All things gold and brass have been making their presence felt in decor world for some time now and 2011 is going to be no different. I thought I might as well share some of my favourite interiors with a hint of gold. I do have a tiny magpie hidden deep inside me...still my love for gold and glitter is fairly restrained ...I like it best when it is used sparingly, much like a favourite jewel, as is evident in most of these images .....
The first three images are a perfect representation of mixing just a touch of gold with a neutral palatte to enhance a room...gold works beautifully with the whites, beiges and black...

I have a weekness for book shelves and this gorgeous etagere would be perfect in a living room to display artbooks as well as works of art...

This is one of my absolute favourite kitchens and the gold/brass hardware on the pendants and cabinets only adds to its elegant appeal...

I love the understated elegance of the gold-leafed coffee table and how it picks out the yellow of the drapes...

When talking about gold touched rooms, how can one forget the much blogged about and drooled over dressing room in Aerin Lauder's Manhattan home..with its circa 1970 gold-base Gabriella Crespi desk and gilded french chair it is way beyond gorgeous...

Finally...a room with a whole lot of gold but done so masterfully that alongwith the background and that amazing light fixture it looks like installation art!!

I'm placing touches of Gold around my house. It's adds a warm yet glam feel to a room..
Never one to hold back, I am going all out with a love of gold that far exceeds "just a touch"! Of course, this isn't always in the slightest bit practical as most clients don't share my obsession, but I do like to sneak just a touch of it into my schemes. {My own house has quite a lot of it, but then it is a 1970s home so I can get away with it. In my mind anyway....}
Loving all of your selections, but the last one is just complete heaven. Gold, yum. Velvet, yum. Perfect!
And thank you for the lovely comment! Quite touched!
Jen- gold does bring intant glamour to a room..i'd love to see how you use it in your beautiful home!
Blue fruit- i'm sure a lot of gold can also work well depending on how it is handled...just like in the last image!
Hi Meenal...thank you for dropping by my blog & commenting. I do have some gold-hue items (mainly accessories, frames, etc.) throughout my house but just a touch! I love the images you used to illustrate how well a little touch of gold, like black can make a room! xoxo Beth
