Lets talk about brass...

TheDesignChaser
Im a big fan of copper accents in interior design, its such a lovely timeless warm tone that adds glamour but is still modern.  There are so many clever ways to use it in your home, you may have seem some in an old post on copper here.

But now theres a new kid on the block.... brass...
 
hmmm.. Im not so sure about this....

I have been aware of the brass trend popping its head up recently, but always hoping it would go away. I wasn't a fan... 

But now after seeing some really amazing uses of it in interior design, yes...... ok........I admit it, its got me too.

I mean how can you not like these polished brass cabinets in this beautiful kitchen by Australia-based designer  Fiona Lynch 

Like gold, the yellow tones of brass were considered to be old fashioned, but when used in the right way it really can be quite modern and spectacular, transforming a simple living space into something rather stunning.

Ok this one isn't actually brass but it does look like it, so Ive included it in this post as well. Designer Jean-Louis Deniot covered his kitchen joinery in warm hammered silver
