Inside My Maximalist Hollywood Dressing Room 

Few interiors whisper “subtle” and then shout “fabulous!” like a space imagined by Siobhan Murphy of Interior Curve. For her latest project, she teamed up with creative talent Lucia-Kreate to transform a dressing room into a jaw-dropping scene of Hollywood glamour, gold, and unapologetic maximalism.

The result? A space where vintage movie-star magic meets fearless modern expression, with Guild Lane’s paints and Orac Decor’s architectural mouldings playing starring roles.

After years of dreaming, pinning, and scheming, I’ve finally brought my vision of the ultimate Hollywood dressing room to life—and let me tell you, she’s definitely not shy, says Siobhan.

This is maximalism redefined—from the curves of the custom-built wardrobe arches to the flick of a golden light switch. Siobhan, together with Lucia, brought her vision to life by starting with a humble IKEA Pax system and turning it into a statement. The addition of architectural detail through Orac Decor’s decorative mouldings and coving, finished in Guild Lane paints, turned practicality into pure theatre. 

Built-In Beauty

 
At the heart of the transformation is the trusty IKEA Pax wardrobe system—practical, yes, but we didn’t leave it looking flat-packed for long.

To give it a fully built-in feel, we used decorative mouldings and traditional coving, all of which I lovingly painted in Guild Lane’s gold to dial up the Old Hollywood opulence.

We custom-built arches around each unit and added a bespoke dressing table, turning the structure into a showstopping centrepiece.

With Guild Lane’s GILD gold, the finishing touches on the Orac Decor features shine—literally. From the mirror surround to the Hollywood bulbs, everything is gilded, glowing, and gorgeously intentional.

A Maximalist’s Cocktail

The colour palette is a maximalist's cocktail: verdigris green, coral pinks, burnt oranges, and lashings of gold.

I used Verdigris Jubilee by Guild Lane, a shade I fell in love with on a previous project. It’s rich, characterful, and has just the right vintage tint to anchor the glam without overpowering it.

From the wardrobe drawers to the bold built-ins, Verdigris Jubilee sets the tone—lush, expressive, and quietly commanding. It pairs beautifully with Lucia’s styling touches and eye for balance, bringing grounded elegance to the bold mix.

The wardrobe drawers were painted to match, and for a little surprise-and-delight moment, I even wallpapered inside them in leopard print. And the jewellery drawers, painted with Super GILD Gold.

Pattern, Personality & Palm Tree Light

From the moment you step into the space, your eye is drawn to the layers of pattern and texture that bring the dressing room to life. Every surface has been considered—not just for function, but for storytelling.

The wardrobe doors? Wallpapered in my own Blossom Fandango art deco inspired wallpaper, a medley of fans, feathers and full on maximalism.

It’s this kind of detail—the extra, the unexpected—that makes the space sing. With styling support from Lucia, the room leans fully into fantasy, where every corner tells a story and no element is left untouched. Together, they created a space that feels immersive, theatrical, and unapologetically bold. 

When it came to styling, I didn’t hold back. A leopard lips sofa (yes, it’s as fabulous as it sounds) adds sass and seating, while a gold palm tree light throws glorious shadows that feel straight out of a Slim Aarons photograph. The leopard and floral rug by Wendy Morrison grounds the space with pattern and punch.

A Space Worth Dressing Up For

This isn’t just a beautifully styled room—it’s a celebration of self-expression. Here, dressing becomes ritual, creativity meets confidence, and fashion lives proudly on display.

And of course, no Hollywood dressing room would be complete without a maximalist wardrobe to match the setting. Think rails dripping in kaftans, sequins, statement dresses, and playful accessories—a space not just to get ready, but to celebrate dressing itself.

With Lucia-Kreate’s creative energy layered into the mix, this project sings with personality and polish. It’s a masterclass in bold interiors—and a reminder that great design is both artful and unafraid.
