How to balance the metallic trend in your interiors

When looking at the range of metallic lights at The Lighting Warehouse, there’s no doubt in our mind why the trend keeps on evolving across the board in interiors. Adding a touch of metallic to your interior décor composition is a great way to making the space in question infinitely more glamorous. however the key with this look is adding to the space instead of overdoing it.

Here’s some tips on how to create a balance:

The soft touch

Mix metallics in with different, softer textures to balance them out.

A neutral palette

A neutral monochromatic colour palette will really make the metallic lighting you use stand out. Metallics pair fantastically with darker hues that are so in vogue at the moment, such as grey, black, navy or a variety of deep, rich jewel tones. Alternatively, you can keep the palette light and bright, with a variety of shades of white.

Like attracts like

Try and use the same form of metallic throughout, such as brass for example, but mixing it up in various finishes or textures.

Start small

It is a better idea to incorporate small doses of metallics into your décor, instead of choosing one large permanent piece that can often be a little overwhelming. Small accent pieces and lighting is a great place to start – as they are easy to interchange and move around until you find the perfect balance.
