All that glitters is gold – and brushed brass, brushed copper, satin nickel, and chrome.

Your kitchen, by necessity, is filled with hard surfaces. Countertops, appliances, cabinetry, solid flooring, among cutting boards, cookware, and sharp cutlery. Luminous metallics can add a new dimension to your kitchen, warming up the atmosphere and making the space feel polished and sophisticated, adding gleam and luster while capturing the eye of visitors.

How do you want metallics to work in your space? Shiny metallics can easily be used anywhere in your kitchen, acting as accents to the rest of your decor or stealing the show with glimmering luminosity. If looking for a touch of gleam, the addition of shiny metals on kitchen appliances will add a natural metallic highlight to any space.

Brushed Brass

Brass or gold tones in your kitchen can be used on a variety of surfaces, bringing warmth to any space naturally from the glow of the warm metals. Using brass in your kitchen can easily act as the star of the show or as a glittering accent to the rest of your kitchen decor.

Brass is most widely used in applications that are both decorative and mechanical. An alloy of copper and zinc, the unique components of brass can be varied to achieve varying mechanical and electrical properties. Brass is a great metal for outdoor or mechanical applications due to its amazing endurance. In the right conditions, brass can last more than 1,000 years.

Brass pairs well with a wide variety of both light and dark shades, complementing darker colors like black, navy blue, or hunter green, while equally complementing light shades like cream, tan, or light gray.

Chrome

Known for its eye-catching metallic sparkle, chrome is a cool-toned metal that looks good in almost any kitchen. Decorative chrome plating is extremely corrosion resistant and is a popular choice for kitchen appliances. Accenting your kitchen with glistening chrome creates a welcoming atmosphere that is both modern and impressionable, transitioning seamlessly onto kitchen appliances, light fixtures, sink fixtures, or cabinet hardware.

If you’re going for a modern, futuristic look in your kitchen, chrome pairs well with light shades, like white or gray. If looking for a more traditional look, chrome adds a touch of glamour to more dramatic colors like black, navy blue, or burgundy.

Brushed Copper

Color-wise, copper is the closest to orange and the warmest metal on the spectrum. In your kitchen, copper is a practical choice for many surfaces and accessories. Surfaces maintain an elegant sheen and glow when covered in copper, and the metal is surprisingly easy to wipe down and maintain. Copper is a great material for water works too, as weathered copper ages well and looks great for sink fittings. As a rule of thumb, lighter copper tones are more suited to contemporary rooms, while darker coppers look better in traditional kitchens.

Did you know? Copper has natural antimicrobial properties and has the ability to resist a wide range of bacterias. This makes copper a great choice for your kitchen sink or countertops.

Satin Nickel

Nickel is a strong and lustrous metal that can be found in everything from the stainless steel used in our kitchen to the batteries that power our remote controls. Nickel has a silvery-white appearance with a slight golden cast, and often times can take on a more impressive sheen than silver can. Nickel is a sophisticated addition to your kitchen, matching a wide variety of colors and tones, particularly bold shades like black or neutral shades like white or cream.
