Wood is the ying to chrome's yang. Like florals for spring and plaid for fall, wood and chrome is a pairing that feels splendidly right. As chrome continues to rise in popularity in our interiors, it brings with it an inherently industrial and futuristic feel. Certainly a stylish look, but not everyone's cup of tea. However, when coupled with wood, chrome's ultramodern look feels more grounded and approachable.
With bold and playful decor on the rise, chrome, stainless steel, and other cool metallics are a recent interior design trend that adds a shining style moment to any corner of your home. But keeping them from feeling too cold is all about balance, blending natural and man-made materials to create an equilibrium of aesthetics.
