Does this sound like an Old Hollywood bedroom?
Thanks to all your answers, this is what I have come up with for an Old Hollywood bedroom..... Is there any way I can improve?
- Cream walls with one feature wall being a deep purple
-black and white patterned bed sheets
-Black vanity table to match my other black and white furniture
-A gramaphone with vinyl records
-A stand hanging from a wall for my guitar
-black and white photos in a black frame
- A red rug
-A purple lamp shade with trimmings
- A black table cloth for my bedside table
-Lots of pillows for my bed
- A round upholstered seat for the edge of my bed
Thanks.... again. How can I improve?

I like your idea, but it’s not strictly Old Hollywood. It reminds me of something about 20 years later than that - the 60s James Bond sin pad. If you want to go that way I’d suggest you have an untrimmed, modernistic lamp and an old-fashioned black dial telephone (or a phone that looks like a dial telephone - they make push-button phones that look like dial phones). Look to the Bond movies and to other 60s films for inspiration.
Old Hollywood was a 1940s phenomenon. It was all about romantic, ultra-feminine women’s bedrooms featuring big round or heart-shaped beds with lots of pillows, lots of draped fabric (even on the walls - think wall-wide curtains), fringed lamps, and of course a princess telephone and upholstered furniture, preferably French Provincial with white painted or gilded wood trim. Usually the walls, carpet, bedding, lampshades, and upholstery were all the same shade of pastel satin - often a pastel gold or pink.
