4 ways to use gold as a home accent
Gone are the days where gold came in tacky shades. In the interior styling world, Gold is often used as a colour accent for a touch of glamour. Unless you wish to live in a palace covered entirely out of gold and shiny textures, please avoid using gold in every single corner of your home.
Let’s have a look at what are the different material options of gold out there.
Antique Gold- It is made to look weathered and worn over time. Found in vintage items and they look great in trays or trinket boxes.
Brushed Gold- It looks like it has been smothered out with a paintbrush. It’s perfect as a matt finishing on door knobs and handles.
Satin Gold- It looks like a mix between Matt and Polish Gold. This shade is getting more popular and looks great in lighting fixtures.
Polished Gold- It looks like a mirror and it is reflective. This shade when used in excess can cheapen the look. Try getting this shade in smaller decorative objects and a mix of it is always fun.
Hammered Gold-It looks like it has been punched by a hammer. This effect on any decorative item can feel artisanal and well crafted.
