Metallics are easy to weave into your homewares and can instantly create an elevated industrial look in your home that is modern and sophisticated, yet classic. But it\u2019s a trend that can be easily overdone. So how do you get a look that strikes the right balance between chic and timeless without slapping metallic paint on everything you can find or adding garish pieces of metallic wall art d\u00e9cor? After all, you don\u2019t want to blind your guests with dazzling shiny metallics every time they walk in your door!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve compiled our top decorating tips so you can add a tasteful touch of metallics in your home.<\/p>\n

Living room d\u00e9cor ideas using metallics<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Metallics in the home look great in small doses. By adding a metallic finish or a silvery sheen here and there you can elevate your home, creating a sleek, modern look in any space.<\/p>\n

The best part about this trend is that you only need one or two pieces to create a luminous sheen in your spaces. When it comes to metallics in the home, less is definitely more.<\/p>\n

Copper and rose gold tones have had a lengthy time in the limelight in recent years. This year, those colours made way for gold and brass, which retain a more classic, timeless feel. Stainless steel and chrome remain trendy, while the classic black matte trend isn\u2019t looking likely to fade anytime soon. On-trend metal decor can range from highly polished to a dusty metal for a toned-down look.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also seeing more tarnished metals in the homewares and design space. This look can have more of an industrial feel or could drift into antique-style homewares, depending on how you interpret the trend.<\/p>\n

Mixing metals in moderation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The mixed-metal look has proved to be a huge trend<\/a> this year. While you can use just one colour like gold, it\u2019s fun to mix and match, and this can create a look with a little more depth. You could also try using all warm metallics like shades of gold and brass with white, or use cool chrome, silver, and pewter tones.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to mix your metals. Rather than playing it safe with metals in the obvious places like light fixtures, tap hardware, and furniture legs, get creative! Try hanging metallic wall art d\u00e9cor, use metallic paint with a slight sheen, or mix up natural materials like wood with a touch of metal.<\/p>\n

A more eclectic look often feels more modern. Therefore, try mixing opposing finishes; matte and shiny, or patterned with plain to create intrigue for the eye.<\/p>\n

The best way to incorporate metals in your home is by using it unexpectedly. Try using metals in cushions by combining more muted pastels with a gold sheen, mixing in a silver candle with creamy neutrals; or adding a gold hanging plant pot which pops against the greenery.<\/p>\n

\"silver<\/a><\/p>\n

Mix gold with chrome or black hardware; these can go with almost anything. A chrome lamp can make your office space instantly sleek, and a galaxy-style swirl of paint on a canvas with gold detailing can provide intrigue on your otherwise bare and boring walls.<\/p>\n

Metallic wall art d\u00e9cor<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you want the metallic homewares look, a piece of wall art is one of the easiest ways to incorporate this look. It also means it\u2019s easy to swap pieces out if you decide you want a change. As with furniture and other homewares pieces, metallic wall art d\u00e9cor works best in moderation. Therefore, it\u2019s best to either opt for one high-shine statement piece, or invest in a couple of select canvas prints with a slight metallic sheen; a shimmering splash of gold, or a streak of silver iridescence.<\/p>\n
