Everyone loves popular color trends when they decide to remodel their home or renovate! It's fun to change your decor every once in a while to keep up with current popular color schemes. A very popular color for home decor, especially for this autumn season, is gold. Gold represents a meaning of success, achievement, and triumph. We often associate the color gold with money or wealth, but the color gold has so much more to tell us than just wealth. Many people have linked the color gold as a way to feel empowered and choose to think gold can give off a vibe of positive energy. Some also believe that gold can bring good wisdom, understanding, and enlightenment.

Often we see gold metals for the winner of a race so we connect the color gold and it's meaning to the winner's metal. This color draws attention to itself, it is eye-catching, passionate, and confident. Gold is a color that is often overlooked when choosing decor because of the flashy and wealthy vibe it shows. Decorating an office with gold art, or neutral colored prints with a gold frame, can give one a sense of empowerment and success. Getting gold art, art with a gold frame, or art on canvas with gold painted sides is not only suitable for your office. These will also raise your feeling of success in a library or study room. 

Perfect Decor for Autumn Season!

Not only is gold great decor for offices, classrooms, libraries, and study rooms, but it is also great for general home decor during autumn season! Decorating your home with paintings and photographs of golden autumn trees and the golden kissed sky during sunset is a great way to bring the beauty of autumn into your home with out having crunchy leaves. Gold autumn decor helps a room pop with color and come to life. Golden touched autumn art is especially a great decor choice for those who find themselves who favor autumn over other seasons. If autumn season is your favorite, why not leave the autumn decor up year round to keep your favorite season around!

Although gold is a popular color to decorate, you want to make sure to not overdo it. Having too much gold decor in your home can be overwhelming since gold is such a bold color. If the room is painted a solid color that compliments gold, just decorating with gold is perfectly fine! But remember, gold is a loud color that does not need help standing out and making a statement. Too much gold decor can ruin the statement you want to make. If done correctly, gold decor can be the perfect inspirational art, or the perfect seasonal art!

Through the Looking Glass: Deepen Your Space with Framed Mirrors

Finding art that truly suits your bathroom can be a challenge requiring a significant investment of both time and money. If you're looking for a smart alternative or for an easy way to complement the art you already own, consider decorating with framed mirrors. Adding mirrors to your bathroom can make the space feel both bigger and brighter. How? It's all about placement.

 

Make it bigger...

 

You may have noticed many upscale bars and restaurants with a mirror behind the bar. It's not just there for you to watch yourself and the people behind you. Looking into a mirror instead of a wall gives you a subconscious sensation of being in a larger space, or of looking out a window. Try it out in your own bathroom, and the results will amaze you.

Think about the location of your mirrors in relationship to light sources. Position a mirror so it reflects the light from a window back into the room. The most direct approach: place it on a wall opposite the window. If you have a window near the corner of your room, you may also want to experiment with creating "double window" effect by placing a mirror on the wall at a 90 degree angle to your real window, reflecting the view from outside.

... and show your style!

 

Once you've chosen a wall, it's time to think about creating a composition. Consider a mix of different sizes and frames for bigger bathrooms. Placing smaller framed mirrors with the same frame color but different pattern (or reverse) is one way to show your personality rather than having one big mirror. If your style is one mirror, cover a large area with that single mirror. Experiment places to put that mirror to create the illusion of a deeper room.
