Gold color interior
At all times, gold was treated especially, since from ancient times it symbolized such concepts as wealth, wealth, luxury, power. They were decorated with palaces and castles, as well as royal chambers. Gold has incredible magical attractive power, its luster does not cease to enchant to this day. Today it is again at the top of fashion, which is used by modern interior designers.
Golden interior implies compliance with a number of rules
If you create a "golden stylization" in the room, you must adhere to some certain points:
- extremely cautious approach to the issue of filling the interior with large massive gold pieces of furniture, as well as tiles and other gilded items, otherwise, visual volume of the room will decreaseMoreover, a glut of gold can cause concern and even can suppress its powerful energy;
- gold textiles in the interior can be used with less caution, however, a prerequisite is a harmonious combination of all the details together (furniture upholstery with gold threads, all kinds of decorative pillows, curtains, bed linen with gold embroidery, etc.);
- in a golden interior, more than ever, a sense of proportion is important and you should definitely adhere to one style: either it will be a magnificent palace interior in the Baroque or Rococo style, or maybe art deco or Eastern Arabic style - it all depends on the preferences and tastes of the owners
Must have a sense of style
The golden interior has an extraordinary attraction if this hue is present only on accessories, for example, candlesticks, lamps, mirrors or picture frames, but not on large interior items. Gold looks great as a decoration for furniture, for example, on luxurious beds with gilded legs and backs, on dressers or cabinets in the form of golden handles - all this unobtrusively gives the interior a touch of aristocracy and wealth.
If you still use large furniture with gilding, then it is best to choose a muted, dull shade of aged color.
Experienced designers can skillfully fit the gold color into almost any interior style. It is the slightly "shabby" muted shades used on accessories or pieces of furniture that create that amazing romantic cozy atmosphere typical of the style of shabby chic (minimalism). The Baroque style (classic) implies the use of golden hues on textiles or furniture, as well as on elaborate figurines in combination with classic dark tones or vice versa with light shades.
The combination of gold with other colors
The golden interior dictates the perfect combination with other colors. Being warm, gold is “friendly” with all the light shades. For example, if the interior color scheme contains mainly white, beige, peach or light gray tones, in this case, it’s enough to highlight only a few interior elements with gold, for example, use accessories or textiles.
The golden color goes well with the chocolate terracotta interior. It is especially good if at the same time there is wooden furniture, bedspreads or curtains of brown color - gold will create a special additional light and shine. You can also apply gold wallpapers.
But the interior is considered the most spectacular and stylish, where two colors dominate: gold and black, and the predominance of black is highly desirable in this duo. For example, a black set with gold details looks luxurious, dark bedspreads with golden spots, because such a combination is spectacular in itself.In this regard, additional shades should be selected very carefully, and it is best to completely abandon the catchy and bright.
A good gold color is combined with other shades, such as cherry, purple, blue and even turquoise. In addition, today a combination of gold and purple is considered very stylish and fashionable.
Golden bedroom
In the bedroom, gold will serve as an excellent complement, for example, to the oriental style, as well as baroque or art deco. The abundance of accessories with gold will wonderfully fit into the oriental style. Baroque implies elaborate elements, for example, elegant gold stucco molding on the ceiling, frames for mirrors and paintings, lamp shades of lamps. For art deco gold wallpapers that can create an original and festive atmosphere are perfect.
In most cases, the bedrooms are decorated in bright colors, so in this case, all shades of gold are suitable for decoration.
Golden living room
Living room with elements of gold looks, above all, aristocratic, and the main element in the design is the wallpaper in gold. Accordingly, the furniture in this case should be beige, brown or black. If you make the walls in a light or classic range, then it will be very appropriate to use gilding on textile elements, vases, lamps or furniture surfaces. The main thing is not to forget about the basic rule - asymmetric details visually look much nicer. For example, on one wall, place pictures in a golden frame, and leave the second wall empty. Golden curtains add an element of wealth to the living room, as well as extra light.
Golden bathroom
In the bathroom, elements of gold also add sophistication and aristocracy, however, only in the case of a spacious and bright room. If the room is small, and even dark, the use of gold will only visually narrow the space.
Unusually spectacular golden tint on the details of plumbing (faucets, pens, etc.). It is also advisable to design the bathroom in bright colors, otherwise you will not see the glow of gold. Gold on accessories is also appropriate, for example, on lamps or tiles.

Should not be forgotten
Making the interior in gold color, it should be remembered that gold is primarily a high-tech material for creating decorations, and not a manifestation of kitsch. In this connection, one should not oversaturate the interior with an abundance of shiny objects when both walls and ceilings literally sparkle with gold - such an interior only speaks of the owner’s desire to show his superiority and financial well-being, which in the designer language sounds like a lack of taste.
