Rediscovering Silver

Friday, April 21st, 2017

Hooker Furniture Living Room Thicket Console creates a powerful statement for your living room or the entryway.

Let’s begin getting to know silver by discussing its spot price. The spot price is the current price in which silver is being traded. The spot price is the reference for both silver and gold markets, crude oil, and other types of commodities.

Silver ores are mined by underground and open-pit methods. This refining process makes use of electrolysis where the ore is placed inside an electrolytic cell (containing positive electrode and negative electrode in an electrolyte mixture. The ores are then ground or crushed.

But how will you use the beauty of silver to make your home a more sophisticated place to live in?

Your Home and Silver

A person might be an expert in mixing and matching outfits but when it comes to home décor, mixing can be a tad more difficult. The fusion of metals is okay. In fact, it is a wonderful way of adding depth and character to any home.

Back in the ‘80s, it was taboo to mix metals. This advice has long been quashed, thank goodness. Mixing metals is now considered as the perfect strategy in adding depth and interest to any space. This is actually an effortless way to beautify your home. Just be careful that there won’t be too much metals so that your home would start to look too tacky.

Make Silver the Dominant Metal

Choosing metal finish means you have to define also which metal will take center stage. Select just a single dominant metal plus two metal accents to complete the look of your home. With silver as the primary metal and having it throughout your home guarantees that there will be a sense of unity. Accent metals are the ones that will guide the visitors’ eyes towards the focal metal.

Blend Silver

Be sure also to fuse warm and cooler tones of metals. For instance, gold and brass is a classic combination. Silver is a cool metal so you should marry it with warmer toned metals like brass and bronze.

A touch of silver would do but if you really have to show a little more, then be sure to soften it. The trick to using metallic pieces, especially when they are used to frame a mirror, is to mix them with softer textures. Velvet, mohair and wool can easily soften metallic accents or main furnishings.

This may be an age-old debate – whether metals can actually be mixed – but looking at sterling silver and polished brass, you know that you’re concocting something fashionable.

Silver + A Neutral Palette

When you are about to mix metallic pieces into any of your rooms, you might want to subdue your color palette a little. Brass will pair well with silver just as well as chrome and satin is a combo for palettes like white, gray and blue.

Neutral palettes are always a classic choice. Silver may not be the most common choice in kitchens (copper is the king with regard to metallic kitchen colors) but it can be used to such an extent that it can look just as timeless as other metals.

Silver Tinges First

Sure, silver ceiling is a great way to add interest in your space, but you have to know first if this is really for you. You gotta try something small first – a faux antique silver platter perhaps, or a silver tea set. These are a lot easier to change later on than having to paint your entire home in silver.

When still in doubt, just trust in your instinct. You can incorporate silver on your mirrors, gold furnishings, chandelier, and just about any decorative element. It can be a vignette or the main attraction, your interpretation of silver is really limitless.
