Hi everyone! I'm Adriana from Daily Dose of
Design. I live in New York and blog all things fashion, interior
design, DIY, and lifestyle. For the past couple of months (more than I would like to admit)
I've been doing a bedroom makeover! For this makeover I decided I wanted silver
decor and accents instead of gold, which can be more typical to decorate with. I
thought silver would go together nicely with my room color, a light turquoise tone. I also have some black accents in my bedroom including a fantastic black chair, which I've also utilized silver decorative accents to highlight. Decorating with silver decor really does add a luxe feel to your space.
This insanely gorgeous living room (above) is designed in a minimal color palette with black, white and silvers - but the pops of pink and turquoise make the silver tones stand out and give such a glam feel! I am loving the silver nailheads as a glam accent on the sofa as well, along with that fab silver beaded chandelier. This space uses silver minimally, but it goes a long way. Interested in a furniture with silver nailheads? Look here, here and here.
Since I've become somewhat of a pro (or so I like to think) on decorating with silver tones, I decided to round up some gorgeous silver home decor pieces that are perfect for a bedroom or living room, so stay tuned for that at the end of this post. Adding a metallic color like silver can brighten up a room and looks extremely elegant whether you're decorating a large space or small.

While many metals are silver in tone, you can create a silver motif using silver paint as a fresh and surprising way of decorating with silver. In the luxe space above a silver frame featuring a fine-art photograph is placed elegantly above a custom, silver-painted console. So elegant and unique! Want to break out the silver paint and begin creating? Get a few pointers here and here.

Silver can also be made more feminine or masculine depending
on the colors you pair silver tones with. For example, making a room more
masculine using silver could be achieved by adding charcoal gray, cream and
blacks. To make a space more feminine, mix in silver with pinks, turquoise or lavender shades.
Silver also looks SO gorgeous when used to add texture to your walls (see below) or as a surprising element in a glamorous bathroom, like this silver bathtub shown below.

And if you can't commit to silver all the way, silver actually looks quite nice with gold. Take a look at this silver space below with pops of gold. Silver really can be a neutral!
