What Colours Go With a Gold Display Cabinet?

Gold display cabinets look their richest against deep, saturated colours such as navy, forest green, emerald and charcoal, and they sit calmly beside warm neutrals like ivory, stone and taupe.

There is advice on balancing finishes at different heights, which rooms suit mixing and which are better kept simple, along with the mistakes that undermine a scheme. A five minute test and a short FAQ finish the guide....
