10 golden accent designs to try in 2022

1. Golden Props

Gold décor is an excellent way to add some pizazz to your house design. A golden chandelier, geometric shelves, planters, curtain rods, floor lamps, etc., are a few props you can use for elegant and luxe home décor. Use these gold accents to brighten up a neutral room or to add some sheen to a moody one.

2. Art with Elements of Gold

Art as décor is versatile; use it to create a focal point, break up the monotony of a plain wall, or add accents to the room. Art with warm gold accents would be a striking feature against jewel-toned or primary coloured walls. You can choose any traditional medium for a tinge of golden art- paintings, sculpture, ceramics, etc. But if you want to flex your creative muscles, you can create wall art- a mural with golden highlights.

Style tip: You can add a golden touch to the artwork you already have. Use frames or angles to add a gold accent to paintings. For stand-alone pieces, opt for focus lighting to highlight the works and ensure that the lighting fixture is gold-toned. 

3. The Golden Coffee Table

Furniture is another great way to introduce gold accents to your interiors. A golden coffee table would make for a stunning statement piece. Since gold is available in multiple tones and finishes, try to match it with your colour scheme. For example, rose gold would go well with cool pastels. In contrast, a brighter yellow-gold will complement black and white interiors.

If a solid gold centre table appears to be a huge commitment, you can opt for one with just a golden base or top. This way, if you want to change it up, you can do so with just a fresh coat of paint.

Style tip: Like the look of golden legs for the centre/ coffee table? Repeat it with gold legged side tables for a symmetrical and unified look.

6. Golden Table Artefacts

The details add finishing touches to a space. Metallic accents are eye-catching so use them to draw attention to certain aspects of your home décor. With golden home décor items, you can do just that. Vases, figurines, table lamps, trays, coasters, etc., are functional and, with the right design, double up as chic table décor. This way, you get a stylish space without clutter.

7. Golden Fabric

With textiles, you can introduce colour and texture into a space. Turn your space into an exciting yet cosy haven with golden fabric pillows, rugs, throws, bedding, curtains, upholstery, etc. A geometric pattern would be a great fit in a modern room.

Gold throw pillows highlight the depth of darker upholstery such as slate, emerald, indigo, etc. You can opt for a subdued tone of gold duvet and bedding to create a calming effect. In traditional styles like vintage, Indian, etc., for gold home accents, choose fabrics such as brocade and damask.

Style tip: When choosing your gold home accents, ensure that the undertone matches the other hues in the room for a cohesive look.

8. Golden Mosaic

Mosaics are a fun and creative addition to home décor. It is akin to bedazzling your home. Greet your guests with a stunning mosaic design at the entrance. Elevate the kitchen interiors with a mosaic backsplash. You can use them to frame doors and windows. Top your centre table or dining table with intricate mosaic designs. Highlight these stunning creations with gold accents and add golden art, a gold centre table, etc., to your home décor.

9. Golden bathroom

Give them a makeover with gold spray paint. Add other accents such as gold rims for the mirror, chic dispensers with gold hints, etc. A gold sink would stand out against marble. Gold inlays on custom flooring or shower walls can be a showstopper.

Style tip: For a golden bathroom to work, when gold is integrated well into the colour scheme. It works better to have accessories and décor that aren't fully gold but have hints of it.
