It is the beginning of a new year and I thought that it would be wonderful to start things in style with gold accents! Marsala is introduced as the Pantone color of the year and its warm hue is sure to win people over. When paired with gold, this color is sure to impress.

As always, throw pillows are an easy way to change up your decor. By adding some sparkly and elegant pillows your room can instantly be transformed from drab to fab. Isn’t the new Pantone color beautiful? I love the way that it looks next to the gold.

I love the color combinations that are in this room. The creme, gold, silver, and black hues are extremely elegant.

Without changing everything, you could easily add a few gold elements to sparkle up your room. I like these items that can be found at Z Gallerie.

Adding some textured items to your room will help tone down the gold accents. A plain velvet chair, such as the one pictured above, is another simple way to add warmth to your room while still toning down some of the fun accent pieces.

While this room has a bit more gold than most people would feel comfortable with, the solid black walls and chairs help gold take the center stage. Isn’t this a beautiful and unique dining table?

These beautiful side tables and table can also be found at Z Gallerie.

With your house sparkling, don’t forget to freshen up your look with a simple scarf, sparkling nails, and a fun lip color. If you aren’t feeling brave you can skip the berry tint and stick with a holiday red.

Happy New Year!
