Interior Designers say Gold is back

I just read that gold is back!  Not only in Sochi, but in the glimmer of the eyes of interior designers everywhere.  Silver tones have been our friends for a long time, but now little gold accents are appearing in beautifully designed homes and I'm loving it!  I pulled the photo above from Houzz; the gold accents most definitely pop in this zen-like space.

According to Tracy Hobson Lehmann "In a scene long dominated by the silver tones of stainless steel, nickel and chrome, consumers are warming to gold."  I have to agree that clean lined mid-century pieces work quite well in this warm metal, no longer the polished brass of the eighties; thank heavens.
Just keep it toned down; after all, a little does go a long way.
