BRABBU blog<\/strong><\/a> is an usual suspect when it comes to talk about interior design trends 2016 and tips about how you can apply them into your home decor. We prepared another one for you, about decorating with metallics, one of the top interior design trends 2016<\/strong><\/a>. According to designer Natalie Kraiem<\/a><\/strong>, there\u2019s no such thing as \u201ctoo much\u201d when incorporating shiny things, as long as you keep one thing in mind.<\/p>\n

Just a touch of glimmering metal can make a space infinitely and instantly more glamorous. Too many metallics, on the other hand, and your home could end up feeling like a hall of mirrors. While designer Natalie Kraiem says there is no such thing as \u201ctoo much\u201d when it comes to incorporating metallics into your decor, there is an art to striking the right balance.<\/p>\n

Here are her 5 tips on going for the gold, without going overboard.<\/p>\n

1. Soften it out<\/strong><\/p>\n

The trick with using metallic pieces and mirrors in a single space is to mix them with different, softer textures to balance them out, Kraiem says. \u201cI love mixing in textures like mohair, velvet, and wool to let the metallic accents contrast and stand out on their own.<\/p>\n

2. Keep the palette neutral<\/strong><\/p>\n

When incorporating a lot of metallic pieces into a room, you\u2019ll want to keep the color scheme fairly subdued. According to Kraiem, brass pairs nicely with darker colors such as black, navy and even purple or other jewel tones, while chrome, stainless and satin go nicely with more modern palettes such as gray, white and blue.<\/p>\n

3. Mix it up<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s an age-old design debate, but Kraiem says mixing metals and finishes can be done to a stylish effect. \u201cI like mixing polished brass with sterling silver and chrome,\u201d she says. But generally speaking, you\u2019ll want to use the same color metal (for example, gold) in different textures or finishes (polished brass, brushed brass, gold leaf, etc.). Mixing chrome with other silver metals such as brushed nickel or satin nickel, is another way to go.<\/p>\n

4. Stick with the classics<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although copper is having a moment in kitchens and lighting right now \u2014 it\u2019s especially cool in a hammered texture, Kraiem notes \u2014 brass, chrome, silver or gold leaf are timeless.<\/p>\n

5. Start small<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Kraiem says she loves a metallic ceiling or a shiny papered wall, accessories are the best way to introduce metallics into your space. (Try an antique silver tea set or tray, for instance.) \u201cThey\u2019re easy to change out or move around the room to find the perfect balance,\u201d she says. More permanent pops of metallic can also be incorporated in small doses \u2014 Kraiem currently has her eye on a stunning hammered metal sink for a powder room, and says she\u2019s been using a gold mosaic tile in a herringbone pattern as a kitchen backsplash for some time.<\/p>\n

When in doubt, just go for it. \u201cI like to incorporate metallic pieces and mirrors into
\nevery project,\u201d Kraiem says. \u201cThey reflect light and many times open up a space.\u201d And they almost always give a dull space a more interesting and unexpected touch, she adds.<\/p>\n
