Fellow human magpies unite! This is a carefully curated edit of our favorite sparkly-yet-stylish metal. Whether it’s an unapologetic all-over-gold piece or one featuring elegant accents of the color for a luxe finish (such as delicate gold rims around porcelain plates, or gold handles on an otherwise monochromatic piece) – I’m convinced the metal makes any piece of decor look more expensive.
And we’re not alone in our adoration – celebs and interior designers alike love it too! Selena Gomez even revolutionized Our Place’s iconic all-one-color design of the Always Pan to incorporate her favorite gold hardware into her limited-edition summer collection. It’s an undeniably easy way to add a luxe accent to any homeware piece, so I’ve rounded up the best gold-toned accessories from the best home decor stores.

WHAT DOES GOLD DO FOR INTERIOR DESIGN?
The eye-catching color and finish of gold decor gives any room an instantly more glamorous feel. And aside from adding a luxe touch to your scheme, gold also incorporates a certain warmth to the overall look and feel of a piece through its yellow tones.
One of those timeless materials that transcends seasons, you can be sure that your gold-toned pieces will carry you through summer and beyond.
IS GOLD DECOR EXPENSIVE?
You don't have to spend a fortune to find a high-quality gold piece! While gold leaf details, gold plating, and even solid gold decor is the epitome of expensive home styling, gold-toned pieces work just as well for a much more affordable alternative. A gold-colored metallic finish offers the same luxurious feel without the eye-watering price tag.
I pride myself on finding luxe home accents for less, and hopefully the variety of price points in this guide has proven that adding an elegant touch to your decor needn't cost your entire pay check!
