Warm metals, like gold and
brass, come off as a rich pop of
color and texture when placed
with cool metals like silver and
chrome. If you have a modern,
stainless steel kitchen, add a
chandelier or vintage piece with
some gold for texture and total
charm! Similarly, if you have a
very warm gold and white space, a chrome table or
pendant light will make for metallic equilibrium. If
you feel your space reads too cold, throw in some
brass, antique brass, iron, or gold tones.
2. Blend Warm
and Cool
Tones
Warm metals (like gold, brass, and
copper) pair well with warm hues (like
reds, browns, and yellows) while cool
metals (such as chrome and silver) pair
well with with cool hues (such as blue,
green, and violet). But a popular place
for adding metal is a serene, airy space
with a neutral palette—adding a gold or
brass accent gives the perfect amount
of warmth, color, and texture.
