The Rise of Hollywood Regency

Originating on the West Coast of the USA during the 1930s and reaching its height of popularity in the 1960s, Hollywood Regency combines cinematic glamour with mid-century sophistication. Characterised by polished surfaces, rich tones and high-impact details, the style creates interiors designed to make an impression, transporting us to an era when cocktail hour could feel like an everyday occasion.

Polished, Bold and Glamorous

Think polished brass, gilded finishes and chrome alongside jewel tones, high-gloss surfaces, oversized statement pieces and ornate detailing. Dramatic lighting, sculptural coffee tables, decorative mirrors, bar carts and geometric patterns all contribute to the style’s exuberant character, with tactile materials and bold contrasts creating maximum visual impact.

Hollywood Regency Reimagined

Our upcoming Modern Design & Decorative Art auction features a selection of works that capture this glamorous aesthetic, including both period pieces and contemporary designs that offer a modern interpretation of Hollywood Regency.
