Metals and Metallics
The metallic trend has been around for a few seasons now, and there is no sign of its sparkle fading, writes Aldiss homewares buyer Laura Bell.
Glitz is no longer just for Christmas – now it’s an all-year-round perma trend.
I’m in the process of renovating my new home, and I’m definitely going to be adding some metallic pieces.From open-plan city loft apartments to cosy country cottages, metallics look at home everywhere and add some everyday glamour. Mix and match your metals and really make a statement. We’re seeing a lot of copper this season, especially in lighting, dining and kitchenware, including salt and pepper shakers, cafetieres and even kettles and toasters.
Platinum is coming through as well – on my buying trips I’ve seen it in soft furnishings, including curtains, which are brilliant for adding a touch of drama and luxury to your bedroom or living room.
These rose gold industrial vintage style pendant lights are at the top of my Spring/Summer 2016 wishlist.
Everyday glamour
Add some grown-up luxe to your living room with a few carefully curated accent pieces. This set of salt and pepper grinders will add a fashionable flavour to your dining table.
Shine a light
I need a new task light for my desk – and this one ticks the boxes for style and practicality.
Morning wake-up
Your morning coffee has never looked so chic. Clean up Think a bin isn’t the most glamorous home purchase? Think again!
