Old Hollywood style is exemplified by William Haines, who started out as an actor in the 1920’s. He lived a grand, celebrity life with friends like Joan Crawford, Carole Lombard and George Burns. His elegant way of living transformed into his design business and later into his passion for furniture design. His furniture was known for its low seating style.

The photo below shows Haines style at it’s best. He captures all the elements that make that Old Hollywood style so glamorous.

Of course I like the wall design. And, paired with that amazing couch and lovely red chairs the look oozes old Hollywood style. If you want to try this look but don’t have a carpenter handy, use a Casart Faux Bois peel and stick wallpaper instead.



The transformation could be quite extraordinary.
