Decor Inspirations: Accessorizing with Gold

By Simone Design Blog @HomeSpire

Recently I’ve been scouting out accessories to complement all the renovations we’ve been making on our home this year.  I’m looking for things that will add a touch of glam and style, so I’ve been tempted by accessories featuring gold plating or gold leaf.  I’ve seen some really beautiful interiors where gold accessories add a stylish pop of color and I’d love to achieve that in my own house. However, my home décor has a mixture of traditional and contemporary styles and the accessories will have to complement it. I’ve put together a selection of images that I found to be inspiring.

An arrangement of flowers can have a very classy look in a gold vase.

Here’s an office wall gallery with gold-framed art. Now that definitely adds a touch of style to a home office! I might consider getting new frames for my artwork after seeing this.

The gold leaf on this Louis XIV chair makes it so classy! Isn’t it stunning?

If I could convince my husband, I would love to have gold-plated bar cart.

Doesn’t this look luxurious? Wow!

A gold-leaf lampshade. It could the focal point in any room.

A bathroom door knob made of a gemstone and a golden base. Simple but gorgeous! It makes you wonder what awaits you behind the door. It just begs you to open it.

This might be the glorious room found behind the bathroom door.

How lovely this space is! I would love to see my living room look like this during the spring/summer months. Everything looks so light and bright. The gold-plated vases and the coffee table give it a classy and glamorous look.

These are just a few of the ways you can use gold accessories in your home. The accessories can be simple or extravagant, depending on the look you are aiming for. What are your thoughts on decorating with gold?
