ADDING WARMTH

Lacquered brass creates a gorgeous high-end, glamourous look that almost radiates heat and demands attention. Or, for something more rustic, you can leave your accessories unfinished and aged to give a burnished glow.

And it’s not just those nice-to-have accessories that come in these more playful metals. More and more designers are opting for copper and brass in their practical pieces too – taps, showers and even bathtubs are all available in brass and copper. Team with a bold colour scheme, such as a rich, deep green or a striking blue, for a showstopper of a bathroom.
