Features, characteristics, color shades

In the interior of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, it was very popular - only very rich people could afford gold, because then this color scheme was considered a symbol of abundance, luxury, wealth in the house. In modern design, it should be used carefully, an excessive amount of gold - a sign of lack of taste. Therefore, only certain parts of the room are made out like this.

Wallpapers with a complex convex texture diversify the interior, solid colors look good with textured curtains, being an excellent backdrop for expensive furnishings. With the help of a correctly chosen pattern, the shape of the room is easily changed - the vertical stripes will visually make the room taller, the horizontal ones - wider, longer.

How to choose the right curtains

At the choice of curtains it is required to follow several rules:

• for wallpaper with complex variegated patterns should pick up plain curtains and vice versa;
• bright curtains look great, preferably warm colors;
• it is desirable that the walls contrast with the design of the windows, rather than merge with it, but the option of combining is also possible;
• if the curtains are matched with wallpaper, they should be at least two or three tones lighter or darker;
• curtains should be in harmony with other textiles in the room - upholstered furniture, carpets, pillows, coffers, draperies on the beds, chairs, etc.

Curtains with vertical or horizontal stripes slightly change the geometry of the space against the background of plain wallpaper. Light thin curtains are almost always out of place here. The most harmonious look red-brown curtains, curtains, the color of coffee with milk, sky-blue, bright green, violet. But blinds or blinds are selected with alternating canvases - gold with brown, blue, silver, pink and others.

Japanese curtains can repeat the pattern of walls, if so conceived, and Italian curtains have only a golden cord to tighten them in the right place. Austrian or London are decorated with gold ribbons, they can have a wide gold eaves, in harmony with the wallpaper. Curtains in the shape of an hourglass, tied in the middle, are inserted into the skeletons of partitions, which zoned the space of a studio apartment or kitchen-living room. They duplicate the texture, pattern of the curtains on the windows, in color matching with wallpaper or contrasting with them. Interior curtains for the golden interior sometimes look like a scattering "rain" of gilded beads.

Light curtains with a picture or not, will fall "in the theme" for almost any interior, dark shades are used only for the most spacious halls, wide corridors.

Combination with furniture, ceiling, floor

In most cases, the floor covering is chosen a couple of tones darker than the walls of the room - this will visually create a reliable support for the legs, furniture, ensuring composite balance. Varnished flooring, parquet, laminated wood, floor ceramic tiles and linoleum are perfectly combined with gold wallpaper. The ceiling is desirable light, but may have separate gilded elements of stucco. A light blue ceiling with a chandelier in the shape of the sun, which seems to illuminate the walls, will be a variant for the nursery.

Best of all, the contrasting furnishings look golden; it is selected a few tones darker or lighter. If the wallpaper is plain, the upholstery of the upholstered furniture is chosen patterned, and when they have a complex ornament, sofas, armchairs, poufs, kitchen corners, etc. are decorated with fabrics with a simple large pattern or without it. Gold accessories are used in moderation, do not clutter up the room with many statuettes or vases. It will be enough to have a central gilded chandelier, a golden edging of the carpet.

If you use gold wallpaper with gradient transitions from dark to light, then the most saturated color is preferred below.

Wall design in rooms

Especially bright golden wallpaper stick in rooms with windows facing north - they will give a feeling of "sunshine" in the absence of natural sunlight. Darker ones — chocolate-gold or black-gold — are used in the spacious “southern” rooms, where daylight is abundant for most of the day. Do not use too much gloss - it visually "weights" the interior, so an excessively bright gold-plated finish should take no more than one third of the room.

For which rooms it is better to use gold wallpapers:

• living room - various shades are acceptable, in combination with beige, cream, silver, terracotta, fuchsia, emerald, purple;
• bedroom - as little shine as possible, ideal - gilding on a light background;
• the kitchen - gilded decoration should be neat, but not excessively brilliant;
• nursery - suitable for very calm children, light, muffled tones are preferable;
• bathroom - washable are used occasionally, self-adhesive film is most often preferred;
• dressing room - the walls here are not particularly visible, because their color does not really matter;
• office - here nothing should distract from the work, because the minimum brightness is chosen;
• loggia or warmed balcony - the walls are decorated in the same color, texture as the whole room.

Any wallpaper "overlap" should begin to glue from the window - if they even slightly peel off on the edge, the seams will not be visible, the overall appearance will not be broken. When sticking "butt" but the difference where to glue, no.

Bedroom with gold trim

The golden walls of the bedroom will turn it into a wonderful apartment. Here you can fall asleep and wake up, imagining yourself in the royal chambers. Glitter should use a minimum amount - it is able to interfere with normal sleep, sharp, bright contrasts are also inappropriate. Muted shades give the effect of antiquity, especially the color of red gold.

The following options are most popular:

• the wall at the head of the bed is decorated with gold, the other walls are decorated with white;
• the wall in front of the bed is decorated with gold photo murals depicting natural species or abstractions, the other walls are plain;
• all the walls are pasted over with light wallpaper with golden pattern.

Gold wallpapers with images of animals of savanna or desert will uniquely decorate a unique children's room.

Living room design options

A large bright living room, made in a classic style, with a high ceiling, light brown curtains, carved furniture, decorate wallpaper with a relief pattern Damascus. If the hall is cramped, then a multitude of light sources, combined with white wallpaper, covered with gold ornaments, light furniture, floor design two or three tones darker than the walls, will visually expand it.

Wall decoration in the kitchen

Gold in the kitchen should be used very carefully - there are usually too many shiny parts here. Ideal - matte white, light beige or straw-colored wallpaper with gold ornaments. In this case, the set will suit almost any: red, black, white, orange, violet, olive, green, etc. The floor tile is preferably matte, with an ornament combined with a wallpaper pattern, but without gloss. Since the kitchen is constantly high in humidity, and the likelihood of contamination by food pieces, fat drops is high here, washable coatings are usually purchased for it.

Entrance hall

Warm gold, in combination with several full-wall mirrors, will significantly expand the room of the hall, which in most cases has no windows. If the corridor is small, narrow, then the wallpapers are selected as bright as possible. For large rooms use a large print, any bold combination - with emerald, eggplant, burgundy, azure, fuchsia. But when the whole apartment is decorated in bright colors, the hall should be made a maximum of a couple of tones darker or the same as all the other rooms. Gold-plated frames for mirrors, elements in the decoration of furniture are used only if the wallpaper is not entirely gilded, but only have a picture on a neutral background. Washable in the hallway as practical as possible, because gold should shine with purity
