Bold and Gold

It’s a new year and it’s the perfect time to inject some new and adventurous style into your home interior. This season is all about clashing colours and dramatic statements and what better way to showcase this idea than with a stylish BOLD and GOLD interior design. This look is both modern and glamorous and is sure to look amazing in any room of the home.

Using gold as your accent colour it is then up to you how bold you wish to go with your base colour and whether or not you are brave enough to mix and match your colour palettes within your room. If you wish to keep things bright yet simple then you can opt for one basic primary colour such as blue or red and keep to one or two of your interior walls while alternating with a soft pale gold paint. Alternatively select classic patterned wallpaper in a primary colour with gold accents that will draw your eye to a specific area of the home. If you feel more adventurous then why not opt for bright jewel tones or neon hues and accent with metallic gold wallpaper in an exotic eastern design or bold geometric pattern for a stylish visual focal point.

Moroccan and Chinese style fabrics make a great choice for a bold and gold interior design as they perfectly bring together cheerful colour and metallic pattern to create a decadent feel in your chosen interior space. For a Chinese or Japanese inspired design then select some bright red and monochrome cushions, curtains or bedding with gold embroidered symbols or cherry blossom patterns that will look great in a minimal home interior for a calming ‘Zen’ inspired look. For a more bold and varied interior design then select some Moroccan cushions and curtains featuring emerald, ruby and turquoise jewelled hues with intricate gold embroidery, beads and tassels. If you prefer a simple and modern take on this trend then opt for plain red, lime or fuchsia cushions with a simple gold stripe or chevron for a sleek designer finish.

This trend can also be carried through to your furniture and accessories for a simple addition to any home interior. If you are feeling artistic why not try your hand at up-cycling some of your old furniture. Paint a chest of drawers or sideboard in bold and bright coloured chalk paint (or just paint the drawer and drawer fronts for a more subtle finish) then accessorise your furniture item with some gold painted stencils or some luxurious gold door and drawer handles for a perfect mix of colour and shine. Include some bold neon or primary coloured light pendants on your ceiling with a gold interior and place bright and eye-catching coloured lamp shades on gold bases for a contemporary twist on a classic design.
