Black Metal Interior Trend
This season has seen a massive rise in sleek and sophisticated monochrome colour schemes and geometric shapes and patterns that create visual detail in your chosen room. With this in mind the interior design world is showcasing an array of BLACK METAL accessories and decor that combine these two eye-catching trends in one simple yet effective package. The distinctive shapes and cool, sleek tones will look amazing in both modern and classic homes.
Lighting is a great way of including this trend in your home as the versatility of black metal means that it can be crafted into a wide variety of traditional and contemporary designs. If you prefer a more classic style then a black metal chandelier will be sure to create a focal point in the centre of your room and can be left in a rugged more medieval inspired design or accentuated with black and clear crystals and droplets for a more glamorous finish. Abstract and geometric shaped designs and group lighting arrangements will give the black metal a more sleek and contemporary look that will create a focal point in a minimal home interior.
Black metal seating is a hugely popular choice within this trend and provides a stylish and functional focal point in any living room, bedroom or dining room. For a rugged, warehouse style design opt for chunky black metal industrial chairs that can be partnered with a weathered oak dining table for a contrasting yet complimentary finish. Egg and Eames style chairs also look great in a black metal finish and can be partnered with sleek white or silver cushions and furniture for a more modern retro design. Black metal stools will look great at a bar or kitchen island and can be accentuated with shimmering chrome or gold for a more luxurious designer finish.
Finding the right bed frame for your bedroom interior can often be tricky however black metal designs are a functional and stylish choice for a wide range of both period and modern interior designs. For an elegant and feminine look then opt for a Victorian wrought iron style design, with intricate floral and leaf style twists that will look fabulous with historic colour palettes and crisp white bedding. Loft style bedrooms with exposed brick walls and industrial furniture can be given added visual detail with a large black metal bed frame with a simple vertical or horizontal head and footboard for a sleek and masculine finish.
People often shy away from black metal furniture due to its simplicity in design however these linear lines and geometric shapes can provide a fabulous focal point in minimal, monochrome or bold interior decors. If you love industrial style home interiors than select rustic black metal shelving and cupboards with added reclaimed wood elements for a contrasting look and finish. Retro style box shaped bedsides and bookcases will look great against a bold wallpapered feature wall while a more modern look can be achieve with a faceted black metal side table or a sculptural black metal table with a clear glass top for a striking and artistic centrepiece in your home.
More and more of us are using the fireplace as the focal point in our living room and bedroom interiors and with gas prices on the up there has also been a rise in the use of wood burning stoves in our homes. These rich black metal burners will look fabulous in a cosy country cottage interior and the deep metal tones blend wonderfully with a solid wood surround to give a warm and welcoming setting. For a more modern and striking look then place a black metal wood burner in the centre or corner of the room, with a full height tubular flue that will look amazing in a crisp white minimal decor.
