There’s something about polished brass that just feels right in a space. It’s warm, reflective, and has that perfect balance of old-school luxury and modern sophistication. It’s no surprise that it plays such a huge role in Hollywood Regency décor—one of the most glamorous and timeless interior styles out there.
I’ve always been drawn to that high-drama, high-glamour look, and my own living room is definitely inspired by Hollywood Regency design. Brass is a big part of that. From gleaming brass lamps to ornate mirrors and little decorative touches, polished brass is everywhere in my space. It catches the light beautifully, adds warmth, and brings that vintage elegance that I love.
Hollywood Regency is all about mixing bold and beautiful—mirrored surfaces, velvet furniture, lacquered finishes, and, of course, metallic accents. Brass fits right in because it has that rich, golden tone that feels luxe without being over-the-top. Whether it’s a statement coffee table with a brass base, a vintage bar cart, or even just a few candlesticks, it instantly elevates a room.
One of my favorite things about brass is that it ages gracefully. Some pieces in my collection have developed a gorgeous patina over time, while others I keep polished to a high shine. That’s the beauty of it—you can go for that perfectly gleaming, just-out-of-1950s-Hollywood look, or embrace a more lived-in, vintage feel.
If you love the Hollywood Regency aesthetic as much as I do, adding brass accents is one of the easiest ways to bring that vibe into your home. Lighting, mirrors, bar accessories, furniture—there are so many ways to incorporate it. And trust me, once you start, it’s hard to stop.
While my personal collection is staying right where it is (for now!), I always keep an eye out for amazing vintage brass pieces for my shop. If you’re looking for something special to bring that old Hollywood magic into your space, check out my latest finds. You never know what kind of treasure you’ll come across! ✨
