Gold Decor for the Kitchen and Dining Room We begin with the kitchen and dining room, as these spaces are perfect for flirting with gold before introducing into the rest of your home on a larger scale. In fact, a wide range of amazing culinary products are available for your perusal! Take the Eileen Gold Coffee Press from Bodum, named after renowned designer Eileen Gray. Shown here as an 8-cup coffee press with a gold-toned finish, this piece has taken the blogosphere by storm. Or a square of gold. How about a triangle or a hexagon? This Gold Napkin Ring Set from West Elm features four different shapes, as well as a construction of brass in a gold finish. We love the way the rings warm up even the brightest of white napkins! This Porcelain Gold Band Flatware from Crate & Barrel is perfect for holiday entertaining. Gold-banded white porcelain is striking, unusual, and oh so festive, don’t you think?! On a similar note, check out this Gold Cheese Knives Set from West Elm, crafted of gold electroplated stainless steel. Perfect for spreading, spearing or slicing, they are also particularly fetching when contrasted with darker surfaces, such as the gray of a slate cheese board. Not to mention, their elegance will take your foodie display up a notch… Gold-Toned Lighting Gold has really put its stamp on the lighting world. The Calyx Pendant from Atelier Areti features a construction of solid cast brass. A dainty form is contrasted with the geometric glow of a large round bulb. Did we mention that these lights were handmade in Germany? Many of today’s featured finds are chic, classy and upscale in appearance. Which is why we love the contrasting industrial look of the Emmett Pendant Brass from Crate & Barrel. Exposed hardware creates a casual look, while a white-coated interior enhances the glow of the bulb Unexpected Golden Accents We end with a few golden accents that add a dash of unexpected style to your interior. We were blown away by the chic simplicity of this DIY Gold + Acrylic Clipboard tutorial from Design Sponge. You need little more than cut acrylic (which can be special ordered or purchased at a big box hardware store), as well as spray painted extra-large binder clips. A little effort yields a big payoff. And an elegant one at that! we see the Solid Pillow with Metallic Gold Pillow Cover from Williams-Sonoma, a selection that features a luxurious take on earthy style. A gold leaf effect is created by metallic gold accents on Brazilian cowhide: We end with a piece as unusual as it is powerful. It’s the Giant Brass Horn from Jonathan Adler, sand cast in solid brass then hand polished for a shiny effect. Make it the centerpiece of your table–the sculptural style can’t be denied. Who says brass is traditional?!

Snowy Statements We begin with an homage to winter whites. After all, nothing is more enticing than a living room filled with snowy decor. Which is why this Snowdrift Wallpaper Mural from West Elm is such a stunning way to deck your walls! Featuring an image laser-printed in high definition, this low-VOC mural easily sticks to the wall: These Starlit Trees in Snow from Restoration Hardware are the perfect way to bring a warm glow to your interior when it gets cold outside.

And because they’re not holiday-specific, you can enjoy these glasses all year long! When the weather outside is frightful, makes your warm drinks delightful with the help of these classic Snowflake Glass Mugs from Crate & Barrel. A timeless motif complements a variety of decorative styles. They’re the perfect winter addition to your kitchen, especially when it’s time for a midnight snack on a chilly evening! This Cut-Glass Candleholder from Crate & Barrel features a silver-toned container that’s embellished with handcut ribs to create sparkle. The result is a wonderfully icy look that dresses up your mantel or tabletop: Memorable Metallics We now move on to metallic decor that adds a festive sparkle to your interior. We were instantly drawn to this Embroidered Metallic Bull’s Eye Pillow Cover in Multi from West Elm (shown at the top of the pile), especially since it features an array of shimmering tones. Crafted of 100% cotton sheeting in bronze, silver, gold and rose gold, these pillows celebrate multifaceted shine at its finest. And as you can see, West Elm offers a range of pillow covers in solid hues as well. We’re fans of the rose gold… Speaking of rose gold, this metallic hue is definitely enjoying its moment in the spotlight. Which is why we love the Perch Table Lamp in Rose Gold from West Elm, an eye-catching piece constructed of blown glass in a rose gold finish. The lamp’s Mid-Century-inspired design is heightened by a sleek white linen shade: Like rose gold, brass is definitely having a moment! We like these Pinch Bowls from CB2 so much, we’re featuring them again after highlighting them in our recent post on eclectic interior design. Available in two sizes for your convenience, these brass-plated stainless steel bowls have pinched edges that reflect the light. Each piece is a different height so you can make your own geometric design. Between the glow of the candleholders and the glow of the burning candles, you will be hard-pressed not to feel warm and cozy… From the warm to the cool.. Add some dazzling silver sparkle to your tabletop without the glare of glitter. These subtle Matte Glimmer Placemats from Crate & Barrel are crafted of PET and nylon threads. Thanks to their neutral shade, they’re definitely not holiday-specific. Or winter-specific, for that matter! Jaw-Dropping Jewel Tones
Forget subtlety! It’s time to get vivid. One of this season’s biggest holiday trends is the use of jewel-toned decor. And sometimes the products are even designed in the likeness of jewels. These Faceted Glass Vases from West Elm are crafted of hand-cut glass. Aren’t they divine when holding rosy blooms?! |
