Gold is one of those magical colors that can add a hint of glam to nearly any room of the home. To infuse gold into one’s home décor you don’t have to be literal in your interpretation but can use elements such as brass and even various shades of yellow. Gone are taboos such as mixing silver and gold, these days you can mix metals, and create a cohesive look that shines.
When looking for creative ways to infuse gold into your home, here are some top tips.
- Incorporate gold using accessories and accents such as toss pillows, vases and accent pieces.
- Look for opportunities to infuse the use of gold in unexpected ways such as using area rugs and textiles.
- Consider artwork with gold or yellow accents.
- Purchase furniture pieces with gold elements such as handles, feet or bases.
- Mix silver elements with hints of gold when looking for a softer more muted overall look and feel.
- Use a metal framed mirror. Mirrors are a wonderful way to incorporate a gold element into a room.
- Use an area rug as a springboard to your color story. Area rugs can act to both introduce a color or element or to tie a room together with color.
- Anchor a space with key case goods such as a sideboard or a console that has ornate or decorative hardware.
- Utilize elements such as trims for upholstered pieces that bring in a gold element.
- Paint. From gold leaf walls to repainting a piece of furniture using gold trim, accent or overall color, paint is a wonderful way to introduce an element of gold and glam.
