Metallic Finishes
In interior design, there are few things as powerful as metallic finishes. They are the designer’s best-kept secret, the finishing touch that can turn a room from mundane into magical. More than a trend, metallics are an enduring means of adding a shot of glamour, sophistication, and visual interest to any space. Whether your design tastes run towards sleek modernity, warm traditionalism, or something in between, the clever application of metal can yield a multi-dimensional, dynamic, and totally engaging visual style that’s increasing in popularity with each passing day.
What Are Metallic Finishes?
In interior design, a metallic finish is a surface on furniture, hardware, lighting, or accessories that has the visual characteristics of metal. It is primarily used to introduce a reflective, textural element that breaks up the matte surfaces and plays with light. Unlike flat woods or paints, metallic surfaces reflect and bounce light throughout a room, adding a sense of depth, movement, and brightness. This has the ability to make a small space appear large and a dark space appear brighter.
It’s also useful to differentiate between actual metals and metallic-looking materials. Brass, copper, or chrome are hard to beat in terms of authenticity and longevity but are usually more expensive and require special upkeep. Modern breakthroughs in materials such as metallic paint, lacquer finishes, and high-end plating provide the same high-end appearance with more affordability and even greater usability in some cases.
