Hollywood Regency Meets Moroccan Rug: Glamour with Global Soul

Hollywood Regency is all about drama, shine, and confidence. Think lacquered finishes, sculptural furniture, and bold geometry. A Moroccan rug adds warmth, movement, and handcrafted texture to that glamorous stage. The result is magnetic. You get a room that gleams yet feels lived-in, polished yet soulful. The key is balance. Pair high-gloss materials with soft, Berber pile. Mix metallic accents with earthy wool. Let the rug’s organic pattern loosen the room’s sharp lines. With a few targeted choices, your space reads as couture, not costume. You’ll enjoy a home that channels Old Hollywood flair while embracing global character and artisanal authenticity.
