5 Tips For Adding Metallics to Your Walls

Liz Jardine’s “Starburst”

Add a little shimmer to your space! We are sure you’ve seen gold hardware, embellished fabrics, copper mugs, and silver light fixtures (just to name a few) taking over home décor trends. And with metallic accents having a big moment in design, we have the perfect images to embellish your walls and want to share 5 tips to help you incorporate some metallic into your space!

1. Opposites attract: metallics & earth tones

Adding just the right touch of metallic accents with warm earth tones is the perfect, polished pair.  Hanging an art piece with natural tones and a pop of sparkle can make the perfect statement and elevate a neutral space without over-doing it.

2. Metals do mix 

“Shining Example” by Liz Jardine

No matter what you may have heard, don’t be afraid to mix your metals.  One trick to mixing metals in one space is to hang an art piece that incorporates the different metallic tones you are using.  You can also highlight one metal and have smaller accent pieces of a different metal, like gold with smaller silver accents, to keep your space cohesive.

3. No room is off limits

Metallic hues can make any room feel a little extra luxurious, no matter the function.  While living rooms and dining rooms are popular spaces for incorporating the metallic trend, your office space, bathroom, or really any space, can use a touch of glamour too!

4. Pops of Color & Shimmer

Just because you add metallics to your room doesn’t mean you can’t add some color.  Even in a neutral space, having a colorful art piece with a metallic shimmer can be exactly what you need to enhance your space.  Or if your space already has a bit of color, finding the right art piece can complement it and also add some shine.

5. Go Bold

Go for it, and make a statement with your embellishment!  Metallics are sure to catch people’s eye, so don’t be afraid to go bold with pattern, deep hues, and shimmer in your wall decor.
