How to use Glitter In Your Home Interior

It’s the New Year and it’s time to inject a breath of fresh air into your home interior. You can create a luxurious and glamorous ambiance in your home with a selection of glittered accessories and decor that are perfect for brightening up those cold winter days. Who can say no to a bit of bling? While we may not all be able to afford diamonds we can certainly create a sparkle in our homes.

Cushions

Statement cushions are a great way of creating a focal point within your chosen room and glittered designs will not only provide colour and texture but will add glistening illumination to a seating or sleeping area. For a classic feminine look, partner silver glittered cushions with ice blue, pastel pink and peach and mix and match glitter, sequins and plain satin for a variety of visual detail. For a more sophisticated elegance then opt for rich black and gold glittered cushions in a variety of square and bolster style designs. If you love to make a bold statement with colour then opt for rich red, deep purple or even lime green glittered cushions that will look amazing against a black leather sofa or plain white bedding set.

Wallpaper

Textured wallpaper is going to be a huge trend in 2016 with bold patterns and prints being replaced with tactile finishes and fabric style designs that will create a 3D visual effect on a statement feature wall. Glittered wallpaper will create a flamboyant and glamorous finish that works particularly well in living room and bedroom interiors. To avoid your design looking tacky or overpowering, keep the wallpaper to a single wall or chimney breast or use as an accent in an alcove or recess area. For classic sophistication stick to sleek gold, black and silver glitter designs or for a more bold and contemporary feel then select vibrant jewelled colour schemes that will add a pop of colour to an otherwise neutral space.

Bedding

Glittered bedding is the perfect way to create a boutique and glamorous finish to your bedroom area and will accentuate your sleeping space to create a centrepiece within your room. For a perfect blend of masculine and feminine design then partner a deep black bedding bed set with a glittering silver or gold throw that will provide a contrasting yet complimentary visual finish. For a more soft and subtle design with a hint of princess elegance then partner white and silver glittered bedding with ice blue and pastel pink sheets and cushion covers to create a light and illuminating space. If you wish to create combination of period and contemporary interior design, select a Baroque or Floral print bed set in deep aubergine, maroon or emerald with accents of glitter and sequins that will highlight the detail of the pattern.

Dining

Adding some glitz and glam to your dining area will create the perfect setting for a sophisticated dinner party, a romantic meal for two or even a general family meal. A simple glittered table cloth in silver or gold will update any dining area in a simple and cost effective way and can be partnered with a wide variety of crockery and glassware for a striking but subtle look. If you are feeling super sparkly then opt for a selection of plates and bowls in deep black or crisp white that feature silver glittered detailing to the edge for a subtle hint of illumination. Select glasses with glittered stems or metallic edging and add plumes of glitter and sparkling beads to a floral centrepiece to create a stylish and opulent finish.

Kitchens and Bathrooms

It can sometimes be difficult to make a kitchen or bathroom feel glamorous but a hint of glitter could be the answer to your problems. Glittered worktops can transform a kitchen space and look particularly effective in black, silver and white finishes. These worktops look great with contemporary high gloss units but can also be paired with more traditional wooden designs. Glittered tiling can look great as an accent feature around a bath or splash back area or if you prefer to use glitter as your main backdrop then select plastic boarding with glittering flecks or glittered flooring that will reflect light around smaller interior spaces. If you are not ready for a complete overhaul then why not add a subtle hint of glitter by replacing your old grouting with a glitter variety that will create a hint of glamour in your current interior space.
