3 ways to decorate with metallics

Glam table

Inject some uptown elegance into a room with metallic accessories like coffee tables and candlesticks. Layer these moody metals with other neutral, pared-down finishes to let them take centre stage.

Midas touch

Repeat hits of your favourite metallic in multiple areas throughout a room. A gold Moroccan pouf mixed with a gilded mirror and decorative gold books sets the tone for this glamorous living room.

Shimmery curtains

Create a feeling of luxury by installing plush wall-to-wall carpeting, upholstered walls and glimmering curtains. Don't be afraid to mix up your metallics.
