Even the simplest interior can be enlivened. The best option is the proper use of gold decoration. This color is always associated with well-being, prosperity and luxury. Even a slight use of this shade will transform the room into a royal apartment that will delight guests. What should you pay attention to? What colors does it go with? Find out further from our article.
What colors does gold go with?
Golden color goes well with warm tones - chocolate, brown, red and its tones. Modern high-tech, modern, and fusion styles use bright golden accents, so a bolder combination is acceptable for them. Silver, yellow, orange, green, turquoise, coral and pink tones are especially popular. Gold and black are a beautiful, catchy and aristocratic combination.
Gold is the color of wealth and beauty
The most optimal solution is to rely on a classic base. In combination with such a bright sunny color, a shade should be used that takes up about 50% of the space in the interior. These are white, beige tones, endowed with the ability to highlight the extravagance of gold.
It occupies a larger part in the interior compared to others
| Combination of shades | Peculiarities |
| Gold + red, burgundy, marsala, purple | It is better to choose muted tones of red rather than “poisonous” ones to avoid the heaviness and gloom of the room. It would also look nice to add white and beige to the room’s palette. |
| Gold + brown and its shades | An excellent combination with both light shades (beige, cream) and dark shades (coffee, chocolate). The room will be cozy and warm |
| Gold + green, mint, turquoise | Cool turquoise and gold are wonderful partners. White color will give harmony to such a tandem (you can use cream) |
| Gold - black | This tandem is especially popular among modern designers. An unexpected solution will help change the interior beyond recognition. You can dilute it with an abundance of white or minor splashes of it - in any case it will look elegant |
By choosing the right combination of shades, you will be able to achieve an amazing result and create an inimitable style.
Feel the measure
Gold color belongs to light and warm tones, so it will help visually enlarge the space and make it lighter.
But if there is too much gold color, then excessive pomp will look too pretentious. The ideal proportion of using this color is one part to three.
What should you pay attention to?
Wall decoration with gold can be done in different ways.
Wallpapering is the simplest solution. But you need to remember that along with the golden color they have a variety of designs - geometric shapes, floral patterns, stripes. Any of these methods, combined with a lighter base background, makes the room visually more spacious.
A simple finishing solution - wallpapering
But it is not necessary to cover the walls in the room with wallpaper. There are other options, for example, plasterboard tiles with pollination, tiles with a “stone” finish.
You don’t have to cover the entire room with golden wallpaper, but rather focus on a specific detail. This will give the room rigor and proportionality.
Whatever the design of the room, gold should occupy no more than 1/3 of the space. Otherwise the room will look pretentious.
It is not necessary to cover all the walls with gold.
When decorating walls with gold, you need to remember some features:
- When planning to decorate a large room, it is best to make a bright accent with paintings and mirrors in gold frames on the walls.
- If the walls of the room are made in golden shades, then all other details should be neutral tones.
- It is better to choose furniture for such a room in white or gray, plain curtains and a minimum number of details.
- Warm gold can visually make a room smaller, so this shade should not be used in small rooms.
- When deciding on the choice of “golden” wallpaper, it is better to focus on options with strict geometric patterns or vertical lines. Monograms will look pompous, and hieroglyphs are more from a series of oriental motifs.
- A combination of glossy and matte textures of gold tones should be avoided.

Advice An excess of gold can ruin the interior, so you need to use this shade for walls carefully.
Feel the style
Accessories of the appropriate color will help create a living room in golden tones. Examples include picture frames and lighting fixtures.
Also, gold looks good on furniture. It is better to give preference to muted and aged shades.
An example of such furniture would be a sofa with gold-plated legs or chairs with gold upholstery.
Curtains
Golden curtains are an opportunity to add a touch of luxury, beauty and comfort to your usual interior.
Before purchasing golden curtains, it is recommended to study a few simple rules:
- curtains of a similar shade go well with tulle of a different color;
- not suitable for windows of non-standard shapes;
- such an element looks terrible in rooms with a small area and low ceilings;
- proximity to silver is not the best option;
- curtains are only suitable for long ones, 2-3 cm short of the floor.
Brocade curtains with lambrequin
Golden-colored curtains can harmoniously fit into any interior style: classic, baroque, empire, art deco, modern, fusion, oriental styles. They look especially organic in monochrome decorations.
