HOW TO WORK THIS LOOK

l When you combine gold with white, it brings out the best of both colours. Gold warms up white tones to make them feel bright but still cosy, while white reflects beautifully in gold to make it seem even more glitzy.

l Add touches of gold to a white scheme using delicate accents. Try adding golden braids to the edges of cushions and upholstery or choosing furniture with brass or goldfinished legs. You can also add your own gold touches to existing furniture with gilding wax or gold leaf.

l Brass and gold finishes are the modern alternative to traditional chrome in the bathroom. These warm tones are ideal for en suites as they blend into cosy bedroom schemes, creating a better sense of flow between the rooms.
