One interior design myth you can put aside is that you can’t mix metals.
Matching your metals is okay, but you can also mix them. Here are three simple tips to help you get started.
1. Pick Your Dominant Metal
First, pick your dominant metal. In this kitchen, it’s gold. Start with that main metal before choosing the others you want to pair with it.
2. Choose One to Two Other Metals
Next, pick one to two other metals to pair with your dominant metal. You don’t have to match every metal in your kitchen.
Design Tip
Don’t be afraid to mix warm and cool toned metals. The contrast can add depth and interest to a space. It’s about repeating finishes for cohesion.
3. Repeat Each Metal Two to Three Times
Repeat each of your chosen metals two to three times, and don’t forget to include them in your accessories.
Why Repeat
Repetition makes the mix feel intentional rather than an afterthought.
Final Thoughts
The idea that you can’t mix metals is a design myth worth busting.
If you like a mix of finishes, you don’t have to limit yourself to matching everything.
