Metallic trend for 2018 is hotting up
Now that we’ve comfortably settled into this year, Elgin & Hall
take a look at metallic as a top interior design trend, which
has taken off for 2018 and shows no sign of cooling down.
Starting with gold, brass, silver, bronze and rose gold; Elgin
& Hall offer a variety of styles and finishes in keeping
with this key trend. Suitable for both traditional and
contemporary interiors, they team up perfectly with micro
marble surrounds, that are popular in complimentary soft
neutral shades.
The use of metallics in the home can create the feel
of effortless, eclectic style and is effective for creating
character and giving the impression that statement pieces
around the home have been selected over time. If you are
daunted by these attention-seeking shades, we recommend
sticking to no more than two metallic shades; one to
dominate and one as an accent. However, feel free to mix
and match reflective and matt surfaces for that extra chic
flourish.
Cool Metallic Blends
Cool metallics such as Nickel, Chrome, Brushed Steel and
Pewter are often avoided when it comes to interiors for fear
of creating a cold, industrial feel. However, with careful
selection of colours and accessories, you can create an on
trend, stylish haven of warmth.
The Nickel trim on the Elgin & Hall Devotion Balanced
Flue gas fire, shown above, contrasts beautifully with the
luxurious Manila micro marble of the Sophia surround. The
cream undertones of the marble and the soft glow from
Smartsense under mantel lighting, brings a comforting soft
balance with the polished Nickel finish.
Here, Elgin & Hall have made Nickel the dominant shade
by reflecting the depth of this metallic beauty with charcoal
tones in the furniture and a complimentary Olive / Grey
wall colour. The statement, fluted, Chrome mirror and the
elegant glass side table with Chrome legs are added as an
accent metallic. The reflective shine of Chrome contrasts
yet also blends with the deeper, mysterious tones found in
the Nickel trim.
Warm Metallic Medleys
impact whilst the neutral tones reinforce the feelings of
warmth and comfort. A harmonious delight.
Classic and beautiful, there is no getting away from the
luxury and glamour that comes with a Gold, Brass, or
Bronze colour palette.
Warm metallics demand attention, so, where better to start
than your fireplace, the focal point and beating heart of
the home. The Elgin & Hall Exclusive Deepline Radiant gas
fire in Brass trim illustrates this beautifully as it reflects and
radiates the warmth from the hypnotic flames within. Team
it with the Elgin & Hall Milena micro marble surround to
create a stunning centre piece, as shown below.
Elgin & Hall recommend adding texture with hammered
surfaces or a mix of matt and reflective finishes on your
accessories such as tea light holders or picture frames.
Be brave, clash and blend with this exciting trend. We love
the marvellous world of metallics and believe it’s a trend
that’s here to stay.

with the biscuit and ivory surrounding walls. The Gold and
Brass tones work in unison to create a sense of unity and
