How to decorate your home with metallic colors? Gold, silver, copper and bronze they can be used to decorate any room in the house to which you want to give a chic and refined accent. The use of metallic finishes is in fact a way to give emphasis to environments. From wallpaper to floors, from furniture to objects, metal shades can be a guarantee of elegance. So here are some ideas on how to give your home a luxurious touch to the rooms thanks to the glow of metals.
Warm up the interior with metallic shades
Every room in the house is perfect for hosting the allure of copper, gold leaf and all other metal colors. Thanks to their nuances, metals are in fact capable of warm up the interior bringing out the true essence of each style.
Let’s think, for example, of the visual warmth that a oak parquet with gold leaf by Cadorin Groupcomposed of large wooden planks with the application of precious metals in gold leaf, or even silver or copper.
Or the warmth of the metallic walls, which can be decorated with paints or wallpaper with luminescent colors, such as that of Art from the Revera Patch collection.
Metallic shades are back in fashion
Gold and brass were a trend in the 80s, but fashions are back and today metals are a trend for interior design. From wallpaper to furniture and ornaments, if you want to add a glam touch to the bedroom or any other room in the house, just use some captivating accents given by the metallic finishes.
We could for example use the gold leaf toilet by Bizzotto from the Diamond collection, also available in the silver leaf version. Perfect for the bedroom but also for the other rooms of the house, it has a strong character thanks to its metallic finish.
Gold, brass, silver, copper and other metals to dress the lamps
Metals are also proposed to add creative accents to lighting systems: chandeliers, wall lamps and floor and table lamps are increasingly dressed in metallic shades, bringing that precious touch into the home that never hurts.
Here, for example, is the suspension lamp in blown Murano glass where the gold leaf is patiently applied by hand and then let the light pass through its natural cracks.
Metallic colors also for those who love cold interiors
If your decorative style is more towards a more contemporary and industrial approach, metallic finishes can be used for walls, ceilings, cabinets and other surfaces by choosing cooler shades such as nickel or iron.
Here, for example, is the Metallica glazed porcelain stoneware floor / wall covering by Casalgrande Padana, characterized by the particular metallized processing of the finishing layer available in stainless steel, copper, nickel and iron colors.
Metallic finishes also in the bathroom and kitchen
The metallic finishes can also be used in environments such as the bathroom or the kitchen as gold, nickel, chrome, aluminum and steel are durable metals and thanks to their high reflective qualities they can give brightness and emphasis to environments often without large window surfaces or relegated to small corners.
Why not choose the Mida bathtub by Devon & Devon decorated with the application of 24 carat gold leaf.
Or, to give a metallic accent to the washbasin area, the round countertop washbasin in Murano glass by Glass Design with internal gold leaf.
Metallic colors and finishes where you don’t expect
A touch of glamor can also be added thanks to metal elements that hide their true functionality.
Here for example i Saturn & Moon chrome wall-mounted radiators by Antrax designed by Peter Rankin. Choosing between the chrome and gold finish, they fit perfectly in any home and thanks to the totally hidden system they are able to decorate and heat the house at the same time.
