Brass

Bring a sophisticated touch to your home at an affordable price - that's the advantage of brass! Brass has been making a comeback for several years now. Previously used to bring a touch of light into a room, brass is now the main feature.

Whether in gold, silver or matt black, it's the material of the moment, not to be missed!

What is brass?

Brass is a material that has retained all the elegance of gold and the character of a more industrial metal. Its alloy of copper and zinc blends perfectly with dark colors and adds character to your decor. This metal combines the aesthetic qualities of gold with the strength of copper. Highly resistant to corrosion, it's ideal for bathrooms and kitchens, where copper increases durability and strength.

The color of brass is a yellow reminiscent of gold. Once hidden, brass's raw edge makes it a decorative object in its own right, and a preferred color choice in architecture and design. Softer and more restful than gold, it's a perfect match for any decor. It can be easily integrated into a classic interior as well as a contemporary minimalist one. Its golden color catches the light and reflects it throughout the room. It's the perfect way to warm up your interior and give it that cosy feel. Widely used in the 18th century to replace gold, its soft, warm color brings a warm, vintage touch to your interior.

If its golden color frightens you at first sight, and you think it will be complicated to integrate a brass decoration, or even a whole piece of furniture, think again. It's very easy to match and can easily adapt to any style.

Warm and soft, brass brings light and warmth to your rooms. You can choose it for your wall lamps, your lighting fixtures and brighten up your entire interior.

To accentuate this cozy spirit, match it with dark colors such as black, navy blue, forest green, lie de vin or terracotta. The result is a decor with character.

You can also match it with noble materials like velvet to bring warmth, or silk for added softness.

Brass for sophisticated vintage interiors

For a sophisticated, vintage interior, you can rely on brass. Use it on your taps, as a door or cupboard handle, in lighting fixtures or on mirrors. Widely used in the 18th century to replace gold, it's a must-have for revitalizing your interior.

Brass goes well with natural colors like wood and brown, as well as colors like duck blue and fir green. To complete the vintage look, opt for brass with an aged finish, which will add character to your interior.

For a Scandinavian-style interior, opt for white and neutral tones. In this case, brass bounces off the clarity of white to make the room glow with its very presence. You can use it in small touches: a suspension, a mirror, accessories so that its shine subtly takes its place in the space.

The end result: a serene, harmonious interior.

Mini or maxi?

For the more daring, you can use brass as the main decorative element. Go for a large floor lamp, a console for your living room or a rack for your bedroom. Don't be afraid to use brass on imposing pieces of furniture.

If you want to keep it simple, you can add a touch of elegance with a wall sconce, on your crockery, a mirror frame or as a soap dish.

In conclusion, brass is the material of the year 2022, and it's here to stay. Whether as a minimalist or XXL touch, it will bring light and warmth to all your interiors.

And you, are you opting for brass?
