When I first began designing my new workspace I quickly discovered one consistent theme that carried throughout all my inspirational images – the presence of subtle metallic elements. Based on my use of gold and silver foil in previous DIY projects (seen here, here and here), it’s fairly obvious that I love a good pop of metallic. For my workspace I wanted to branch away from the undone look I previously achieved through foiling and create something more muted and subdued. That is where this gold chair and lamp DIY came into play.
