Gilded Glamour
Give your space a little glitz and glamour with help from the most precious metal of them all—gold! Gold complements lighter, brighter colors best—particularly white—making it the perfect partner for an ivory bathroom. To make yours absolutely stunning, start by swapping out those stainless-steel rainfall fixtures with gilded ones. Then, complete the royal remodel with golden accents like trash baskets, cabinetry hardware, towel rails and even toilet handles.
Pro-Tip: For the perfect finishing touch, add a gilded frame to your glass door shower. It’ll make every shower feel like a million bucks.

Brushed Beauty
To bring that luxurious metal look to the kitchen, put up a brushed-metal backsplash! Be sure to keep your kitchen’s current metal features in mind, but don’t be afraid to mix the metals up a bit: a dark, patterned metal backsplash will actually complement those bright, polished appliances. If you already love the backsplash you have but still want it to add a bit of shine, try out some metallic grout. Lacing any backsplash with a bit of bronze or gold will make its visual value sky-rocket!
Pro-Tip: Keep your kitchen cool but the aesthetic warm with a beautiful brass vent hood! The charming color pairs well with almost every style of décor, and especially well with bold backsplashes.

Stainless Style
If you’d like to bedazzle your living room a bit, sprinkle in a few metal accents! Remodelers love using metallic-effect throw pillows, steel-surface end tables and silver standing mirrors because they’re easy ways to inject that luxurious metal look without going overboard—or over budget. Picture frames are another great way to mix in metal-looking features. Swap a few of your current frames with magnetic ones for a few subtle sparks of metallic inspiration, or assemble a bold frame wall for a full-blown dazzling art display!
Pro-Tip: Set a shining example by stringing up a modern metal chandelier! This stainless centerpiece will light up your living room like nothing else.

Distressed Delights
Take your next metallic makeover to an area that can always use a little extra something—the laundry room! But this time, try a more industrial-chic approach: layer in brushed, hammered and distressed metal features alongside dark moody hues to make the space really pop. Pipe hanging rods, rolling metal hampers, wire baskets and steel buckets are a few practical industrial updates that get even better looking with age. For the final pièce de résistance, get your space an antique galvanized washboard! Not only will it look beautiful by your washer’s side, if the machine ever breaks down you’ll have a stylish back-up plan ready to go.
