Decorating with metallics can add the wow factor for your home.
In life I'm easily distracted. My thoughts wander and jump from random idea to random idea while bright, shiny objects catch my eye every time. I love these hammered silver kitchen cabinets found on Apartment Therapy.
And so it is with home decor.
Metallics like brass and silver and hammered metal always catchy my eye and add just the right amount of bling and personality to any space.
And no space is complete with out a little extra shine.
Here's some easy ideas on decorating with metallic finishes.
Create sparkling decor by using gorgeous lighting.
Let your light shine
One of the easiest ways to add a little sparkle to a room is with gorgeous lighting... A light fixture with personality like the one in this kitchen featured on Apartment Therapy can go a long way.
Cookie-cutter light fixtures are so yesterday.
Add a stunning chandelier with crystals that reflects the light in the room and your space will truly sparkle.
