Adding a touch of gold to your home décor is one of the top trends this Autumn. A few home accessories can add tasteful definition to your interior design. The key is choosing the right options, whether that’s opulent gold lighting choices or the odd plant pot and picture frame. Gold goes well with both dark and light room colours, whether that’s accenting a dark rose, or adding opulence to the currently very popular palm green leaf designs, used subtly with whites and pastel tones also works well.
Here we take a closer look at the latest gold accessories you may want to consider adding to your home:
Gold Lighting
Gold light fittings can add an antique feel to your home and there are some really nice retro designs to be found if you search online.
Dunelm have a pretty extensive range including a stunning Torto Rose Gold Ceiling Fitting that combines the reflective property of the metal and the diffusing properties of crystals to create a really opulent ceiling light.
If you’re searching for a gold side lamp to adorn an area like the bedroom Wayfair have a gold finish lamp with a woven base that will go well with practically any colour scheme.
Gold Vases and Plant Pots
Having plants and flowers around the home is not only great for the décor it can have a significant impact on the air quality. If you want vases and planters that look the part, gold is an attractive option.
H&M have a tall embossed gold-coloured vase that has simple lines but would look absolutely fantastic on any hall or dining room table.
If you’re looking for traditional plant pot holders, Marks and Spencer’s offer a set of three gold planters with legs that will suit fans of retro designs.
Gold Shelving
Pink and gold go well together and it’s an attractive colour combination for an area like the bathroom or bedroom. Melody Maison’s circular wall shelf really stands out. With pink edges and gold inlays, it looks simple and attractive, great for smaller ornaments or items of makeup or skincare products.
Gold Cushions and Throws
Gold cushions might seem a little too kitsch for some but combined with the right décor they can have a real impact. They’re also an inexpensive way to add some luxurious colour to your home design. If you’re looking for something funky, the John Lewis Maxi Spot Cushion harks back to the sixties and will bring a little fun to your couch. A gold throw will provide a sense of warmth to the room it’s in. When it comes to fabrics, you have a much greater scope. Mustard colours are certainly worth investigating. Homescapes sell a sumptuous ribbed mustard throw that looks fantastic, especially in a room that is lacking in colour.
Opulent Frames
Gallery walls are all the rage and we particularly liked this gold framed family gallery from At Home with Framebridge on Pinterest. The family portraits in these gilt frames look simply stunning. What would you frame?
Gold on the side
Side, hall and coffee tables are all available in golden hues, we loved this marble and golden metallic table from Zara – the contrast of the cool marble and warm metal is very effective!
These are just a few of our golden favourites which could help transform your home décor. Gold doesn’t have to be brash to make an impact and there are plenty of products available for you to add a real shine to your home.
