Modern design isn’t just about clean lines—it’s about making a statement. This month’s #DesignsByErica Style Guide embraces modern glam with a dramatic black and gold palette that exudes confidence, luxury, and sophistication. Whether you’re refreshing a single room or reimagining your forever home, these curated details prove that bold doesn’t have to mean overdone. Instead, it’s about balance: pairing dramatic elements with thoughtful textures to create a space that feels elevated, intentional, and uniquely you.
The September Style Guide
Here are our curated selections to inspire your next space:
Chandelier – Crate & Barrel
A sculptural light fixture is more than illumination—it’s art. A chandelier in bold black with gold accents instantly elevates your ceiling and becomes the centerpiece of the room.
Lion Statue – Birch Lane
This statement accessory adds both strength and personality, embodying the unapologetic vibe of modern glam. It’s the kind of detail that sparks conversation and creates presence.
Snake Candle – Anthropologie
Moody and artistic, this candle doubles as décor, layering in subtle edge and texture. It’s proof that even the smallest details can make a room feel curated and polished.
Blanket Basket – Birch Lane
Function meets flair. Even your storage can be stylish with woven textures in deep, grounding tones that keep your space organized without sacrificing design.
Wall Art – Rejuvenation
Abstract wall art in black and gold ties the look together and anchors the room with visual depth. It’s a finishing touch that makes the entire palette cohesive.
Why Black & Gold Works
Black and gold is a timeless pairing—it’s bold, yet versatile. Black grounds a space with modern edge, while gold brings warmth, glamour, and light. Together, they create a balance that feels chic yet livable. This palette adapts beautifully: pair it with marble for a luxury feel, contrast it with natural woods for balance, or layer it with rich fabrics for drama. Whether you’re staging a property for sale or designing your forever home, this color story ensures your interiors leave a lasting impression.
