We took a shine to these ideas on how to incorporate a bit of metallic into the home.
Above: A majestic gold painting by Mathias Goeritz positioned at the top of a stairwell in the home of Mexican architect Luis Barragan (left). To create your own gold work of art, start with the Old World Art Gold Leaf Kit available at Blick Art Materials.
Above: Vintage brass or gold candlesticks offer an easy way to add a bit of glam to your decor. These forms by Ted Muehling for E. R. Butler & Co. are based on three shapes: the egg, an attenuated rod, and a trumpet. Photo by Johnny Miller.
Above: Add eccentricity to your walls with gold adorned paper. We love the design and color of this Naughty Birds Wallpaper by Belgian architect and designer Agnes Emery.
Above: Move over stainless steel: Gold-toned brushed flatware, such as this cutlery set from Canvas Home, will certainly give dinner guests something to talk about.
