Gorgeous Gilded Golden Walls @Kokoro London W2

Kokoro a fabulous store in London W2 which mixes Japanese inspired prints with the very latest cutting edge designs and techniques, reopened recently with a wonderful new refit of the interior. Designer & owner Dawn Green, had a clear vision for a golden gilded wall which we were able to transform for her on the everyday white walls. As light changes so does the golden wall, worth visiting both for the wonderful clothes and for the beautiful interiors, not to mention meeting the lovely Dawn!

Copper Leafing on Walls

Contemporary use of Metal leaf and particularly Copper Leaf, proved extremely effective for gilding in this architect designed garden extension in North London. The leaf mirrored the external copper cladding on the support walls to the floating roof. This echoed the design brief of creating a flowing space from interior to the exterior.

1. The copper leaf brings a gorgeous warmth and a beautiful contrast to the green mossy colours in the house and garden.

2. This wall receives sunlight all day long. As the light strikes the copper, the colours change with the passing hours bringing vibrancy and life to the wall.
