Like in fashion, the traditional rules of interior design are made to be broken \u2014 especially in this modern age of freewheeling creativity, bold boundary-pushing, and deliberate individuality in our homes\u2019 decor. Challenge the old guard of uniform colors and materials by incorporating a whole spectrum of metallic hues and finishes. \u201cAll the best designers know there’s no magic in being matchy-matchy \u2014 and that policy is true for metals as well as bedroom sets. Instead of agonizing over the “right” metallic finish, consider mixing them up,\u201d says House Beautiful<\/em> editor Nikhita Mahtani.<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Read below for more tips from the experts, and Stowers\u2019<\/a> own picks for metallic furnishings big and small, all designed to mix and match with abandon in any style of home.<\/div>\n

Supersized Shine<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\u201cFirst things first \u2013 remember that metallics aren\u2019t only actual metals,\u201d notes LuxDeco\u2019s design blog<\/a>. \u201cMetallic tones can be found in just about anything you can think of \u2013 artwork, \u00e9glomis\u00e9 glass, embroidered curtains, wall coverings and (especially) upholstery \u2013 so keep that as an option if you\u2019re looking to try this look.\u201d Destined to be your living room\u2019s newest statement piece, this sumptuous sofa from Marge Carson\u2019s MC Avenue collection<\/a> covers multiple metallic bases, from the gold-tinged effect of the upholstery and gleaming jacquard throw pillows, to the aged gold leaf and bronze star nailhead trims. If your design aesthetic leans in a more modern direction, opt for pieces with cleaner, contemporary lines. Stainless steel and brass come together in unexpected harmony in the chain-inspired pedestal design of Chaddock\u2019s Nicos Round Cocktail Table<\/a>, while the Quantum Media Console by Sligh<\/a> showcases bronze mirror details against a backdrop of mahogany veneer and rich nutmeg hardwoods.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Flashes of Style<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Little details go a long way in elevating the entire look and feel of a room. \u201cIf you\u2019re too scared to go all out with finishes, it\u2019s always a good idea to start small\u2014but don\u2019t go the basic route by just picking two colors on one hanging light fixture and calling it a day. Instead, try using accessories to give your home the punch it needs, without too much commitment,\u201d Mahtani explains<\/a>. As far as lighting goes, we\u2019re not ones to discount the impact of a sparkling chandelier. A Stowers showroom favorite, Uttermost<\/a> produces a wide range of hanging fixtures artfully crafted from silvery Swedish iron<\/a>, burnished gold metal<\/a>, and dark antique and weathered bronze<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And the family-owned brand doesn\u2019t stop there: Uttermost\u2019s decorative accessories are something to behold. \u201cWhen using metals, don\u2019t forget to consider texture. Texture can make all of the difference in a space with mixed metals. Combine matte, polished, and hammered finishes to create a visually rich atmosphere,\u201d Kathy Kuo Home\u2019s Calvin Claudio describes<\/a>. Play up the textural diversity in your home by adorning your walls with a hand-forged and hand-hammered metal mirror<\/a> that\u2019s finished with antique gold leaf, juxtaposed with the geometric lines of these cutout iron panels<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
