6 Reasons to go Gaga for Gilt
Interior design is glaming up this season with a show of glitz. With these six finds fit for full trend commitment or flirtatious fling, we show you how to get the look at any level.
Money woes? Maybe so, but we can all feel flush with this gold bar door stop by Arik Levy. Designed to showcase your wit and carefree attitude, if not your wealth, this dose of glitz is actually made of aluminum and cast iron. For $67 what did you expect? Available at Unica Home.
Don't feel guilty about owning this retro modern, golden Lego speaker. It hooks up to and is charged by your iPod, so it's easy, portable, cool and did we mention affordable? Just $25 at GentSupplyCo.
Toast to glamor with the Mine & Yours champagne flutes from Swedish glass and crystal manufacturer Orrefors. These flutes may be sold singly but they're a must as a duo - create your perfect pair by choosing one of each design. $100 each at Orrefors.
Slim and eye-catching, these lux looking vases are held up by a magnetic piece slipped under the tablecloth. A mysterious vibe at a price that's just as mystifying - get a set of five for under $45. Available through Target.
For those ready to commit to the trend, a backsplash or band of gold hex tile will put you at the forefront of style. These metallic porcelain sheets are made with the real thing and priced to prove it: $125 per 12" x 12" sheet at Home Depot.
Do a dash of gold with this set of three decorative gold balls. A modern, metallic version of a ball of yarn, these golden spheres bring understated elegance when easily tossed into a modern bowl. $24 at Chiasso.
