Using a mix of different metals can elevate the overall look when decorating a space. But it's essential to follow specific rules to ensure everything looks cohesive. It would be best to start by choosing one primary metal, like chrome, and then limit the total number of metals to three. The primary metal should make up 70% of all the metal in the design, and the other two should make up the remaining 30%. By following these guidelines, you can effectively combine different metal types in your design and give the space a sense of depth, visual appeal, and a modern feel.

As an interior designer, people ask me one of two questions. First, where do you find all these great pieces for your client's homes? And second, is mixing metals okay? To answer the first question, I shop a lot and have a terrific memory. For the second question, mixing metals can be inspiring and exciting for your Decor.
