Interior spaces are getting metallic faces!
From burnished old world country to sleek monotone modern, metallic surfaces can accent a wide variety of designs. Adding dimension and stark contrast to otherwise subtle spaces, metallic interior design trends are influencing more permanent surfaces such as flooring and backsplashes.

“People are playing with light reflection and color changing overlays,” said Kristin Keeton, a CHI designer. “They love the way a surface changes color with light reflection or as you move around a room.”
