Feelin’ Like Gold: Using Gold in Interior Design
Gold is a beautiful, fun color especially for savoring the last of summer! In interior design this metallic hue infuses spaces with a touch of opulence, warmth and positivity. In August’s blog, we explore how to best use gold in your home design.
The enchanting color of gold evokes luxury and can truly elevate your space. Whether you opt for a light gold accent or a bolder statement, for centuries the sun kissed hue of gold has been associated with prosperity and refinement. In a room, gold can create a warm, welcoming ambiance with a touch of grandeur. Bring elegance to your home with a gleaming chandelier or more discreet gold accent in your decor. A strategic placement can make all the difference because less can be more with gold. You can create a harmonious balance between the opulence of gold and the existing furniture for a well-curated, sophisticated space.
Another reason gold can really create balance is because of its ability to compliment various materials, textures and colors. Whether its soft pastels, deep jewel tones or earthy neutral tones, gold variations can mesh well with these colors. For example, gold coupled with navy creates a sense of richness while pairing gold with blush tones brings a tone of romance. The possibilities are endless for this versatile hue!
Wondering where to bring gold into your home? Traditionally, you often see the color in living rooms and bedrooms but we think bathrooms and kitchens can also benefit from the touch of gold. Imagine a gilded mirror in a bathroom, reflecting light and enhancing your morning routine. Or perhaps the effect of gold-finished hardware effortlessly transforming your kitchen cabinets and drawers for a more upscale cooking space.
“The gold color is an invitation to dream and to travel,’ says Jamie Beriestain, founder, of Jamie Beriestain an international interior design and architectural firm. ‘I don’t use it a lot, but sometimes it can fill a space with light. I loved that the kitchen, a room that is usually not the “main character” of the flat, became the center of attention.”
Gold in interior design is more than a trend! Its allure has transcended time with an air of luxury and warmth. From light accents to bolder statement pieces, this color’s versatility allows for a seamless blending of aesthetics. So, if you’d like to enhance your home with more luxury this year, incorporate an enchanting gold finish, gold-plated hardware or a metallic gold accessory.
