Set a Gold Standard in Your Home With These Top-Tier Decor Ideas

Right now the one thing that is on athletes’ and viewers’ minds alike — gold.

While adding gold to a trophy case is something many of us won’t have the chance to do, that doesn’t mean other gold home decor is out of reach. Here are our expert tips for integrating this luxurious hue into your interior design.

Accent Pieces

Gold accent pieces are the perfect way to introduce this regal color into your home without overwhelming the space. Think of small items like picture frames, vases or decorative trays. These touches of gold may seem subtle, but they can bring a sense of elegance and warmth. For instance, a gold lamp on a bedside table or furniture with gold accents can enhance the aesthetic of your room and make it feel more luxurious.

When choosing these pieces, try mixing their finishes to add variety. Matte gold and polished gold each bring their own type of shine to the table and work together to keep your space interesting.

Wall Art

Make a bold yet tasteful statement with gold wall art. Hanging your favorite piece in a metallic gold frame won’t just make it stand out — it also will add texture to your walls. If you want a centerpiece to the room, try hanging artwork featuring gold elements. The color will naturally draw the eye while adding a touch of depth to your decor.

Make your golden gallery feel even more sophisticated by placing pieces where they can catch natural light. This simple trick will instantly enhance their shine and visual appeal, creating a vibrant environment you may never want to leave.

Lighting Fixtures

Lights are needed to brighten any room, so why not make yours stand out  with a gold lighting fixture? A stunning gold chandelier can act as a focal point of a room, while pendant lights and table lamps can create a warm, inviting glow. Gold lighting fixtures are the perfect blend of function and style, casting a soft yet dazzling light at the same time.

Mirrors

A strategically placed gold-framed mirror can create a sense of space and light, making rooms appear larger and brighter. Hang one in your entryway to make a grand first impression or in your bedroom to add depth to the space.

To enhance their effect, place gold-framed mirrors where they can reflect natural light. This not only makes the room appear more spacious but also highlights the mirror’s golden frame, adding a touch of glamour to your decor.

Bathroom Fixtures

Don't overlook the bathroom when incorporating gold into your home. Surrounding yourself with gold fixtures such as faucets, towel racks and showerheads can create moments of luxury throughout your day.

The bathroom is another space you’ll want to make sure your gold accents are balanced. The muted white walls of a shower will naturally pair well with a gold showerhead and shower valves. Other areas, like the sink basin or the wall behind it, may need to be changed to black or gray to complement a gold faucet. Together, these elements can transform your bathroom into a harmonious, spa-like environment.
