Gold in Your Décor

Gold in Your Décor

The trend of using Gold in décor started nearly 50 years ago. It was closely associated to the rich and royal family. It is a sign of luxury, now-a-days the trend of gold is emerging once again but also to the middle class. Today, let us check the tips to introduce gold in your everyday décor.

• Do not use gold for door handles or bedposts or anything that will be touched and handled frequently
• Gold wall panelling and gold trim or gold borders, work well with almost any other non-metallic color
• Use gold in ceilings and mouldings, mainly as sleek, narrow borders. PVC mouldings incorporating ivory with gold, or wood with gold are cost-effective and easily available
• Choose rose gold over any other shade of gold, as this attractive colour works well for tableware, cutlery, lamps and even wallpaper.
• Paintings with a golden frame or a regular wood/ ivory frame with a sleek golden line painted on, are interesting options
• Chromium-and-gold plating and gold plating on hardware, are great ways to introduce the color into your décor.

Genuine gold plating is indeed quite expensive but for all practical purposes gold isn’t any more expensive than any other metallic color. The major point to note while using gold is that it should neither be too subtle to notice or too glaring to keep a look at.
