3 matching metallic trends for your kitchen design
3 matching metallic trends for your kitchen design
Where silver tones once dominated, gold and black tones are becoming increasingly popular in interior design. Copper is a reddish brown colour with golden undertones. Brass is a brighter, warmer golden colour. On the other hand Gunmetal is a dark grey with a bluish purple tinge.
Each of these finishes have become popular as they are being used to accentuate style rather than simply create a bold statement on its own. These colour finishes can be used in a variety of ways throughout the home such as furniture, light fixtures, and kitchenware.

Gunmetal
Gunmetal is becoming a popular accent choice. Pairing beautifully with black or white cabinetry and benchtops, gunmetal is a versatile option to add to your kitchen. Gunmetal accents create a softer finish compared to matte black and are more versatile compared to brass or copper. While too many gunmetal accents can create a darker moody aesthetic, small accents used in the tapware and handle ware complemented by crisp white porcelain benchtops create a real wow factor.

Copper
Copper is a daring and extravagant look to polish and finesse your kitchen design. Copper accents have a luxe warm sheen which can take your kitchen design to the next level and create a show-stopping aesthetic. Copper is a versatile option that can look magnificent in an industrial interior or a traditional kitchen. The reddish-gold shimmering tone of copper is a soft finish that works well with dark and light colours. It depends if you want a fresh light kitchen or one in darker tones that will accentuate the copper with a great contrast between the colours.
