I've created lairs for black, green, red, and now gold dragons. However, this is the first lair I've created for a metallic dragon, and gold dragons in particular are known to take on humanoid forms often, even in their own lairs. As such, the dragon's treasure room has been made to accommodate that, with humanoid furniture and chests. Additionally, gold dragons are known to study magic and become wizards, so I included a bookcase filled with rare and ancient tomes as well. I also imagine gold dragons aren't above keeping large stone statues of their likeness around their lair.
The chamber in the bottom left has bars and a locked door. It can serve as a holding cell if the dragon needs it, but can also be used for storing animals that the minions might use as mounts or for food. The minions can stay in the room at the bottom left, where there are plenty of mats to sleep on. Kobolds would be a good choice here.
The circular orange and green object in the center of the lair is of particular note. Gold dragons like to lair in places that are inherently magical, so I imagine this particular dragon built his lair around a portal to the plane of fire. Thanks to its fire immunity, the dragon could also venture into the plane of fire whenever it wanted. The last area of interest is the upper most chamber in the lair, where the dragon and it's minions can enjoy a large hot spring heated by subterranean magma.
