When it comes to accessorizing, metal items can add warmth and shine to many areas of your home.  As with all things pertaining to design, trends come and go with metal as well.  Oil rubbed bronze and satin nickel have been the metal of choice for several years now but, thankfully, brass in all it’s shiny glory has been spotted around town.  We are not talking about the bright and sometimes gawdy brass of the seventies.  Today’s brass offers a level of sophistication to your interiors and has the added ability to warm up a space where other metals can appear cold and uninviting.  Take a look at some of these ideas and see if any of them will work in your own home.

Brass items coordinate beautifully with many fabrics such as leather, suede, microfibers, corduroy, tweed, plaid etc. etc.  But the warmth of brass is just as inviting when used with soft pastels, lively floral patterns or bright and festive colors.  You can add a touch of brass by simply switching out door and drawer hardware, lamp bases or bath and sink fixtures.  Take a look around…I am sure you will find many ways to use this warm metal in your home.
