From glittering floor tiles, to glimmering accents, metallics are dominating the interiors scene for 2015. Previously reserved for fixtures and fittings, silver, gold, copper and bronze are now the go-to materials for a variety of key anchor pieces from soft furnishings and lighting through to statement baths and sinks.
Available in an array of tones and finishes, metallics are no longer purely the realm of the theatrically bold. Brushed copper, brass, nickel or tin create a subtle vintage effect, complimented by gentle pastel hues to create a warm, gentle and calming environment with just a hint of understated glamour. Polished metals on the other hand, in shades of copper, nickel or gold can be gloriously dazzling. Offset against contrasting dark or neutral backgrounds with the copper or gold bath as the central feature these finishes create truly stunning statement interiors.
However it is not simply their aesthetic appeal that is driving the metallic revolution, especially in the world of baths. Hardwearing, recyclable, easy to maintain, and heat retentive, copper and metallic baths are the future for those rebelling against the disposable consumerism of the last few decades. Quality and sustainability is now the driving force behind many material choices. The fact that metallics create such versatile and spectacular interiors is just the jewel on top of the style crown.
