Fashionable interiors: bet on gold pots and accessories!

Gold in interiors?

There has been a trend in space arrangements for several seasons. Undoubtedly, an important moment for its constitution was the famous Paris Maison&Objet fair, held in January 2020. The event highlighted the role of gold accents in interior decoration. We liked the gold unction on the tiles, gold appliances, lamps, gold fixtures and gold accessories. And rightly so! The fashion for gold continues, and this color – full of glitz and glamour – appears in interior designs in various styles and enters into very different combinations.

Symbolism of gold and its decorative qualities

No surprise there. After all, since ancient times, spaces and buildings that were particularly representative, such as temples or palaces, were directly dripping with gold. Gold as a bullion – including bullion used as part of gold interior decorations – was associated with prestige, wealth, elegance, everything precious, valuable, perfect. Today we are far from overdoing it with gold accessories, but we still connect the golden color with sunshine, warmth, love, positive energy, beauty. And gold decorations bring it all into our interiors. They fit into living rooms in oriental, glamour, art déco, boho or shabby chic style, but also into modern, minimalist, industrial or Scandinavian style arrangements. It all depends on the proportion and quantity! Combined with black, gold accessories and accents add chic and elegance to interiors, and they also blend perfectly with the most fashionable earth colors of the upcoming 2022 season – deep green, beige, brown. It should also not be forgotten that gold has different shades: from copper or slightly brownish to yellowish, it looks great in gloss, but it also looks interesting in an aged or matte and dimmed version. In a word: there is something… golden for everyone.

How to play with gold to make the arrangement shine?

The rule of thumb is one: since gold is a strong and distinctive color, it should be introduced into designs with moderation and taste, and be sure to keep an eye on it to blend in with the overall color tone of the room. An arrangement in which gold is the dominant color will not work, gold accents in the living room ring a bell, and gold accessories in other rooms look from every corner. Gold decorations should be delicate and introduced skillfully. They are supposed to add brightness, color and warmth to the space, not overwhelm it. They are a flavor, not the main course.
