When I think of the Cosmopolitan, I think of one word..GLAM. With all of the hotel's ornate chandeliers, bold colors, and unique furniture shapes, everything is so extravagant. I love it! However, if you have read my blog or seen the before & after pics of my home, you know that my design style isn't exactly contemporary or glamorous in any way. If I had to categorize my style I would say it is more transitional/ traditional. So, even though my home looks nothing like the Cosmopolitan, this is how I would bring a little bit of Vegas into my home...
A room inspired by the Cosmopolitan or Vegas, in general, wouldn't be complete without gold. I LOVE having gold accents throughout my house and my design for this room would be no different. The wall sconces and nightstand have gold detailing, which adds a slightly more luxurious feel to what would otherwise have been a standard white and blue room.
I chose tufted furniture pieces with soft, touchable fabric to emulate the decor of the Cosmopolitan. However, instead of choosing a chair with a more contemporary and funky shape, I wanted to use a more "traditional" chair. The arm-chair I chose has a high back and great detailing along the sides and bottom, which adds interest to the room without being too drastically different from what I'm used to choosing for myself.
I also chose a cream-colored rug with a more modern, geometric pattern to anchor the room. The colors in the rug don't clash with any of the furniture pieces I have chosen and the simple, geometric pattern ties in the with geometric shapes of the nightstand.
I love this room! I can just imagine these pieces in a room with sexy, smokey gray-colored walls and beautiful, velvety charcoal-colored blackout shades. This room has a touch of cozy and a touch of glam. Nothing looks too modern or contemporary, but the design isn't entirely traditional either. So this is my answer to Vegas.com's challenge to #bringLVhome. Taking from either your own experiences or pictures you have seen of Las Vegas, how would you bring Vegas home?
**UPDATE**
Opps! I was so excited to design this room I totally forgot to mention the inspiration photos I used on Vegas.com for the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Check them out at: Cosmopolitan Hotel.
