One classic way to add a bit of glam to a room is by accenting with gold. In a pieces both big and small, the shiny hue captures the eye and gives off a luxe effect.
If you are after a hint of shine, try a small item, such as a candle holder or something with a bit of humor and whimsy like a this chubby little hippo or a playful vide poche. For more impact, try a larger piece in the form of an end table or lamp. Either way, adding some gold to your home warms the overall look of the space and adds a bit of classic glam.

I bought the Urban Outfitters pendant shade (#4) and waited forever for it to arrive as it was backordered. When it showed up, it was nowhere near gold. It was a dark copper color, almost black! Beware!
Great. Thanks AT. I didn't know I needed an $88 gold hippo in my life until now. Goodbye money, hello Janet.
OMG, I have a gold frog, but I love gold hippo even more! Great find.
I am desperate for the perfect side table and just found it! Thanks :)
I am sorry, but while the hippo is unique.. its not worth 88 dollars. If you want that same look for cheap.. buy a toy hippo, spray paint it gold.. http://alturl.com/i58uw
never knew i'd be attracted to a gold hippo.
