All opinions are mine and mine alone.
Everyone wants to remodel their house to keep up with the trends. Everyone wants a house that is glamorous, glitzy, shiny, and happening all year round. Of course, a glamorous house is a treat to the eyes. But it doesn’t have to cost you a fortune. With gold being the new black, you can revamp your house in the budget.
Gold accents are a hot trend right now and I can say it without a doubt, this classy trend is here to stay. Enlisted below are some fun, inexpensive steps you can take to add glamour to your home interior.
Quirky Wall
The best to start infusing your home with glamour and shine? Quirky Walls. Ditch the normal and go gold with walls at home. To complement the golden touch of your interiors, go retro with gold painted polka dots or simply pain the entire wall gold. If you want a simple yet vintage look for your walls, opt for gold-rimmed picture frames and hang them up there.
Golden Lighting
Want to infuse your home with metallic charm? A stylish chandelier is the best accent to start with. Pick a chandelier that has more glass, but is not too heavy on the metal. Then add a touch of gold paint on the arms.
A golden chandelier can give your living room, dining room, and bedroom more subtle yet elegant feels. Yes, you read that right. Break the rules and consider adding chandelier to more rooms than just the dining room.
Prominent Wood Work
Gold and wood are a hot combination! Thanks to the internet and the rising popularity of edible gold leaf, the online world is flooded with ideas to gild furniture with gold leaf sheets and paint.
If you are thinking to pull off this look, consider having rugs, pillows and curtains throughout your home that have accents of gold colours. If this is too much gold for your taste, consider switching to neutral-coloured accessories for the room.
Gold Accessories
“If your candles burn at both ends, they won’t last the night”, she said. “What if my candles are not meant to burn at all”, he replied.
This might sound funny, but has some sense to it. Not all candles are meant to burn, especially when it comes to adding a dash of gold to your interior decor. Add a few glittery, stylish gold candles to your coffee table and watch a little shine go a long-long way.
If you particularly do not want candles, then consider having golden centrepieces on your table or accessorize the tabletop with a shiny golden runner.
Golden Accents
One of the most simple gold accents to add to any wall or tabletop in your room is a picture frame. Simply add frames of cherished photos with intricate gold borders and watch the room sparkle and glow. If you already have frames in your room but want them to be sparkly, consider applying edible gold leaf to them.
Pictures framed in golden fashion can make your home immediately look more expensive and elegant.
Window Upgrade
The best thing about incorporating gold in your interior decor is that every colour practically complements it. Mix and match your curtains, and give them a new dimension by adding a gold sash on the top of your curtains.
If you don’t want to change your curtains, you can consider changing up just the hooks. Adding golden hooks will give you the sophistication you are craving for without needing a full curtain makeover.
Final Thoughts
When it comes to adding a hint of glamour to your interiors, it is essential to strike the right balance of gold, without looking tacky. So do not go overboard with gold leaf gilding. Using gold leaf to add glitter and glamour to your home will earn you compliments from one and all.
