’ll feel a bit overwhelmed by all the glamour!
I once read an article saying crystals attract positive energies and it even has healing powers. I’m not sure I truly believe that, but I definitely like the sound of it. I just hope a crystal decor piece will work its magic!

- 6. Choose a fancy velvet bedding set
I think we should leave aside the visuals and concentrate a little bit on the ‘’feeling’’ part of the ”glam” look.You know what they say: it’s not just about how you look, it’s also about how you feel.
Now let’s talk about the perfect three piece bedding set. For me, without a doubt, it has to be made from crushed velvet material. I am literally in love with my sleeping hours under this plush and soft material. It just feels like an enormous and continuous hug. I bought my first crushed velvet bedding years ago, and ever since, it’s become like a second skin.
It’s my personal opinion that crushed velvet paired with shiny silk satin has the most elegant and luxurious appearance. Not to mention how incredibly well it can blend with other elegant furniture pieces. I’m inclined to say this should be considered first when we decide to glam up our bedroom!
- 7. Try a crushed velvet divan bed with mattress
If we really want a bold furniture centrepiece, we should definitely choose a white crushed velvet bed. Glam style is absolutely characterised by the use of luxe metal finishes! Plus, white has always been considered one of the most sophisticated colours.
I know what you’re thinking! Isn’t white difficult to maintain? 🤔 But here’s the trick: velvet material is actually one of the easiest to clean. This tough and sturdy fabric ensures that our bed frame will maintain its great look and feel for a long time.
I might be biassed, but I believe that the combination of white and silver is essential for achieving glamorous home decor. Both colours will make sure that our bedroom is full of sparkle and brightness at the same time.
Aside from its stunning appearance, the right bed also offers us the gift of space! Metaphorically speaking, of course, but I believe we should always look for a bed with storage drawers and a matching mattress. This way, we can save both money and space. What more could we ask for?
- 8. Pick a fluffy area rug
Honestly, I believe that a fluffy rug will look amazing in any type of bedroom. Our bedroom is the one place where we allow ourselves to perceive the world around us as perfect. It’s like a perfect hideout, our own crystal bubble.
Plus, I don’t think there’s a better feeling than your feet on a soft, fluffy, thick rug. The comfort and relaxation you feel are immeasurable. Whether as a kid or as an adult, it just feels like home!
My mom once taught me that by simply resting our feet on a soft surface, we initiate a cascade of relaxation throughout our entire body. That’s why a soft plush texture is the perfect choice! It looks luxurious, but it feels a thousand times better. What’s more glamorous than that?
- 9. Fill your bed with fluffy cushions
Our bed needs to be dressed as well, doesn’t it? Think of yourself when you want to have a glamorous outfit. You just need those final touches, such as cute accessories or a nice pair of shoes. Well, we should do the same with our living space.
You know, I just love it when my bed feels super inviting. I want to be thinking about it all day, just waiting to dive into its cosy comfort after a hectic afternoon. You know that feeling when you sink into fluffy cushions on your bed? They’re like a cozy hug, perfect for resting your head or snuggling up with a good book.
It’s a real pleasure adding some extra fluffy cushions, making sure each one is carefully selected. They’ll add that touch of luxury without looking too extravagant. Plus, they’re not just about appearance, they add warmth and personality to our bed too.
- 10. Invest in a luxurious plush blanket
When it comes to blankets, I’m meticulous about selecting the right one. I prefer to invest in a gorgeous and luxurious plush throw whenever I redecorate. It’s simply a must-do for me. But let me tell you, the glam in the room after adding that stylish piece of fluffiness makes every effort worthwhile. Not only does it add a touch of luxury to my bed, but it’s also the best invitation to relax and unwind.
I’m always on the lookout for a high-quality material throw that guarantees a silky soft touch on my skin. Imagine the comfort during those lazy mornings! Shhh! Don’t tell anyone, but sometimes I like to wear it and just peacefully walk around the house. I feel like one of those charming 70’s actresses. 🙂 What would we be without a bit of imagination? 🤭
- 11. Cover your windows with elegant blackout curtains
I’ve always said that a room looks naked without curtains. It just does. You can never finish decorating your home without choosing the right curtains. For an affordable and glam bedroom decor, we have to think of elegant fabrics, sleek designs, and that touch of luxury that takes our interior to the next level. Not only do they bring the level of sophistication we’re looking for, but they also provide the privacy we need.
Besides, we all know that our room requires both light and darkness. Sometimes, we need those extra hours of sleep, while other days, only the sun can cheer us up. There’s no better choice than elegant blackout curtains to balance both our needs. I would suggest a light colour with a metallic finish to enhance the decor we’re going for. A light colour can brighten the space and even make our room appear slightly bigger. That’s what I call a win-win!
- 12. Add a crushed velvet ottoman to the end of your bed
You know those old movies about royalties living in palaces? I always adored the big chest trunks they had at the end of their beds, filled with fine jewels and expensive fabrics. Well, in real life, I like to replace that vintage chest with a crushed velvet ottoman. It’s still gorgeous, and the storage is ideal for all my luxurious blankets. So, I feel a bit glamorous as well!
We can even use it as a bench to relax after a long day or as a handy spot to lay out our clothes for the next morning. Plus, crushed velvet is so easy to maintain and such a treat for our eyes. It’s like the cherry on top of our bedroom decor sundae!
I’ll definitely go for a white ottoman, just like I suggested earlier for the bed. Nothing screams style and splendour more than white. I actually read an article yesterday that mentioned how the delicate nature of the colour often evokes thoughts of royalty and spirituality.

- 13. Accessorize your bedside table with a crystal jewellery box
I’m not a fan of a cluttered bedside, but having a cute crystal jewellery box nearby is a must for me. It adds a touch of sparkle to my nighttime routine when I take off my earrings or other accessories. It’s not just a place to store our favourite jewellery pieces, it’s also a dazzling addition to our affordable and glam bedroom decor.
Back in my teenage days, I had this musical jewellery box that kept me company through many heartbreaks and high school dramas. Thinking about those times now fills me with nostalgia. But for some reason, a small crystal vanity box instantly transports me back to that era. It’s amazing how visuals and memories are so interconnected. But enough sentimentalism! 🙂 I can tell you for sure that this small beautiful accessory will make our room shine bright like a diamond!
- 14. Glam up your room with silver mirrored wall decorations
I’m picturing two gorgeous silver mirrored holders wall decorations positioned above our bedside tables. I absolutely love the sense of symmetry in my bedroom decor, it brings a feeling of balance and harmony. Oh, the magic!
This type of stylish decorations will totally glam up our room decor! Not to mention how well they can blend with two silver mirrored bedside tables. Apart from that, they can be very versatile as well. We can create a romantic room design by placing some candles onto the holders. Or we can display our favourite family pictures to keep them always close. It’s the perfect time to get creative and make our space feel even more special! What would you do with these beautiful decorations?
