When it comes to decorating, using metallic silver and gold is a fabulous way to add some glitz to your home. Touches of these rich colors can create an atmosphere of elegance and glamour. They are versatile enough to function as neutrals and can make colors pop, but are strong enough to stand alone and provide glitter and shimmer.

I think silver and gold are especially appropriate and beautiful in the winter — they can add a hint of sparkling snow to your interior spaces, whether the climate outside supports it or not.

Lighting in gold tones creates an atmosphere of warmth, giving a glowing appearance.
