Alluring Gold-Toned Accessories To Elevate Your Home

Much like a delicate chain peeking from beneath a collar, or the subtle glint of a stud in an ear, a low-key glimmer of gold can instantly elevate an aesthetic without overpowering it. For a tablescape with refined shine, pair gilded-rim glassware – such as Aerin’s hand-blown crystal coupes – with gold-plated porcelain such as Coralla Maiuri’s ‘Piazza del Popolo’ dessert plates, which are inspired by traditional Italian pottery and finished with a textured, gold-dipped craquelé border. Chunky coasters add weight and dimension to a table, and Soho Home’s brushed-brass set adds a gold tone with an elegantly muted finish. And if you’re looking to enhance the glow of a candle for a particularly radiant ambience, Diptyque’s lantern sits above the label’s 190g vessels and rotates to create an enthralling flicker. You can also grace a side table or mantelpiece with similar luminosity by adding a beautifully gold-toned creation. Completedworks’ small vase is made from brushed brass and designed with relaxed, softly curved folds – inspired by the drapery Renaissance artists depicted in paintings. It’s the perfect vessel with which to give an elegant floral display a beautiful golden finish.

Gold is the superlative hue for maximalism, evoking a bold jubilance and statement-making dazzle as a centerpiece accessory. And few things have quite the same conversation-starting status as L’Objet’s collaboration with LA artists the Haas Brothers, which depicts fun, otherworldly characters in a vibrant luster. With gold-plating that will set a dazzling tone for a shelf or sideboard, its ‘Mojave Lynda’ box comes with four colorful porcelain plates and is sure to get guests talking at your next dinner party. Similarly, the brand’s elegant brass, wood and marble chess set would create an impressive focal point displayed on a coffee table, with gleaming gold-plated crowns topping the black-and-white-marble playing pieces. Impactful decorative objects often combine sculptural forms with high shine, and Tom Dixon’s ‘Bash’ collection is crafted from annealed brass that is hand-beaten to create a hammered finish, with an added gold lacquer for maximum gloss. Fill it with a colorful array of fruits to show it off to perfection on the dining table. A dressing table in the bedroom also calls for a touch of glamour, and L’Objet’s refined vanity mirror – beautifully designed in collaboration with Lito Karakostanoglou – is framed by polished gold-tone porcelain and rests on a stylish marble stand.

For a more light-hearted touch, Anissa Kermiche’s ‘Rock Bottom’ trio of golden tea-light holders represents the unique irreverence that gold accessories can take – each one cheekily cast to resemble a delicate derrière. And finally, to add a soothing ambience to your space, a Trudon scented candle will bask in its own golden glow – and is sure to be as resplendent as its gorgeous aroma.
