The invention relates to a method for producing a multilayer element (100, 200, 300, 400) and to a multilayer element (100, 200, 300, 400) produced using said method. A single-layer or multi-layer first décor layer (3) is applied to a carrier layer having a first side (11) and a second side (12). A metal layer (5) is applied to the side of the first décor layer (3) facing away from the carrier layer and is structured such that the metal layer (5) has a first thickness in one or more first zones (8) and a second thickness, different from the first thickness, in one or more second zones (9), wherein the second thickness is in particular equal to zero. A single-layer or multi-layer second décor layer (7) is applied to the side of the metal layer (5) facing away from the first décor layer (3), and using the metal layer (5) as a mask, is structured in such a manner that the first décor layer (3) and/or second décor layer (7) is at least partially removed in the first zones (8) or second zones (9).
