How to use a metallic scheme this festive season, according to an interior design expert

Metallic finishes are a guaranteed way to uplift your space with a sense of modern sophistication, so it’s no wonder that gold, silver and brass accents are the latest home decor trend. While metallic surfaces are hardy and durable, they don’t have to feel austere. Paired with soft neutral tones, warm lighting fixtures, and different textures, you can achieve a soft and enticing look that adds character to your home – even at Christmastime.

With the holiday season in full swing, incorporating precious metals into your decorative displays will instantly give you the comforting, festive feel that we all desire at this time of year. Simple touches, like mirrored decorations and a textured metal tree skirt, will bounce the light around your space, creating a magical atmosphere.
