Trend Setting Metallics

Celebrate summer in style with trend setting glamorous home accessories and furnishings, finished in shimmering materials such as copper, brass, steal and mirror sure to bring a room to life.

The use of metallics in the home can be as bold or as prudent as you choose, that’s the wonder of the shimmer it catches your eye at any size; from statement furniture pieces to striking accessories, the choice is endless.

Accessories are a great way in incorporating metallics into a room without being to dominant. This minimal look is easy and effortless but can add something special to a room. Shimu has a fantastic range of metallic accessories that are small and subtle.

If subtlety isn't your thing make a statement with a feature radiator; Carron have a beautiful selection of traditional cast iron radiators, why not choose a hand burnished finish to fit the metallic trend.

The Old Radiator Company offer original cast iron radiators that have been lovingly restored, many of their designs are given that popular metallic finish.

Dramatic feature pieces also include dominant mirrors, perfectly complemented with ornate metallic frames. The French Furniture Company offer a wonderful selection of majestic mirrors finished in silver and gold leaf, that are sure to make a statement in any room.

Metallics can be used in any room of the house, why not opt for a metallic dining table or bedroom furniture? Metallic finishes spruce up any room or furniture, they can be used to add a contemporary finish to a traditional piece; bringing a timeless design into the present.

The Original Bedstead Company offer a variety of timeless designs finished in an array of textures and colours; take their antique nickel finish, as pictured below, for a hint of the metallic trend applied to classic design.

Or, for something more theatrical you could go for a predominantly metallic room. The French FurnitureCompany offer a star quality range of bedroom furnishings all with a metallic twist. We love the Regence collection pictured below, the twinkly silver finish is beautifully complemented with the use of gold dupion silk; very luxurious.

Metallics are versatile, they make for an interesting finish in the garden as well as the home. The use of metallics in the garden allow for sunlight to be captured and reflected brightening up even the dullest of days.  Metallics can be used in garden features and sculptures as well as furniture, but why not combine the two with an artistic piece from Chris Bose Contemporary Furniture.