The gold color is very capricious. To avoid its oversaturation, you can choose curtains of other shades with gilded patterns, monograms or threads.
Don't oversaturate the room with gold
Home textiles will be an excellent complement to golden curtains. These can be pillowcases, bedspreads, tablecloths, napkins with similar images or elements.
Advice Solid gold canvases do not require any additions, since they themselves absorb space.
A great addition - home textiles
To create a single, complete ensemble, picture and mirror frames, candlesticks, figurines, and gilded carvings on pieces of furniture are suitable.
Gold curtains can be used in any room, but they will look especially good in the living room. An additional effect can be achieved by using “flowing” lightweight fabric against a background of peach and chocolate tones.
Inspiring shades in the kitchen interior
Single style
With the right approach, gold color can be incorporated into almost any design, from classic to minimalism.
An atmosphere of romance can be created with the help of muted and specially aged tones of gold.
In order to create a golden living room interior in a minimalist style, it is enough to combine this color with fashionable materials and monochrome colors. Gold figurines and appropriate textiles will help recreate the Baroque.
Essential elements
Using small details decorated with gold, it is possible to focus attention on the true value of this noble metal. A sense of restraint is especially important here. There are many nuances in creating such an interior. They cannot be ignored:
- modern gold wallpaper with floral patterns is an indicator of style and fashion. Possessing lightness and weightlessness, they will not look pretentious;
- textiles with gold splashes will look organic in any interior. You can choose furniture upholstery with golden shades, pillows, bedspreads, figurines, lamps, etc.;
In the classic version, when nothing is superfluous
- the use of wooden furniture with gilding fits harmoniously into the classics of the modern design world. The peak of popularity is considered to be a shiny metal of a muted shade, close to dark;
- Chandeliers decorated with golden glass beads hanging in the form of threads have not lost their relevance either. Gold-plated lamps will make any room warmer and brighter. The main thing is that they match the color scheme;
- a mirror is the most interesting and multifunctional design element, and if it is framed in gold, then it can be used to successfully complement the interior. Goes well with any furniture;

- Photos and paintings framed in gold will look impressive and beautiful. A yellow, orange, green, turquoise, coral and pink background will help to emphasize their effectiveness;
- an interesting find - various art objects, for example, large paintings painted in gold, or a gilded sculpture that will attract attention;
- a bathroom with golden shimmers is sophisticated and elegant. You can use a gold washbasin as an element. An excellent solution is a golden bathroom, which will look especially chic against the background of walls made of natural stone;
- in the kitchen, the role of a golden fragment can be played by a small chandelier, a mosaic apron, or cabinet handles. Such elements will be appropriate in any style.
Refined and elegant bathroom
Gold accents are a sophisticated addition to any interior. Armed with a spray can and paint, you can turn any object, even the most unattractive, into a luxurious decorative find.
Golden-colored decor and accessories
Excessive use of leaf shade in decoration threatens to turn the room into a bastion of bad taste. Spot decorating a room with elegant accessories affects the design in exactly the opposite way. Therefore, it is important to understand what the capricious gold color goes with in the interior, and what decorations should be abandoned. Elegant frames, thick curtains or airy curtains with an unobtrusive golden print, exquisite tablecloths and other textiles can diversify the decoration and give the room a unique “zest”.
For a living room decorated in black and white, the ideal accessory would be golden tall flower vases, which can be combined with a window curtain and decorative pillows for upholstered furniture, selected in a similar color.
Like paintings in golden frames, unique porcelain tableware with gilding is another way to complement the decoration. Such accessories play a special role in retro interiors, where the main emphasis is on emphasizing vintage and antique items.
Interiors of rooms in “golden”
Interior design of each room is a special process. The same color scheme will look different in different rooms.
Living room
The golden palette looks perfect in the living room interior. Wallpaper decorated in gold can serve as an accent. It is better to choose furniture in black, brown or beige colors.
Light or beige wallpaper allows you to use textiles, flowerpots, and furnishings for decoration. The main rule is to adhere to asymmetry . Visually, such accents look very rich. In the living room, you can place a picture in a gilded frame on one wall, while the other should remain empty. Golden curtains are a sign of the wealth of the owners. For many, the fact that this color in the apartment will make the room brighter is important.
