Whether gold makes you think of wealthy, old-world palaces or modern Hollywood style, there’s no doubt about it: 21st century design is experiencing a serious gold rush.
When used in the home, gold adds sophistication and a sense of class, while the soft yellow undertones create an uplifting, cosy feel. Gold naturally enhances and illuminates other shades around it, making it easy to work into existing colour layouts. Layer matt shades of copper and white-gold to add richness and depth to a large room or take inspiration from today’s architects by adding vibrant metallic statements into neutral spaces to create a sleek, contemporary look. For a modern feel, combine rich panels of yellowy gold with crisp white and soft lime or mix ruby and deep violet with bleached-out golds for an unexpected twist on a regular colour layout.
