Seeing metallic decor everywhere? You’re not alone—mixed metal, shining aluminum, and metallic surrealism are all having their time to shine in 2024. And while we’re better known for our soft home furnishings, we love embellishing with grommets, nailheads, and other hardware for a juxtaposition of temperature and texture. Here are our top tips for incorporating metallic flourishes across the home.
1. Create a moody vignette
Decorative tablescapes offer the perfect opportunity to tell a story and set the mood in your home. Let your cherished metal pieces and objects d’art shine against a backdrop of flickering candles, reflecting off a few well-placed mirrored and metallic surfaces.
2. Mix old and new
Metallic decor doesn’t have to go cold or industrial. Mix copper, brass, and bronze finishes into your period or global aesthetic to add a modern touch without losing any warmth.
3. Combine textures
 |  |
Create an appealing contrast of textures with metallic accents on your soft home decor. Decorative pillows (such as this piece from our new Enoch collection) embellished with metal grommets, studs, and nailheads add a depth of visual interest while referencing classic design aesthetics.
4. Embrace monochrome with metallic flourishes
Metallic decor shines against a spare black and white color scheme. This palette can go cool and modern with sleek silhouettes or retro and elegant, dressed up with a bit of midcentury Parisian flair.
5. Set a backdrop
Don’t just stick to accents and furniture! Metallic wallpapers offer a glamorous backdrop to any decor, reflecting mood lighting and offering a little glimmer by daylight.
6. Get creative with fabrics
Style lustrous metallic tones your own way. Fabric yardage offers limitless possibilities to create a custom look to your exact aesthetic and specifications.
