3 Golden Design Tips
By Rebecca Wardon, Interior Design Manager
Gold has always held an allure that sets it apart, especially in home design. But a little gold can go a long way. Here are 3 tips that can help you strike it rich with a healthy balance and bring gold into your style.
1. KEEP IT SIMPLE
Subtlety is of the utmost importance when designing with gold. It’s a great accent but becomes very overpowering very quickly. That’s why many people stay away from it. Start by bringing in small golden décor before choosing more permanent features like fixtures or faucets. And make sure you understand that gold needs to work with your style, not the other way around.
2. KNOW WHERE TO USE IT
There are no hard and fast rules about where gold can be found in your style, but here are some common places to find gold in the home. Kitchen and bathroom faucets, light fixtures, cabinet hardware, and any décor you can think of. One of the benefits of using gold in your home is that you can find a lot of pieces to fit a ton of different styles.
3. UNDERSTAND THE TREND
One of the reasons we’re seeing gold surge in popularity these days is because it lends warmth to modern and contemporary styles while still remaining sophisticated. If your style utilizes a lot of whites, blacks, or grays, gold is a great accent that will really stand out while not taking over.
The most important thing is making sure your look is yours. And if you’re looking for a new home that’s yours too, talk to a Bielinski New Home Consultant today.
