Not all that glitters is gold. Today, it’s likelier to be
brass. While chrome and stainless steel previously dominated the world of
interior design as must-have metals, the trends are now shifting towards the
softer and warmer shades of copper, bronze, and brass.
Better still, you don’t have to fill your home up with
brass sheets and tubing just to maximize their aesthetics. In fact, less is
more when it comes to this metal.
Frame It
If you live in a small space, big mirrors are an
excellent way to make your living area look bigger. Frame those mirrors with
brass tubing to infuse an elegant, warm glow into your room.
Light it up
Brass is highly-desirable when it comes to lighting
fixtures. You can use brass in all sorts of lighting, from bedside lamps and
hanging lamps, to smaller desk lamps.
As Tables
In addition, choice brass furniture make excellent statement
pieces. For instance, a brass coffee table can define a whole room. Just make
sure to top it with transparent glass so that its looks
are always visible.
As Cutlery
Level up the sophistication of your dinner parties by
opting for brass or copper cutlery. They’re best paired with snowy-white dining
ware, so the golden tones of these cutlery stand out clearly.
As Curtain Rods
If you prefer really subtle brass touches, curtain rods
are a great place to start. You get that antique charm without overwhelming the
other design elements in your home.
These are just a few ideas on how to incorporate the
warmth of brass and copper into your home design. No matter which you choose to
apply, one thing’s for sure— that these will stay beautiful for many years to
come.
