Rose gold decor continued to trend throughout 2017, and it seems to be entering the new year with the same gusto. The color is so versatile it can accentuate classic or contemporary color schemes. More importantly, an added splash for luxury or a splurge for a feminine influence will highlight a variety of color ornamentation or design concepts. The rose gold palette is not for everyone, but it can be with just the right touch.

When deciding on how much rose gold accent to add, it is essential to keep in mind the size of your home, the gender of household members, style concept, and budget. The average size of a single-family home is just above 2,600 square feet, so you have much space to cover if you want to makeover every room in your house. Before underscoring the beauty of your home with an over-abundance of rose gold accent, take a moment to think about how each piece can singularly transform the interior of your home.

  • Color Schemes: Before we talk about decor, let’s discuss color schemes. Pink metals have, for the most part, entered the realm of trendy decor over the last decade. Solid colors like neutral gray, white, or black are sure fits with rose gold as their colors make your decor the focal point in a room.

    Pastels, as well, are extremely functional in that rose gold fits with any changes you want to make in the future. Rose gold is a combination of 75 percent gold, 22.25 percent copper, and 2.75 percent silver components, so these blended metals mix well with many home furnishings.
