Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Choose a dominant metal finish to serve as the anchor for your design, such as the metal finish on your largest furniture piece or a statement lighting fixture.

  2. Introduce complementary metal finishes in smaller accent pieces like side tables, picture frames, vases, and other decorative items.

  3. Maintain a sense of balance by mixing warm and cool tones and spreading metal finishes throughout the room rather than clustering them.

  4. Vary the placement of each metal finish throughout the room to create a balanced and visually appealing look.

  5. Mix different textures by combining shiny, polished metals with brushed or matte finishes to add interest.

  6. Apply these principles in specific rooms: in the kitchen, mix stainless steel appliances with copper accents; in the living room, combine brass floor lamps with silver end tables; in the bedroom, mix gold and silver finishes on bedside tables and lighting fixtures.
