Planning to Add Bronze in Your Home? Here Are Some Tricks
If you’re a fan of those celebrity home tours from Architectural Digest, then you probably noticed that a lot of these homes are using bronze details. Subtle but chic, bronze brings an understated elegance into your home without making it look too loud or pretentious.
Now if you’re planning to add bronze into your home decor, you can do it as an accent, mix it with other materials and do it with your lighting. Here’s how:
- Do it with your lights. One of the easiest ways to add a touch of bronze in your home is to use bronze hanging lights that will surely elevate your space. Depending on the room, you can go for a more elaborate bronze chandelier light, a simple pendant light or even wall lights that make for great accent pieces in your home.
- Use it as accents. Bronze is a great material to use in home decor, but it can get overwhelming too easily if you use too much of it. So as much as you get excited to fill up your home with all your bronze finds, make sure to use it only as a finishing touch and not as your statement piece. Aside from lights, you can decorate your home with bronze vases, plates and other small trinkets instead of big pieces. It’s also very important to avoid overcrowding bronze pieces in a single space since they can easily make a room feel heavy and overcrowded.
- Combine materials together. Bronze is seen as a hard and masculine material. So one of the best ways to not make a room look too masculine is to combine bronze with wood materials. For instance, if you’re using bronze picture frames to display photos, you can put them on wood shelves for that nice combination between soft and hard elements. You can also apply the same principle on side tables or coffee tables.
Finally, add a touch of greenery to soften up bronze decorative elements. For instance, you can find a lot of beautiful bronze planters and vases in thrift shops. To add them to your home, you can use them with indoor plants and flowers that soften them up but still make them look extra stylish.
