Fall is the best season to bring out the beauty of metals in your home. All metallic inspirations are welcome not only because they are a hot trend but also because the rich colors of brass, gold, chrome, nickel and copper all offer the perfect hues for the season.
Metals are definitely here to stay so it would be a waste if you won’t join many others who have finally embraced the beauty and glimmer that these materials offer. If you’re convinced that you could give metallic interiors a shot, here are some ideas –
The Details Count – A Lot
Metallic interiors are equal to beautiful, livable and posh interiors. Prepare to get a lot of attention as your home would be oozing with style. As you use metals, though, make sure that you don’t forget to add comfort and a homely appeal, still.
Metals offer timeless beauty especially if you know how to use them. Sure, they often go with modern themes but don’t be imprisoned by this thought. Even traditional homes would look great with the right kind of metal furnishings or accessories.
Metal is also industrial although it may also not mean this motif all the time. It can also be used in the creation of glamorous yet soft areas in your home.
Metal does not automatically mean cold or uncomfortable. This can also offer warmth and an inviting interior so long as you use correct juxtapositions. An example is the plush white cotton paired with the sturdiness of a metal bed frame.
Metal at the End of 2016
It has been forecasted that metals will be big this year and those who predicted this were correct. Metal has the power to tie a room altogether, even with the tiniest details. Brass handrails, copper taps, even metal door handles may be small additions yet they could feature the architectural part of your home or could make furnishings appear special.
It is, indeed, the end of the year 2016 so you can exit this year with a huge bang. Metals can bring in new style to your home so there is no reason not to embrace it. Don’t think that it’s meant to overpower since it can be softened with the use of some accessories.
Metal wall finishes like textured panels provide the perfect industrial look. Metal flooring, on the other hand, can be the welcome respite in any monochromatic space.
The hottest metals in the market these days are these three – copper, rose gold and bronze. The first and last metals have always been on top of the list. Rose gold is young, warm and glamorous just like its classic counterparts. Copper and bronze are edgy and current, two characteristics that are rarely offered by other metal types.

And the Winner Is…Copper!
Rich copper is great during fall. This is that golden hue in your kitchen provided by the hammered countertops and backsplash tiles. Copper has always been a go-to metal in terms of warm aesthetics.
Copper is also perfect in the fireplace. Most fireplaces come with natural rocks, tiles or bricks but there is this growing trend where copper can also be used. Reclaimed copper sheets can be used as trimming for the interiors. Ask an artisan to assist you with the installation to ensure utmost safety in your home.
Copper is hotter than hot. Brass and gold may be the biggies during 1980s but copper is a trend that keeps coming back. Adding glam to your bedroom is as easy as having metallic wallpaper installed. Just have one wall with this color as it can overcome the senses if you use more than a statement wall.
