Not only would these gilt statement pieces brighten up your day, but will also elevate your style factor.
3. Might-tea practical pieces.

4. Mix your metallics.
The pinkness of copper adds femininity which goes well with gold objects that bring shine and great dimension to any living space. With a touch of copper, you can either go traditional or modern, chic or industrial, depending on how you style it! An interior composing of gold and copper combined with marble would definitely add class and luxury to your space.
5. Play with geometry.
Metallics are already dynamic by design, so by adding the shiny elements into wonderful geometric shapes, a bold statement piece is achieved! Gold wire cubes or brass sculptures are striking and would take the lead in style at any area of your home. Once you get the hang of things, don’t be afraid to play around with textures and different golden shines for the right gleaming balance.
