Golden finishes are making a big comeback as they add luxury and flair to a space. Even a small sprinkling of the metallics can make a big statement. Curate a dazzling display of gold by collecting some sunny-coloured pieces you’ve found at markets, thrift stores or even stowed away at home. Metallics like brass, gold, copper, bronze and rose gold are warmer and will outshine the cooler metals such as silver and stainless steel. It’s a clever way to incorporate these metallics to add a sophisticated warmth to a space.
