Opulence can be used to create a sense of drama or theatricality in design by using extravagant, lavish and luxurious elements in the design. For example, using rich and bold colors, such as gold or deep reds, can create a sense of opulence and grandeur. Incorporating ornate and highly detailed patterns or textures, such as velvet or silk, can also add to the dramatic effect. The use of larger-than-life elements, such as oversized chandeliers or intricate sculptures, can also create a sense of theatricality and spectacle. Additionally, the use of reflective surfaces, such as mirrors or polished metals, can add to the opulence of the design and create a sense of grandeur. Ultimately, opulence should be incorporated in a smart and tasteful way to create a sense of drama without overpowering the space or design.
