If you're looking to bring a touch of glamor into your home, metallic accents aren't difficult to incorporate: a brass lamp, a gold-framed mirror, or even a few polished candlesticks will complete the look. When it comes to more contemporary interiors, however, metallics can feel like a risky choice – but I'm certain we'll be seeing plenty of dazzling decor in 2026.
While brass, nickel and chrome have all had their time in the spotlight over the past few years, I've found myself leaning toward classic gold details recently. Decorating with gold isn't just about breathing new life into antiques and flea market finds; approached with precision, it can bring sleekness and sophistication to even the simplest spaces.
