Mixing Metals - How To Do This In Your Home
We think this is a great way to add character & depth to a house, but there is definitely a method to the madness.  Follow these tips to create the look:

1. Choose a Dominant Metal:  Choose a metal finish you love to be the most prominent in your home, and then select one or two metal accents to complete the look. Having a primary metal ensures your space a sense of unity, while accent metals will guide the eyes throughout the room.

2. Blend Warm and Cool Tones:  Warm metals, like gold and brass, come off as a rich pop of color and texture when placed with cool metals like silver and chrome. If you have a modern, stainless steel kitchen, add a chandelier or vintage piece with some gold for texture and total charm! 

3. Consider Your Palette:   Warm metals (like gold, brass, and copper) pair well with warm hues (like reds, browns, and yellows) while cool metals (such as chrome and silver) pair well with cool hues (such as blue, green, and violet). 

4. Use Lots of Texture:  Varying the texture of your metal finishes can make all the difference in defining a space. Don't be afraid to have more than one (but not more than three). Combine matte, polished, and hammered finishes for a truly rich and visually delicious atmosphere!

5. Keep it Subtle.  Even though multiple metals may inhabit your space, you don't want them to be competing for attention. Don't clutter a space with too many metal pieces. We love mixing metals...but three finishes are more than enough. Need a natural neutralizer? Try iron, wood, or a non-metallic finish. These elements offer a modern industrial touch, won't clash with other metals, and they add a grounded element to your palette to make sure your space looks pulled together and effortless.
