High shine decor is in the spotlight and the timing couldn’t be better. Holiday season glamour, new year celebrations, and dopamine-fueled interior design trends have this very cool finish claiming its rightful place as a star within our homes. The metallic aesthetic has also made a case for use beyond more traditional spaces like entertaining rooms and the kitchen. Now, the home’s foyer, powder rooms, bedrooms, home offices and beyond are getting an injection of this gleaming polish.
Metallics are no stranger to interior palettes, with hardware fixtures, lighting, and decorative accents being the typical go-to placements for the tones. What makes this design moment different is the dramatic shift that focuses on increased saturation for even more impact. It’s all about the bold use of metallics to make a major statement, and a look to the fashion industry supports the popularity of this trend with consumers. A wave of foiled ensembles has taken centre stage, demanding attention and offering a chic update to holiday dressing that can effortlessly transition into 2023.
A variety of metallic hues bring the opportunity for a more personalized styling approach – from classic silver and gold, to copper and more playful shades like pink making an appearance. And, mixing metallics is definitely not a faux pas, offering an eclectic touch that will deliver a burst of personality to your space. For major impact choose metallic furniture, wallpaper (even a mix of both) in multiple tones; or take the monochromatic route and choose one shiny finish that aligns with your current colour theme for a cohesive, high-fashion feel. Don’t forget to accentuate your space with multiple lustrous pieces via wall art, kitchen accessories, and decor items for the most fabulous effect.
