If you’d like to add a bit of glitz, glamour and shine to your home, you’ll be happy to know that metallic home decor pieces are part of what’s trending in 2014. To help you translate this hot trend, we’ve gathered some tips on how to successfully add some metallic magic to your home:
- Just do it. If done right, metallic decor can fit into anyone’s style from classic tocontemporary.
- To update the look, ditch the golds and silvers, and opt for warmer metallics like brass, copper, gun metal as well as rose and brushed gold.
- To keep it looking modern, mix and match different finishes.
- Start small, especially if you’re scared of over doing it. Find accent pieces like metallic vases, picture frames, scatter cushions, fabrics, rugs, lighting fixtures and accessories. Another subtle way to incorporate the trend is to buy furniture that has a metallic finish.
- Another great way to incorporate this trend is by using metallic wallpaper or paint in your space. Just ensure that you stick to subtle prints and shades when doing full room coverage, but if you are creating an accent wall, you can use bolder and more dramatic metallic wallpaper and paints.
- Think outside of the box. The metallic trend is all about creative design so think of how to feature it in unexpected ways.
- If you’re still not ready to commit to this trend but would like to try it out, buy some metallic homeware like a bronze ice bucket, carafe and tumbler set for entertaining.
- Lastly, don’t overdo it. It will make your home overwhelming.
