Ah, this luxurious gold color in the interior of 2016: all the gold glitters!

Gold is a popular interior color that has been used to decorate homes for centuries. Today, golden accents in design are not only an elite classic solution, but also the chic of modern styles. It’s just important not to overdo it with the amount of this color in the design and find out what the gold color goes best with in the interior.

This is what we will do!

Golden shade in detail

The golden tone is multifaceted and rich, it can be used both in accessories and decoration, and in completely different styles. However, an interior in golden tones requires, above all, moderation..

But that’s not all, it’s important to choose the right color combinations and organize suitable lighting. It seems to me that this tone is best suited for those who want to add coziness to the room, and, of course, luxury!

The right light is the key to the success of a room decorated in golden

Wall decoration

Gold wallpaper often has a pattern and a different primary color, so as not to make the room too cramped. Geometric and floral patterns, stripes and other designs combined with a lighter base shade will make the room feel more spacious.

Gold wallpaper in the interior is not the only suitable solution for decorating walls in this color. Will also fit plasterboards with spraying, and tiles, and “stone-like” finishing.

In styles popular in 2016, for example, minimalism, modern or high-tech, I advise you to use wallpaper with stripes. Frequent and narrow stripes of gold on the wallpaper will fit perfectly into.

You need to select the optimal amount of “gold” in the room based not only on the style, but also on the area of the room, additional colors, and accessories. It is believed that there should be no more than 1/4 of gold in the overall palette of the room.

Furniture

Golden furniture looks appropriate not only in the living room, but also in the bedroom, hallway and even the bathroom. Moreover, with correct selection shade, chairs, sofas, and other items will fit into retro or classic styles(neoclassical, rococo, baroque) and modern interior (shabby chic, Provence, Scandinavian minimalism).

Lamps

The lamps themselves dilute the room due to the lighting they produce. Therefore, golden solutions will fit perfectly into rooms with prevailing light colors, and in darker interiors.

Luxurious golden chandeliers are typical for classic design solutions and the Baroque style, while compact ones modern lamps fancy or strict geometric shapes suitable for high-tech, fusion, and modern. Compared to other stages of repair, the price of the lamp is not high, but it can bring new color accents into the interior.

Other accessories

Small accessories in the right color work best with any style, as they add a luxurious accent without drawing too much attention to themselves.

I like to “play with colors” in rooms with the help of small but noticeable things, since in this case you can transform the design with your own hands without finishing or repairing.

What accessories can be made gold:

Frames of pictures and mirrors.
Upholstery of sofas and armchairs (or sewing on them).
Candlesticks and candelabra.
Backs and legs of furniture, handles of chests of drawers, drawers, doors.
Curtains and textiles.

Color compatibility

Gold in the interior always looks advantageous with warm shades - brown, chocolate, red and its tones (burgundy, purple). In more modern styles, such as hi-tech, fusion and modern, brighter golden accents are used.

And you can combine them more boldly - with silver, yellow and orange, green and turquoise, coral and pink. The combination with black also looks catchy and aristocratic.

Popular simple instructions combinations of gold with other shades - use a classic base. That is, a shade that occupies at least 40-50% of the interior. It can be white, beige and their shades, which will highlight the extravagance of gold.

What to combine gold with in the interior:

Reds and its shades (purple, burgundy, marsala). Red is the color of luxury, so it looks great paired with rich gold. I recommend choosing muted shades of red rather than “poisonous” ones. To avoid the gloominess of the room, you can add white and beige to the palette.

Shades of brown. Gold goes well with both light shades (beige, cream) and dark shades (coffee, chocolate) in the interior. At the same time, it is difficult to overdo it with the amount of gold; shades of brown complement and dilute it, creating an aura of warmth, luxury and chic.

Green and its shades (mint, turquoise). Cold turquoise can be safely combined with gold. I recommend adding white or cream colors to the palette, or using not only bright, but also calmer golden shades.

Black. Dark tones in combination with gold look at least extraordinary. IN modern interiors this combination is popular, both with the abundant addition of white and with its minimal inclusions. In the second case, the interior turns out to be quite dark, but elegant.

conclusions

Gold always looks impressive and luxurious. It seems to me that at the design stage it is not very easy to work with, but then, with successful planning and combination, enjoying an interior with golden notes is a pleasure!
