Yes, mixing metals can seem daunting, if you have no idea how to go about it, which is why we have made a quick guide for you to follow on how to decorate your living space with mixed metals. 


Choose a Dominant Metal Type

When you buy furniture online or offline, make sure that things look balanced, choose one type of metal that will dominate the larger spaces or the furniture pieces of the house.

Mix No More than 2 – 3 Metals at Once

It is advisable to stick to one dominant metal along with two accent metals at the most. If in case you opt for more than two types of metal, makes sure that you distribute them evenly, especially the accent pieces. You can also make use of metals with different finishes to add some variety. You could pair pieces of a lighter piece with something more rustic.

Learn to Balance Warm and Cool Hued Metals

If you want to make the metals in your home pop, consider adding a cool metal accent to a warm-hued one, such as a touch of stainless steel to gold or copper. The only thing to keep in mind is to use one hue as the dominant metal and the other one as the accent metal.

Make use of Mirrors to Match the Reflective Feeling of Metals

It is easy to create a metal look throughout the entire room, without overcrowding the space and making it look overwhelming. All you have to do is install a mirror. What it will do is, reflect the décor in that room and make the space feel more open. The mirror also complements the depth that metallic will give to a room. You can add a metal frame to the mirror as well.

Use Accent Pieces and Trinkets for a Hint of Subtlety

Add small specks of a secondary metal colour rather than large furnishings if you feel that mixing metals would clash in the décor style of your home. Gold or Silver jewellery on display or even a tiny sculpture can add a texture to the surrounding and add to the mixed metal décor.
