Couple that with the fact that the line between gorgeous and garish is a fine one, and you might find yourself hesitant to embrace the spate of metallic accessories showing up lately. But who can resist a bit of glimmer to lift the spirits? Try some silver fringe on a linen sofa or a big gold mirror in a tiny powder room to illuminate the season with a few gilt-y pleasures.
