From Christy:
Who would ever think that gold and bronze would make a comeback? It’s happening in the world of home decor. Certain metallics such as gold, silver, copper and brass are hot in decorating right now. They add that pizzazz every room needs. Their shimmering looks add shine and bounce light, which can make a room seem lighter and larger. How can you include metallics in your home decor?
1. Start small. Approach it like you are picking out jewelry for an outfit. Don’t be afraid to mix metals to make your accessorizing a bit more interesting. Pull gold decorative items into a room with silver. Think about including them in tablescapes and on bookcases.
2. How about using gold, silver or brass spray paint on rocks, shells, or books to give them a different look like in this candle arrangement?
3. You can even partially paint a piece of furniture a metallic finish for a unique look as in this table. It’s definitely a conversation piece.
4. Have you ever thought of using a metallic wallpaper on a ceiling? One homeowner repeats used gold in the urchin light fixture, mirror, and upholstered ottomans. The high-gloss walls complete the look. Are you bold enough to try this?
5. How about gold-leaf embellished drapery? Definitely brings your eye up to the ceiling. You could do the same thing to throw pillows to repeat the metallic look at a lower level in the room.
6. Vintage chandeliers are big now, too. They’re being used in various rooms in the house even the bathroom as is pictured below. A gold chandelier completes the vintage look of this room and how mixing gold and silver make the room anything but boring.
7. I’m sure you have seen gold tubs featured in decorating/home improvement magazines.
8. For a classic look, think about mixing black and gold in a room.
9. If you’ve been on Pinterest lately, you’ve see plenty of farmhouse- style photos. Copper items are featured a lot because they present a rustic look.
10. Metallics look good when paired with glass, too. The glass table opens up a room and the metal bounces light – making the room look larger.
There you have it, 10 amazing ideas to include metallics in your home decor. You have to admit that there is an interesting look in every one of these examples. Which is your favorite – which one you would try in your home?
