We are moving to more exciting and colourful interiors, where gold, copper and brass colours fit really rather well, especially with blue and green textiles and black feature walls.

- Tom Dixon

As a self-taught designer that discovered his career through metalwork, the acclaimed creative director who has become a modern British institution in design, sees endless possibilities and potential in metal. “But of course, gold is the most noble of materials, and immediately gives a certain glamour to any object,” he says.

“
I love setting a table with gold accents and plates, I keep it simple with all the other elements and it brings a nice balance – it’s elegant without going over the top. Around the house, I have gold accents in candles, library objects, art and picture frames.

Just like fashion, you want to add that one detail that completes your look and brings out the fun and personality – gold has the power to do just that.”
