Although metals such as gold and copper may have most recently reigned supreme in the world of interior design, it looks there is a new kid in town. Brass décor is officially slated to make a splash this Spring 2017, and can easily illuminate any space in your humble abode. If you’re itching for a break from silver, try brass accents and accessories for a less austere effect at home. This season, draw your inspiration from these decorating ideas and bring beautiful brass into your space.

Transform your living room with brass mini tables: For the ultimate living room, try accessorizing with a slender brass coffee table and a mini table. Meanwhile, the look of an ivory sofa, blush pink curtains and pink and grey accent cushions can help to inject elegance into your space.

Complete your home office with a gleaming brass table lamp: If your home office is currently looking lacklustre and lacking in energy, decorate with a metallic brass desk lamp. Place the lamp on a white desk, and turn to pale pink walls for a decorative finishing touch.

Use brass-plated photo frames and matching tables for the ultimate effect: For those who are wondering how to take a first step into the trend, start off with brass photo frames to brighten your neutral walls. Next, coordinate the metallic touches with matching tables, a grey sofa and chic patterned cushions. The understated metal accents will bring the subdued hues to life, without creating an overwhelming effect.
