Gold or silver decor?

6 years ago

Just remodeled dining & living room. Dining room is Hale navy with white woodwork/wainscoting, living room is Coventry Grey with white built in shelving. I know a trend is toward gold fixtures/decor, etc.... just wondering if I can mix gold & silver accents or stick to one? And which one? Both rooms are unfurnished right now, but looking at traditional/modern/vintage furnishings. Any advice is appreciated.

You can absolutely mix. The most appealing rooms always looks as though they were curated over time with a mix of mismatched elements. It's your home; the only applicable "rule" is what looks good to your own eyes.

Thank you! Even with my own wedding rings— I have a combo of yellow gold & platinum. I love both! Lol
