Sneaky pops of gold are a snazzy-chic way to lighten up your home.
We're not suggesting you turn your place into the Trump Tower or anything, but peppering some playful bits of gold here and there can liven up your decor and add a sense of humor to your space. Don't go overboard, simply choose a piece or two that will be eye-catching but not overwhelming, like these StyledOn options below.
Make a statement with a heavy duty bar of gold doorstop ($67). Live dangerously seriously cool with a Phillipe Starck gun lamp ($1,756). Surround yourself with the key to chic – Jonathan Adler's black and gold wallpaper ($195).
Old school spell checking just got sexy with this gold leather dictionary (a must have!) ($172). Bone-up on your organizational skills with this wishbone paperweight, your office mates will be jealous ($48). The gold swirl vase is subtle but chic, and the perfect home for a fresh flower ($196).
A set of ten frames is a quick way to switch up your look without investing your weight in gold, heh heh ($32). Hang your jewels on a filigree hook fit for a queen ($24). Up the ante in the bedroom with a gold velvet headboard, and sleep like a golden child ($448).
Serve your guests with this impressive platter, accented with genuine 23 karat gold ($110). Give the gift of good luck with this super shiny laughing buddha statue ($18.50). Store your pretty pennies in an even prettier piggy bank, and perhaps they'll multiply! ($95).
Will you gild your home with gold? What gold decor pieces do you love?
