Gold! Gold! Gold!

Gold interiors are back! For a long while gold as a decorative choice was something admired quietly, seen as far too ostentatious for the mass market to apply in their own home due, in part, to gold having always been associated with the aristocracy. However, thankfully, the time has come for us all to add a little royalty to our home décor. And our style choices have increased; white gold, rose gold, yellow gold! You can find any shade to fit your aesthetic.

One of the easiest ways to implement gold decor is to go for accessories. A little bit of any kindof gold can update your look and add a touch of class to any home. One of the best accessories to start with is mirrors, gold mirrors are traditionally chic and scream glamour. Here is part of our collection:

For a DIY gold look why not try this cheap but amazing idea I found on pinterest using left over jam jars or mason jars. Perfect for storing dressing table and desk accessories:

1.You will need 1 can of shiny gold spray paint

2.A selection of you favourite small plastic animals (try ebay for a small set costing less than £5)

3.Glue your chosen creature to the lid (preferable with a glue gun for ease)

4.Once dry, spray 1-2 thin coats of spray paint over the lid and animal

The most fabulous way to implement gold into your home would be through furniture. Understandably people shy away from gold furniture due to fear of it looking gaudy. However choosing smaller pieces can bypass this effect and add a chic finish. Think less Vegas and more Versailles.
