The trend for metallics shows no sign of abating. We’re wearing them, we’re decorating with them and they still look as gorgeous as ever. I’ve been in love with metallics for ages: my kitchen has a tin ceiling and my bathroom has metallic silver tiles behind the basin. I’ve also got a pair of metallic gold brogues but that is possibly another story. Anyway, for that reason, this week, we are mostly mad about metallics.
This slightly distressed metallic wallpaper works brilliantly with the industrial look furniture and accessorising.
Regular readers will know I have a metallic tin ceiling in my kitchen so here’s a different one.
Or this is a very industrial version of a metal ceiling. It’s corrugated tin but it works with the styling of the room.
What about this rather fabulous metallic table, which really brings the room alive.
Or perhaps you should keep the walls matt and just for go for a shiny metallic bath
Or what about this one?
So now for the shopping part. Where can you get some gorgeous metallics?
I have featured the work of Antiques by Design before in a post on lighting but how about this gorgeous hall console table made from French church railings?
Or what about this Moroccan tray table?
I love this brass stool.
Tom Dixon’s Copper light is very familiar now (although no less beautiful) but he has just added these distressed metal lights to his range.
The pineapple is one of my favourite motifs so to find it in metallics is a joyous thing indeed
This metal stool from Bodie and Fou is perfect for an extra guest or as a little table for someone who needs to rest a drink.
Great metallic picks– you know I love *your* kitchen ceiling, but the one pictured here (full-length of the room) is beautiful too! And those tubs paired with the antique-venetian style mirrors [which I’m a huge fan of] are amazing.
We love good quality metals! They can be so tactile and sleek. My favourites are the three aluminium finishes from bulthaup – especially bronze aluminium. No one else does it!
