30 Gold Interior Ideas to Buy or DIY for Your Home
We love us a good metallic, especially when it comes to adding some bling to our homes. Whether it’s golden pots for the garden, gilded iPhones or shiny party supplies, it’s guaranteed that where there is gold there is major wow factor. Decor pieces in rich gold are a lovely addition to a neutral environment, and always appear luminous in the soft glow of diffused, natural light. Check out a few of our favorite ways to incorporate gold into your home.
