When we think gold, "subtle" isn't the first word that comes to mind — more like "glitzy," "glam," and even a little bit "gaudy." But right now, gold is having a moment. A subtle moment much in the same way that Audrey Hepburn might have a moment. It's understated and it's elegant. 

Gone are the gilded picture frames and painted figurines of stuffy old houses. This color is now making an appearance in modern decorative accents, like geode slice coasters with a gold leaf edge or gold candlesticks with a straight, modern silhouette. 

We'll look at how different interior design styles are incorporating this haute color, and share our favorite gold accents to add subtle sophistication to any space. 
<h2>How to incorporate gold accents into your home decor style </h2>

Here's a subtle design fact: Nearly every room in your house has items with a metallic finish.
