Gilded Accents
Posted on June 7, 2012 by jbutler in Fashion and Design
With the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee coming to a close, we‘ve noticed a new trend that will make you feel like royalty for the day, too! According to Who What Wear – a fashion and style blog that we love – gilded accents are in right now. Think shiny gold purses, jewelry, shoes and other signature pieces.
Simply add a chic gilded piece to an outfit for a refined and sophisticated look. You can even experiment with texture and designs, like the Asteroid Slim Clutch in gold python.
In the furniture world, gilded refers to anything lightly brushed with gold leaf or paint. Our resident creatives, Carl and Denise, love this stylish trend and have been incorporating the look into functional accessories for your home. The Gilt gold finish in the Good Life Cocktail Table contrasts beautifully with the glass surface, making it perfect for entertaining.
We also love the Hourglass Side Table. The gilded metal base complements the black granite top.
If you’re looking for a more subtle accessory, add a Cirque Mirror from our new collection, Eastern Market. The unique design and Infused Pewter finish will give any room in your home the royal treatment.
Want to make a statement but afraid to go all gold? Try out the Glimmer Night Stand featuring gilded accent pulls – they add just the right touch!
