Metals have always been the jewelry piece to any wardrobe as well as any room design. From polished nickel, brushed brass to rustic and distressed looks – there’s a metal for every taste and style. We are seeing a strong focus towards gold and especially polished gold. We see it in traditional settings as well as in contemporary design. Just because we are seeing more gold doesn’t mean that silver is out. Silver, especially polished silver or polished stainless steel never is out of fashion. And if you can’t decide – just mix and match. The desire to flashback to mod silhouettes and styles of the midcentury is still going strong. Mid-century lines on furniture are still popular, along with bright colors and large geometric prints. And don’t forget to throw in a plush faux fur or a shag rug for added authenticity. Many of the designs harken directly back to the day and others take their creative liberty with the mid-century design, but with today’s youthful energy. SO METAL! SCHOOL IS COOL! THAT’S OLD 11
