Christmas is a time of gatherings, celebration and nesting because, “Baby, it’s cold outside.” So it’s more important than ever to create a warm, inviting and festive space with light, bright touches to get you through the winter. And nothing is better for glamming up a room than decorating with metallics.
A collection of bronze, silver and gold accent pieces and Christmas ornaments add a festive look to this contemporary living room. Image:
