This is last in a series of posts dedicated to decorating with colors that are especially beautiful at Christmas. And it doesn't get any prettier that SILVER. There are two kinds of silver. One is icy cool while the other is more burnished, almost nickel in appearance. It's my favorite and what I call warm silver. Nothing brings sparkle and shine to a room quite like silver. And being a southern girl, I do love sterling silver and actually enjoy polishing and using my antique pieces for entertaining. Decorating with silver is great for creating stylish and impressive rooms that when done right, can look very expensive. The use of mirrors can give a room a silver glow also, so don't forget that this is an alternative to painting. I would suggest mercury glass mirrors for wall space as it tends to have more of a timeless Old World appeal. Whether you paint, paper, upholstery, or accessorize with it, you will love the glow of silver in your interiors.
Enjoy and take in the sparkle and glow.

This is a beautiful room with its layers of silver from the stripped silver wallpaper to the shimmering reptilian fabric on the chairs. Add in the metallic draperies and what could possibly be a burnished ceiling ( hard to tell from this pic) and this room GLOWS.
