Too Glam to Give a Damn: Decorating with Warm Metallics
Matte finishes have been trending for some time now, but if you stick exclusively to this unassuming style, your room can appear dull. That?s where metallics come in to save the day. These glossy finishes can bring instant luxury to any space, especially if you opt for warm hues like bronze, copper, gold or rose gold. However, there is much more to decorating with metallic finishes than simply scattering them around the house. You have to keep new design trends on mind and know how to mix and match them. Fortunately, you will have this guide to help you make your house shine.
Know your metals
Before you get down to work, you need to know how to choose the metal or metals you will use. This will depend on your preferences and what you want to accomplish. Here is what you need to know about the most popular warm metals:
Gold is the metal you choose when you want your house to reflect traditional luxury. Since it is very bright and conspicuous, it is best when introduced with centerpieces such as chandeliers, artwork frames, etc. It can fit into both dark and bright rooms. If you want something similar to gold, yet toned down, opt for brass.
Rose gold is another take on this majestic metal, but like brass, slightly subdued.
Copper is the epitome of rustic glam, which means it goes perfectly with raw natural materials (e.g., hardwood).
Like copper, bronze makes a perfect marriage with natural materials, such as wood and stone.
