Inspiration for Mixing Metals in Your Home

It can be difficult to stray from the idea of matching everything in your space, but usually, the best designs push the envelope by taking risks and breaking the traditional “rules.” Hopefully, you’ll find mixing the metals in your space just as liberating as I do!

Decide which finish you would like to highlight in your space and let it steal the show. This kitchen has chosen copper by adding it throughout the decor, and the gold seen on the cabinets is a delicate accent alongside the copper.

Take your metal to another level.

If you’re already toying with the idea of using two cabinet colors in the kitchen, go ahead and choose a different metal for each cabinet color.

Don’t fear trying something new. Play with your design and mix the metals you love; it will add a fun twist to your room!
