Metallics are here to stay, and a great way to add that designer touch and eclectic look that we are seeing everywhere. Below we show some great ways to incorporate these beautiful metals from the warm tones of gold, copper, and brass materials to the cool tones of nickel, chrome, and stainless steal. The nice thing about metallic is that it doesn’t have to be matchy matchy. If the finish doesn’t match exactly that is ok as long as you love the piece it will work. If you play it right, you can even mix silvers with gold and bronzes. In fact, it is even encouraged but a lot of designers!

1. Accessories

You can use a large array of metallic-like items that match your room. It can be a vase, a bowl, a candle, a picture frame, a light fixture, and so much more. Even pillows with a metallic surface can add so much to a room or a sofa.

2. Furniture

There are some great furniture pieces that are fly mirrored, or bronzed legged. They can be used to enhance a room’s elegance or to add a different touch to a shabby-chic room. There are so many possibilities. These are a couple pieces that we carry that are great for this.

3. Accent walls
