Gold is a trendy look for fall. And with a few tricks, you can make gold an amazing accent that will last you all year long! Take a look at these bloggers’ gold perfections and grab a few ideas for your own space.
A royal nursery

After having two boys, blogger Beth knew she wanted style for her little lady’s room. Using a stencil, she rolled metallic gold paint to create a stunning wall design. Continuing with the golden trend, she added a gold-painted shelf, two ornaments of the Eiffel Tower, dresser knobs, and a little DIY art. We love the mix of vibrant colors and patterns that make this room worth its weight in gold; and the gold accents are just enough to provide a little glam to this nursery.

The different textures, hues and textiles make this living room one you want to be in.
