"Cast iron radiators with strong vertical lines look great against a colourfully painted wall.
Metal angle brackets, hammered steel supporting scaffold boards is a strong statement.

Metal pendant lampshades, old and with character are another strong design element for a kitchen."

"Metallic items can add a touch of glamour and sophistication to any room in the house. Here are some metallic items that can fit well in terms of interior design:

Mirrors: Mirrors with metallic frames or accents can add depth and texture to a room while also reflecting light and making the space feel larger.

Lighting fixtures: Metal light fixtures, such as chandeliers, pendant lights, or wall sconces, can add a touch of glamour and drama to a room while also providing functional lighting.

Decorative objects: Small metallic objects, such as vases, candle holders, or sculptures, can add visual interest and texture to a room. They can also be used to create a focal point or add a pop of color.

Furniture: Metallic accents on furniture, such as metal legs on a table or a metal frame on a chair, can add a modern and industrial touch to a room.

Hardware: Metallic hardware, such as doorknobs, cabinet pulls, or drawer handles, can add a polished and sophisticated touch to a room.

Overall, metallic items can be used to add texture, contrast, and visual interest to a room. They can be incorporated in a variety of ways to create a cohesive and stylish look"

"Certain metallics such as gold, silver, copper and brass are hot in decorating right now. They add that pizzazz every room needs. Their shimmering looks add shine and bounce light, which can make a room seem lighter and larger."
