Back to the future we go – the silver metal renaissance has arrived. Bid goodbye to brass and say cheerio to copper, metal finishes are turning to the slickness of sliver. Whereas gold and coppery tones bring warmth and glamour, the silver metal shades of chrome, stainless steel and silver are cool and contemporary, characterized by their clean, minimalist appeal and lending a sleek and modern aesthetic to objects and spaces.

"Showcasing raw, natural, authentic beauty"
Silver’s cool shine casts the mind back to the futuristic furniture designs of the mid-20th century, when silver tones (namely stainless steel) infused homes with a hypermodernity modelling the space age era's vision of the future. The metallic’s legacy has endured the decades, the tone still representing innovation and the avant-garde today, its reflective surfaces continuing to be a hallmark of the contemporary.

A silver lining
As well as embodying a futuristic aesthetic, silver in interior design celebrates simplicity. Unlike other metals that require elaborate finishing processes, silver-toned metals often shine in their natural state, showcasing raw, natural, authentic beauty. This innate simplicity evokes a sense of going back to basics, embracing a pared-back aesthetic that is both refreshing and timeless and tying in with true minimalism where each element serves a purpose without unnecessary embellishments. Welcome to the era of understated interior elegance, which feels both ahead of its time, and right where it needs to be.
