Reflective surfaces and metallic accents are chic touches you can use to update your home decor. These metallic touches are easy to add to your existing decor with accent furniture and sequined throw pillows. Foxed mirror and mercury glass can add visual interest to any space and brighten up a room. Here are some ideas to brighten your home decor with metallic shine. Decorating Rules The idea behind adding shimmering metallic touches to your home decor is to create decorative focuses in a room. Include one or maybe two pieces of accent furniture like foxed mirror side tables and mercury glass nightstands to a room. These accent pieces make a bold style statement when used individually. Include one piece of metallic-accent furniture in a space to maximize the style quotient of a room. Balance the metallic accents with solid colors and neutral shades. Metallic Accessories In addition to furniture, a touch of metallic brightness can be added to your home with accessories. Lamps, mirrors, throw pillows and vases are perfect decorative accessories to brighten a space. Throw pillows decorated with sequins are a subtle way to add the metallic touch. Choose throw pillows made of metallic leather that are striking and sure to make a sparkling accent. Shams made using metallic threads are great accessories for the couch or the bed. Mirrors are chic accessories as they add reflective surfaces and bring interest to a space. Add a large mirror to the hallway or living room to create an accent wall. An artful arrangement of three to five decorative wall mirrors can also help to boost the style quotient of the room. Metallic Finishes Accent furniture with metallic finishes like chrome or stainless steel are chic touches for a contemporary home. Entire surfaces like kitchen countertops can be finished in metallic hues. The lustrous metallic highlights will help to give your home a look that conveys industrial chic. Use these reflective surfaces to accentuate architectural features of your home like exposed brick walls or concrete floors. Metallic home accessories are available in different styles ranging from contemporary to urban industrial so you can select any style for your home decor. Add shine, sparkle and style to your home with these trendy ideas. Authors Profile: Ronny Raula is a certified interior designer and runs her own interior decoration consultancy.
