In recent years, the color gold as an interior style statement has gained an undeserved reputation as the preferred aesthetic of tyrannical dictators and unsophisticated oligarchs.
From the solid gold toilet of Saddam Hussein to Donald Trump's gold-plated penthouse in the Trump Tower, gold has been synonymous with bad taste and tacky displays of wealth.
