Colour Trend - Antique Gold

Metallic colour schemes are set to be as popular as ever in 2018 with traditional chrome and copper making way for more unique and glamorous colours that will create elegance and opulence in any room of the home. ANTIQUE GOLD is a refined colour choice that will look wonderful with simple neutral and earthen palettes as well as rich period colours to create an air of luxury within your chosen room.

For a simple and neutral interior space then partner antique gold with soft cream and beige hues and as well as mocha, caramel and mustard tones that will create a light yet cosy feel within your chosen space. If you prefer a more dramatic and masculine take on this colour scheme then you can pair antique gold with rich black and cream colour palettes that will look amazing with baroque or rococo style wallpaper for a bold opera house style interior design. You can also add colour into the mix with some deep period colours such as emerald green, scarlet and royal blue to create a stately and palatial feel in your home interior. Why not include some heavily flocked wallpaper in a floral or period print pattern to create emphasis on a main feature wall, fireplace or alcove area.

Metallic hues are perfect for soft furnishings and upholstery as they create a shimmering elegance in even the most neutral of interior spaces. You can create an opulent interior setting with some antique gold upholstered French carved dining chairs, sofas, chaise lounges or headboards that will create a rich and opulent feel in your home interior. These can be teamed with heavy antique gold satin curtains that can be hung in oversized swathes and secured with some gold tasselled or beaded tie backs for added glamour. For a more modern feel then include some bold coloured or monochrome cushions in geometric or chevron patterns with antique gold accents that will create a focal point on a bed or sleeping area or to keep with a more period feel, include some baroque patterned cushions in cream and gold or black and gold that will add drama to your chosen interior space.

If you’re feeling especially flamboyant then why not furnish your chosen room with some French designed furniture in a shimmering antique gold leaf finish that will create a rich and luxurious finish that is perfect for living rooms, dining rooms and bedroom. Black painted furniture will also create a dramatic finish but can make a room look small and overcrowded so try to stick to one or two statement furniture pieces such as a dining table, bed frame or dresser. Cream painted furniture is perfect for creating a sense of space and light within the room and will look wonderful in both modern and traditional homes. Include some antique gold accessories such as vases, photo frames, mirrors and candlesticks and display a large antique gold pendulum light or chandelier in the centre of the room to create a functional and stylish focal point.
