Weathered Metals

Vin­tage, weath­ered metals are all the rage right now and be  it bronze, zinc, or iron, we at CGH are all about metal mania!

For example, we love how an aged patina on brass can jux­ta­pose a modern acrylic piece or how an indus­trial bar cart can marry seam­lessly with a living room full of soft, romantic upholstery.

Metal is a nice way to add more of a linear, dynamic edge, to an oth­er­wise soft, tex­tile laden room.  Keep  in mind, a little goes a long way.  Too many metal pieces can take a funky art-​​deco inspired room to more of a kitschy catch-​​all, if the right ele­ments are not counterbalanced.

Mixing and matching mate­rials can be a great way to add interest without over­whelming. If the room is all dark wood, inte­grate some other mate­rials into your color schemes. Opt for metal coffee and end tables and bright, but stream­lined seating. Use wooden and metal pic­ture frames on the same walls.

Here are few of our favorite weath­ered metal pieces that we cannot get enough of, right now!
