Bold as Brass - Metallics Trend 2015

Here at Red Candy we have seen many trends come and go. Some stick around for a few years, and others - much like the haribos in our office - are quick to disappear. Happily the Metallics trend falls into the former category! From the 2013 copper trend to the brass and gold designs coming through this year, these magnificent metals are clearly here to stay. These sleek metallic designs are very fluid (of course not literally) and can complement a range of interior styles. Why not add some copper accessories to a rustic farmhouse kitchen or add a gold clock to a contemporary living room? Metallic accessories also look great in an industrial style space, as they fit in perfectly with the raw materials value of the style. Plus the current Wire trend is an off-shoot from the metallic trend - read all about the popularity of wire products here! So if you are thinking of giving your home a metal makeover, or simply fancy giving a room a subtle metallic accent, then check out our selection below for inspiration! Bold as brass Brass was huge at the beginning of 2015, with top brand such as Umbra making this stylish material the focus of new designs. A slightly softer colour than copper, brass is a great way to add a subtle metallic accent to your walls!

Cool copper The copper trend emerged in late 2013, and the fact that it came at the same time as the vintage resurgence is no coincidence! These sleek designs are perfect for adding a touch of old-fashioned or rustic style to your home, but can also be used just as effectively in modern and industrial style spaces. We have been on the copper bandwagon for a while now, collecting cool copper for every category - see below!
