If you're craving a splash of glamor and energy in your home, take a cue from Sylvester Stallone's stunning living room. Nestled in Palm Beach, this space is a bold statement in gold. Known for its timeless appeal, gold is often used sparingly – but not in Stallone's dazzling domain.
Designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard transformed the room into a golden paradise, enveloping the walls with a custom De Gournay mural. The room shimmers with a metallic rug and saffron-colored bouclé armchairs, capturing the essence of luxury.
“As you may know, I love the glow of gold," wrote Martyn in an Instagram post last summer. "The Palm Beach home of Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin Stallone gave me the perfect canvas to indulge. Everywhere you turn, there’s a moment that reflects light.”
This living room is the epitome of indulgence, starting with its breathtaking mural. Mixing botanical motifs, undulating patterns, and hints of cheetah print, the mural is truly captivating. Sunlight sets the room ablaze, and with gold tones stretching across the ceiling, the space feels radiant.
While the shimmering walls steal the show, the armchairs are equally captivating. They add a touch of softness, balancing the opulent gold with a more intimate feel. Gold can be a bold choice, but when used in upholstery, it makes an unforgettable statement.
Despite their boldness, these gold elements create a welcoming atmosphere. The geometric rug, with its earthy hues, ties the space together, showing that even lavish designs can balance sophistication with comfort.
Designer Jen Baxter notes, "Metallic finishes always play an important role in a room, but there are more ways than people think to incorporate them." With textured finishes like burnished and antiqued gold, rooms gain dimension, reflecting light differently and enhancing uniform color palettes.
Sylvester's living room is a testament to how metallic spaces, when crafted with care, can exude luxury and personality. It's a daring design scheme that's hard not to love.
