A party designer from New York has revealed that he rarely uses silver as part of his Christmas decorative schemes, preferring to use gold because of its warm tones.
In a recent interview with the New York Times, David Monn claimed that gold is something that makes people "feel good".
He detailed a recent shopping list to stock up in gold decorative items, which took him to a store in the West Village where he found a vintage Italian ceramic bowl that featured gold leaf.
Mr Monn explained that the piece could be used as a stand-alone item or as a vase, while he also spotted a handmade Christmas tree in gold wire to fit in with his colour palette.
Describing the tree from Nest Interiors, in Chelsea, he said he saw it as "an object of art on my coffee table or my dining table".
In the last year, Mr Monn has offered up his services for a state dinner at the White House, along with benefits at the Guggenheim Museum and New York Public Library.
He also designed the party for a Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the New York City Ballet's Spring Gala Benefit, where white butterflies and crystals were strung from the ceiling on wires.
