Add Glamour & Glitz to Your Home with Gold

A glamorous trend taking over hardware, mirrors, lighting, furniture, and walls is the glitz and glimmer of gold. Gold has always been considered to be an elegant and rich color, and incorporating it into your home’s design can take your room from bland to breathtakingly beautiful.

Since gold can be such a powerful color, there can be hesitation in the fear that gold might make a room feel over the top and stuffy, but if you add the color in small doses, you can create the perfect effect in a room.

A common way to modestly incorporate this classy color into your home is with light fixtures, such as chandeliers and lamps, and accent pieces. Mirrors are a great foundation for glitzy gold accents, while gold fabrics can add a less intense splash of gold. Think window treatments, rugs, pillows, and blankets.

Vases, silverware, decorative tables, hardware, picture frames and candles can also be used to add formal touches of gold in small doses, giving strength to the idea that less can be more.

For those looking to create a statement in their home with gold, go to your walls for inspiration. Artwork, headboards, and wallpaper are hot in interior design, so bring gold to your walls for both elegance and a statement. If you want to create a wow effect, golden walls will do it.

Bringing Indigo Blue Into Your Home Design

Indigo, an edgy dark blue that’s between blue and violet, is currently trending in interior design. More blue than violet, indigo is a peaceful yet moody, dark but bold, timeless color that adds a stunningly classic look to your home. Thanks in part to a splash of violet, indigo is a versatile color that can be used in a bold manner as your wall color, or in smaller doses as an accent color.

On your walls, indigo is a rich color that works well in rooms that are meant to be calming, such as a reading room or dining room. We are obsessed with this shade of blue thanks in part to its powerful ability to be both comforting and rich.

More times than not, indigo blue is used as an accent color in the home. Try using it as the color of your front door or as an accent wall for a bold statement. If you want to start small, incorporate it into your pillows, area rug, furniture, or window treatments for a subtle hint of luxury.

Whether you go all out with the color, or play it safe, you can’t go wrong when you bring this color into your home.

How to Create a Curated Look in Your Home

Now more than ever, homeowners want their home to be a reflection of their experiences and to speak to their personality. To do this, they are curating their space by incorporating collected memorabilia and décor into their room’s design to create a timeless look that tells their story. So how do you do this in your home? Follow along for our top tips on how to create a curated space.

If you have a passion for traveling and have collected objects and pieces from your journeys, make these pieces a focal point in your space. These pieces will hold more value in a room than décor from a store will. Think artwork that reminds you of a trip out west, a blanket that you purchased on an overseas trip, or curate vintage pieces that have been handed down to you.

The pieces don’t have to be antique. Curating a room is all about making a space speak to who you are, so don’t be afraid to mix and match trends, or add vintage books to a brightly colored space. You can always keep it simple and decorate with any and all items that you’ve collected over the years, whether they match or not. Don’t be afraid to mix textures, patterns, embellishments, and colors.

Our Favorite Ways to Add Greenery to Your Home

With warm weather and bright colors popping up both outside and inside, one color we really love seeing is green. Outside, it’s bright green manicured lawns and budding trees, and indoors, it’s bright green plants and pops of color in home décor.

Houseplants are a great way to add not only color and life to your space, but plants also bring many health benefits to your home as well. Plants aid in purifying your air by removing toxins, and they also increase your happiness and overall well-being. If you struggle with keeping plants alive, you can always opt for a fake plant.

In general, green brightens up your space and makes it feel livelier, so if plants aren’t your thing, incorporate the color to your space through your décor, where your options truly are endless.

A soft green is a beautiful color for your walls and can really work well in any room. An emerald green couch is the perfect way to bring a touch of elegance to your living room, while also hitting the hot velvet trend that is also taking over the interior design world.

Just like any color, you can always incorporate green into your home through the use of decorative pillows; throw blankets, area rugs, curtains, and your bedding.
