THE STYLE BOOK

Mixed METALLICS

Combine gold and silver for ultimate glamour

The STYLE RULES

DON’T BE AFRAID TO MIX IT UP

Sophisticated neutrals make the perfect base for showcasing dazzling shades of silver, gold and even gilver (gold + silver).

CREATE WAVES ON WALLS

Give traditional stripe wallpaper a dynamic twist with a subtle wave design in pale gold. Alternatively, paint walls brilliant white and hang elegant monochrome photographic prints.

PILE ON THE LUXURY

Choose opulent velvet upholstery in timeless silver or taupe, then add tactile cushions in slubby silk and glittering sequins.

FURTHER THE FEELING OF GRANDEUR

Complete the look with statement lighting. A crystal chandelier brings a dose of old-school glamour, while a hammered gold pendant offers a contemporary look.

Why It Works

STYLE AT HOME SAYS…

‘Pale neutrals balance cool silver and warm gold tones and help to make the scheme feel more grown up.’

Opulent JEWELS

Style a contemporary look with gemstone hues

The STYLE RULES

KNOW YOUR PRECIOUS GEMS

Nothing exudes luxury like exquisite tones of amethyst purple, emerald green and sapphire blue. Incorporate these rich hues throughout the scheme on upholstery and accessories.
