Glamorous Gold Lighting

Written by Progress Lighting | Apr 14, 2023 1:00:00 PM

Your home is your haven, and 2023 interior design trends continue to reflect our desire for comfort and stability. Warm, rich color palettes create a soothing yet vibrant vibe. In lighting, glamorous gold and brass finishes complement earthy tones and are even combined with materials like rattan to create a luxurious yet natural statement.

From satin brass to vintage gold, these finishes vary in sheen and texture, making them well-suited to many décor schemes. Warm gold colors are a perfect fit with bold hues like blue and purple and brown, creating a rich appearance in traditional or transitional rooms. Pair brighter golds with neutral, blue, or gray color palettes to add a luxe pop to a modern space. For vintage interiors, select lighting finished in gold with a brushed or aged patina to create old-world charm.

Here are some trending shades of gold lighting fixtures for 2023.

Vintage Brass


Featuring: Gilliam

Vintage Brass, which can be considered a traditional finish, is prized for the way it glows with a finely brushed, mellow, antiqued brass patina. But pair this classic finish with an artisanal design using organic materials, and it takes on a global style. Our Laila pendant is created from hand-knotted jute strands in an intricately woven, double-cage design and suspended from vintage brass chains, creating a delightful interplay of shadows and inviting ambient light.

For new traditional, transitional, and modern farmhouse settings a chandelier like Gilliam is ideal. Its slim circular silhouette is finished in timeless vintage brass, offering an ethereal quality to the space it occupies.

Brushed Gold


Featuring: Copeland

A deep, rich brushed texture gives an extra pop to fixtures, especially when they are completely coated in this gorgeous finish. The Perimeter Pendant features an iconic modern design defined by an elegant metal dome in brushed golf that makes a bold statement in mid-century modern and contemporary interiors. Our Copeland Vanity Light Collection accents its softened diamond silhouette shades with a simple arm and backplate set off by this lovely gold tone.  

Brushed Bronze

With a subtle brushed texture on soft golden bronze, our Brushed Bronze finish easily transitions into different lighting designs and interior styles. The Breckenridge chandelier, a rustic yet refined design, has stately candles accenting a vast circular frame, bouncing illumination off the soft finish with an inviting glow.

Brushed bronze can also take on a contemporary flair when modern fixtures are coated in this beautiful finish. Our Haas chandelier is organically inspired, with a bold linear frame that branches out to embrace smoothly etched opal glass globes to imbue spaces with warm illumination.

Satin Brass


Satin Brass adds a luxurious touch to today’s homes. Its soft brass color has a satin-smooth appearance that is subtle yet bold. The
Astra chandelier features a space-age-inspired design perfect for modern and mid-century décor. Six spoked arms radiate out from a cylindrical down rod suspended from a round canopy, all coated in a lovely satin brass finish, adding a touch of glamour.
