​​​Material Mastery: Metal

From stainless steel appliances to aluminum blinds, metal certainly sits high on the list of materials you’re most likely to add to your home, and for good reason. Metal is a versatile material that can lend itself to both vintage-inspired and contemporary design. Metal offers great durability to your home furnishings, and one of our favorite aspects of metal is that it reflects light, which can make your space feel bigger than it actually is. Metal can also add sophistication to your room. If you’re looking for new ways to utilize metal or simply want some interior design inspiration, you’ve come to the right place. Our team at Window Ware is well-versed in all things metal, and we’ll help you find some innovative ways to incorporate this material into your design scheme.

Interior Design Styles with Metal

While there are countless interior design styles that utilize metal, our team at Window Ware wants to highlight a few of our very favorites:

Industrial

Industrial design relies heavily on the use of metal. Some of the most common features of industrial design are exposed elements like pipes, ducts, and structural beams (which are often made of metal). The use of raw materials is crucial to this design style. Typically, you’ll see weathered or intentionally unfinished furniture, shelving, and lighting in this utilitarian style.

Modern

Modern design focuses on clean lines and minimal decor; instead, you’ll note a focus on functionality. Metal is typically woven into this style in the form of stainless steel appliances, chrome finishes, and brushed aluminum in lighting, hardware, and furniture. You’ll often see these metal elements paired with glass or wood.

Mid-Century Modern

The mid-century modern (or MCM) style focuses on organic shapes, bold color choices, and functional furniture. Metal elements are often found in light fixtures, table legs, and decorative pieces. Metal is often contrasted with wood in this style. The color pairings evoke a sense of warmth and sophistication.

Art Deco

Art Deco focuses on the art of geometric patterns and shapes while highlighting glamour. It evokes a sense of luxury and refinement, like what you’d find in a Miami beachfront highrise. Metal elements in Art Deco tend to take form in polished brass, gold, and chrome. You’ll find an abundance of mirrored surfaces throughout furniture and lighting alike.

Metal Window Treatments

While there is an abundance of interior design styles that use metal, you’ll also find some really spiffy metal window treatments that will seamlessly integrate into your overall design scheme, no matter what interior design style your home has.

Interior Design Applications with Metal Blinds:

  • Industrial: We’d opt for Modern Precious Metals Mini Blinds in the color Venetian Bronze Brushed or Brushed Nickel to complement the exposed elements in your space, like beams or ducts.
  • Modern: To stay true to the design style, we’d opt for Modern Precious Metals Mini Blinds in Brushed Aluminum Metallic or Bright Aluminum. Somner® Vertical Blinds in the color Zinc would also pair well with this style.
  • Mid-Century Modern: We envision Modern Precious Metals Mini Blinds in a bold shade like Stingray to pair with a wood-paneled, shag carpet conversation pit fitted-living space.
  • Art Deco: Art Deco needs the depth of Somner® Vertical Blinds in Classic White or Ivory to contrast with the room's geometric patterns.

Modern Precious Metals Mini Blinds

Modern Precious Metals Mini Blinds are an excellent choice in metal window treamtents. These aluminum blinds come in over 70 color and finish options, and they’re the ultimate choice for durability in high-traffic areas of your home. They also come in three different slat sizes (½", 1" or 2").
