Gold lamps for beautiful interiors. Feel the gold rush!
Gold lamps in interiors - beautiful and elegant, but in moderation
Gold in interiors today is no longer associated exclusively with the gold-flushed chambers of royal castles and palaces, the estates of princes or the golden vaults of ballrooms. Gold in interiors - dosed with taste and moderation, it is an expression of elegance and luxury, as well as a great way to warm up the home space. How to introduce gold into the house, in what style lamps with gold finish will work, and which models are worth paying attention to? Read and shine!
Let's start with the fact that gold in interiors is certainly not for everyone. This type of finish, like copper or chrome, you just have to like it and feel good about it.
Gold lamps and finishes will work great in your home if:
- you like classic elegance, but also the unforced, informal one,
- you're looking for a way to create a space that feels a breath of luxury,
- you want to rest in a warm, cozy environment (even if your interior is dominated by cold colors)
The basic principle to follow when introducing gold accessories into the arrangement is the fairly universal principle of moderation. Of course, gold or silver will have a completely different meaning in a glamorous interior and another in an industrial or classic styling, but it is good to keep the right proportions.
✔ Interior designers advise that when decorating, remember that the primary color should make up 70% of the finish, the second color should make up 20%, and the third color - often found just in the form of accessories - should make up 10% of the total.
If you love gold and introduce it into your home or apartment just in this 10% amount, you can be sure that you will not overdo it, and your space will gain a sophisticated, warm face.
Lamps with gold trim, dishes, or maybe a mirror with a gold frame - how to invite gold into the interior?
You can introduce the gold finish into your arrangement in many ways. However, the color works best in the form:
- photo frames, mirror frames, paintings or graphics,
- pendant lamps with gold trim (gold shade, gold cover, etc.).), fabric table lamp shades or lamp bases in gold color,
- kitchen accessories and dishes with gold finish, bowls, platters,
- hems or graphic elements of upholstery fabrics or decorative pillows,
- furniture trim - cabinet handles, chair legs, armchairs, coffee tables and dining tables,
- vases, pots, flowerbeds,
- candlesticks and candles
If you decide to introduce gold-colored accessories into your interior, remember to be consistent. Don't mix gold tones or finishes in chrome or copper. Gold looks great with colors such as black, white, maroon, navy blue, bottle green, as well as gray and beige. However, both the choice of shade of gold finish and accompanying colors depends on the effect you want to achieve and the style of your interior.

Over the years, this style has mellowed, but still in interiors decorated in this climate, as well as in those decorated in the style called Glitz & Glam, glamour and a feeling of luxury reign supreme. To achieve them, shiny accessories in gold or silver - including lamps with gold trim and luxurious, shiny fabrics (satin, satin, velour), modern and high-quality furniture, mirrored furnishings are necessary.
