It’s strange how over the last few years warm metallics have gone from being an absolute no-no to something no interior seems complete without. It started in Scandinavia where the warmth of copper, brass and gold offered little twinkling moments in long, cold, dark winters, so it’s no surprise that the trend has caught on in the UK. But even in the height of summer, there’s something grown-up about these materials that add a little luxury to any room – and when combined with rough and ready industrial schemes, they add a touch of indulgence, and even rebellion. There’s something almost naughty about adding a splash of gold to austere, grey concrete. I am a huge fan and have been collecting examples of this trend on my metal Pinterest board – check it out and let me know what you think.
