Beginning in the 1930s, Tinseltown's Golden Age inspired a design aesthetic revered as the pinnacle of glamour. Known as Hollywood Regency, it was built on opulence, leaning on midcentury modern elements and a whole lot of flair. Today, the style champions eclecticism with lacquered furniture, brass accents, and luxurious textiles rich with pattern at its forefront.

The key to emulating the look without risking a gaudy finish is all about attention to detail. (Read: You don't need to splurge on big-ticket furniture pieces to get the job done.) Cue the Hollywood Regency accessories that will help you channel the best of the era.

These colorful trays, available in five lustrous finishes, are about as versatile as it gets. Use one to corral the odds and ends that tend to accumulate on the coffee table or as a mobile serving station at your next cocktail party.

The starburst motif is a Hollywood Regency design icon. You can find it in the form of a gilded mirror or an equally flashy wall sconce, but we prefer it as a statement-making light fixture set above the dining table.

3. Ballard Designs X-Bench, $349
