Shiny, Happy People!

You can always tell that if a trend hits the catwalk it will be sure to hit our homes as well. A trend which is set to take the interior world by storm in 2015, is metallic! From urban to traditional and even glamorous the metallic trend can be added to many homes with ease from a few accessories to an accent wall.

There are many items of furniture available on the market that are in a metallic finish such as the Taj coffee table. Part of the Casa Couture collection which is exclusive to House of Fraser.

Check out www.tomdixon.net for some inspirational metallic lighting ideas to bring the trend to your home. Established in 2002, Tom Dixon is a British product design brand, designs can also be purchased through the Heal's store at Redbrick.

For an over the top expression of luxury go for the gold and create a first class room with golden accents, furnishings, wall coverings, and fixtures. By contrast to gold, silver is a softer, sleeker yet equally luxurious and complimentary but can also look and feel cooler.

There are many metallic wallpapers on the market to transform a room and still keep the rest of your furniture.

Or if you do not want to go bold straight away but still want a piece of the metallic action, why not add some metallic cushions to a room?

Let your ideas grow...

It always seems to be the case that when I am searching the internet for new images or ideas on one topic I fall across a totally different idea that stops me in my tracks.

This post was meant to be about a cobalt and white theme, but as ever I got distracted! When looking for some great design images to show you I came across.....
