Whether you are a minimalist looking to add a few pieces of golden accessories or want to go all out and add gold accent furniture pieces, you have to make sure you achieve the right balance. Wondering where to start? UAE's homegrown interior decor and furniture brand, aura Living, has presented the ultimate guide on how to decorate with gold for the festive season.

Things to keep in mind when decorating with gold accents for the festive season

·  Gold is a luxury undertone that goes particularly well when paired with festive colours such deep reds and greens. Opt for a gold table centrepiece, dinnerware or candle holders to create the cosy, festive feeling. 

·  Always remember that with gold, a little goes a long way. Look to include it as an accent, rather than a dominant colour. Do not overcrowd all your gold pieces in one place. Gold elements need to be evenly distributed, delivering that subtle imperial look that you desire for your home. 

·  Most people tend to forget that one of the most important principles of interior design is light. But, be sure to choose a warmer shade so the contrast doesn't appear too cool when paired with gold. An off-white warmed with red, brown, or gray undertones, such as chamois, ivory, or ash white, provides an ideal backdrop for gold accessories.
