6 Tips for Bringing Metallic Decor into Your Home

This material is known for being tough enough to last several years, as well as easy to keep clean. Plus, metal furniture and decor isn’t just practical – it’s also stylish and nice to look at, no matter where you put it!

Gone are the days when the design rule of thumb was ‘never mix metals.’ Now, pairing gold and silver, tarnish and shine is not only accepted but also embraced – making it easier to experiment with fun and unusual color combos.

Pair tarnished copper, gold and silver against rustic textures – like exposed brick – for industrial chic at its finest.

If you’re looking to incorporate metallic accents into your home, think outside the box; while mirrors aren’t normally thought of as ‘metallics,’ when featured in stand-out designs – like in the decorative desk pictured below – they offer a refreshing, breathtaking aesthetic.

Of course, metal is also a good choice for the great outdoors. After all, this material can stand up to harsh weather, as it’s typically too heavy to fly away during a storm and can withstand some wear and tear over the years. If you need a sturdy spot to eat dinner on a nice night on the patio, look into a metal outdoor dining set that can fit the whole family.

If you think you’ll want to stay outside after dinner and have a drink while staring at the stars, you might want to buy a metal outdoor lounge with plenty of cushioning – as well as a metal outdoor bar to position in front of it for the ultimate in comfort and convenience.

Finally, there’s aluminum, which is both lightweight and strong at the same time. It’s also affordable and doesn’t rust, so buyers tend to love this metal when they’re in the market for indoor or outdoor furniture. If you like a modern, trendy look for your home, you’ll love the industrial feel aluminum can add to any room.
