What says “holiday season” more than a healthy dose of sparkle and shine? A little bit of blingy décor can make any home feel more festive, and make everyone feel more like celebrating. The best news? Metallic home décor is a hot trend right now, so if you choose wisely, you’ll be able to hang onto that shine even after the holidays are over. No matter what your style of décor, you can find metallics to mix with your existing pieces and brighten the look of your home.
- If you’ve got a down to earth sort of style: Mixing textures is a
great way to make an impact without losing your understated style. Matte and textured metals, and pieces with a brushed, hammered, or rippled finish go well with a rustic room. If you keep everything matte, there’s no problem with combining tones like copper, gold, and silver, and fabrics with a metallic touch can be nice in accent pieces, like rugs, pillows, or throws
- When your style is more on the glam side: Choose high gloss
metallic, playing with the way the light bounces off their shiny surfaces. You can even mix gold, silver, bronze and copper, if your pieces are simple and sleek. If you prefer more ornate baubles, stick with one type of metal.
- For a modern approach to glitz: Go with simple metallic pieces, like a wire basket or a sleek vase, and don’t be afraid to
mix matte and gloss. The overall effect should be light and airy, with a minimalist feel and a few striking pieces.
- If you’re just looking for some holiday sparkle:
Nothing sparkles quite as beautifully as a table set in stunning holiday style. For an understated approach, combine the shine of metallic chargers with subtle earth tone accents, mixing materials to create an eclectic look. If your style is more of an all-out holiday spectacular, feel free to let your imagination run wild. Colored glass vases add a splash of color, and metallic candles give the room a special glow, especially when displayed on a mirrored tray.
