Going for gold!

Wow - what else can we talk about today other than gold! We are so proud of swimmer Cameron van den Burgh for bagging South Africa's first Olympic gold medal for 2012, and doing so at a world record pace. Congrats, Cameron!

If you want to treat yourself to the colour of champions in your bedroom, here are a few suggestions:

Go all out with layer upon layer of soft, subtle shades of gold in wallpaper, headboard, bedding and accessories, and vary the scale of the pattern.

Limit the gold to headboard and lampshade:

Just a touch of gold in the lighting goes a long way to adding glamour:
