Shining Precious Metals in Interior Design
The futuristic mood of this season dictates its fashion: for example bright and colorful shades of precious metals in clothes. The same fashion trends are found in the interior.
On white background gold and silver looks great, especially the white softens and shades the shining of precious hues. But we can not say that such a fashionable combination is the invention of modern times. Fanciful expensive designs and drawings on the white background are met even among our ancestors of the Baroque, and in particular, they have been favored in houses of the Eastern princes. It should be mentioned the golden-white Bakhchisarai fountain made of marble, as well as the Great Hall of the Catherine Palace in Peterhof, which simply dazzle the eye with the magnificence of many silver mirrors.
If you don’t want to recreate whimsicality and luxury of our ancestors in your house, you can try a combination of silver and white as more neutral. In the background you’d better choose matte shades. So, the silvery color will look very elegant and it will not seem dull or gray. This combination, if it is chosen properly, will bring more rigor, gentleness and even femininity (in fact the silver as the metal is associated with the lunar feminine beginning) into your home decor.
If you want something dramatic and fateful, then your choice is gold on white background.
