#1 Black &... gold

Black and gold are an exceptionally beautiful, contrasting pair that always make a dazzling impression, and this season they've certainly caught the eye of many designers. Gold and black accessories look incredibly elegant together; they are bold, uncompromising, and incredibly striking. In too great a quantity, they can create a rather gloomy atmosphere, but used sparingly, they'll give a modern touch to any room. Opt for a lamp or a candlestick in these colours and get ready to receive compliments from all your guests.

Our advice

Candlesticks are indispensable for creating atmosphere in interiors. We wrote about how to match them to your style in our Magazine: Candlesticks: Always in Style.

#2 Gold, fit for a king

You can use gold in interiors in many ways. It's often said that rich embellishments look best against a neutral background... However, you don't have to listen to others. Classic never gets old, so if you're tempted by gold ornaments, don't hold back! In your kingdom, your rules apply. Whether you love original textures or a Victorian-era design aesthetic, you're sure to find something to suit your taste. A gold candlestick or a retro clock will look absolutely splendid when paired with wine red or deep green.

Tip

Gold also suits all kinds of unusual stylings. Check out our Magazine: How to create a Wonderland in your home.

#3 Minimalist gold

If you're not a fan of the 'opulent' approach, you don't have to give up on gold accessories. It might seem that gold and minimalism are contradictory, but when used appropriately, shimmering accents will shine even in interiors decorated with simplicity and without unnecessary frills. If you want to add a touch of sparkle to a minimalist decor, stick to the rule: a striking colour goes hand in hand with the simplest possible form. Don't go wild with textures and unusual shapes, so that objects aren't too flashy and don't overwhelm a harmonious interior. Opt for a distinctive, single element, such as a vase or a lamp, or for a few subtle trinkets.

Our advice

Accessories can completely change the character of an interior! Read about how to achieve the desired effect in our Magazine: Vases, cushions, figurines... how to change the interior of a living room with small accessories.

#4 A gilded kitchen

Gold elements in the kitchen are a scorching hot trend! Gold platters surprise no one, but a whisk or a soup ladle in this noble colour proves that elegance knows no bounds. Copper handles on kitchen accessories, brass containers, or perhaps even kitchen robots? Your kitchen counters aren't the only things that can gleam! With such helpers in the kitchen, even simple daily tasks will become stylish and effective. Gold cutlery will make your table setting look exceptionally elegant. You can choose from cutlery sets or individual pieces, such as spoons or dinner forks. Gold accessories look beautiful in every kitchen: dark and modern, white and minimalist, rustic and traditional... There are no limitations here. See how the Bloomingville Gold collection, for example, looks, and you'll surely want to gild your kitchen!
