Gold, Friday's Metal Count

The Olympics are in full swing now and it’s pretty exciting with the Medal Counts heating up!

Gold home accessories and home decor have been on the rise & are now popping up everywhere.

Gold in just about any way, shape, or form for home decor has reclaimed its spot at the top; from fabrics enhanced with gold, end tables, chandeliers, mirrors, table top accessories to cabinet hardware (yes it’s back) Anthropologie.com has some great cabinetry hardware in gold!

Gold tops the new metal count at home edging out silver by just a bit but nonetheless moving ahead!

Silver is still a popular choice and by no means a meager second best.

Bronze is a classic, but the new trend of Matte Black finishes can not be ignored.

My Take away ~
Gold has always been thought of as more traditional and Silver more contemporary, but not any more!
So the best thing about gold coming on strong is the fresh new designs we’re seeing.
Even better, you don’t have to choose one or the other, mixing metals makes a room more interesting, less “matchy-matchy”.
So go for the Gold, Silver, Bronze + throw in a little Matte Black too!

It’s Friday!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend
and as always thanks for sharing your week with me! ~ Nancy
