How about adding a touch of luxury to your decor using just color to your advantage? Whether on the wall, on a decorative object or on a covering, gold is able to guarantee sophistication in interior design projects. That’s why we made this special about golden decor.
This name came thanks to the so-called “gold fever” in which the success of gold became popular with the people and became part of the architects’ palette.
So, if you want to impress your guests, it’s best to look for decor inspiration that matches the style of the house. Furthermore, to provide tips on lighting to make the color stand out even more, we spoke to architect Mariana Cecchine, who has a collection at Yamamura, a company specializing in lighting items.
How to use gold in decoration?
As it is not a neutral color, gold is used to enrich the details of an environment. Therefore, it is customary to create a base with neutral tones such as beige, gray, shades of brown, white and black and create a golden decor on top.
Although gold is a versatile color that goes with all colors, very bold combinations are not always convenient.
This is because if there is a significant mix of vibrant colors, none of them will stand out and the gold will end up being camouflaged in the decoration. As a result, what was supposed to be a highlight turns into a mere item thrown around the room.
These details can be: lamps, paintings, decorations, furniture, metal objects, among others. Here, what will really count is the creativity of the residents.
What does gold convey?
The main idea that gold conveys is wealth. Therefore, golden decor says a lot about luxury and ostentation.
In the past, gilded items in the home were always made of gold. However, currently, with the evolution of paint factories, it is possible to have details in the same color as it.
As a result, although few actually have the precious stone in their home, objects in this color continue to talk about material wealth.
On the other hand, marketing experts associate golden decor with several other factors such as success, triumph, achievement, prosperity, sophistication and elegance.
Therefore, if you want to convey all these feelings at home, the best option is to splurge on gold items.
What is the energy of the golden color?
Color in decoration means much more than a simple colorful wall. Especially in feng shui culture, a color is capable of directly influencing the energy of the house.
Therefore, it is important that residents agree with the choice so that it conveys both personalities, without causing interference.
As a result, gold vibrates nobility, vigor and superior intelligence. This is because golden decor offers power and persuasion to its owners.
What color does gold go with?
You already know that gold is a versatile color that matches all others. However, each combination can represent a decoration style.
For example, a gold kitchen with black and gray offers an air of modernity. On the other hand, combining it with pastel colors like blue or pink will give the room a vintage touch.
Therefore, before purchasing any decorative item, define what style of decoration you want for the room. This will avoid mistakes in decoration and make the space much more harmonious.
Luxurious style
One of architect Mariana’s main criteria is to create a project that represents the feelings that residents want to convey.
In the case of this project, the nominees were: delicacy and luxury. Therefore, she invested in an exuberant golden decor to convey the idea of success and prosperity. As a result, in several rooms of the apartment there are golden details.
“In this project, the main idea was to brush the color in various points, such as on the surface of some furniture, on the legs of chairs, on lamps, on decorative objects, among other possibilities”, explains the architect.
Harmonia no golden decor
A simple way to think about how to harmonize a decoration is to compare it to a painting. After all, the drawing needs a background to present the ideas and colors.
Therefore, in golden decor it is important that there is a contrast between the tones and elements available.
In the case of the project presented by Mariane, in addition to the classic colors, the residents dared to choose intense and dark colors, such as green and gray.
“Our client was not afraid to be bold, a very gratifying fact, as we were able to put our imagination into every detail”, he highlights.
