LET’S TALK TIMEWORN METALS

Timeworn METALS

Go for modern rustic glam with oxidised patinas

Perfectly polished, pristine homewares? – not for us. Modern rustic homes are being captivated by striking, patinated surfaces. We’re talking the beauty of imperfecti­on: verdigris on copper or brass, aged metallics rippled with tarnished iridescent­s and antique-effect reactions. Lending age-worn appeal to any room, this story fuses heritage and industrial elements, celebratin­g textural contrast. Create beautiful dynamics with imperfect, oxidised picks full of worn familiarit­y and combine with tactile woods and cosy knits for a snug retreat rich in textural interest.

Love This Look? Then TRY…

Making a statement on walls with rusty inspiratio­ns on tiled-effect panels.

Timeless pieces with an aged aesthetic – choose industrial metal frames with a distressed finish and contrastin­g wood tops.

Festive decoration­s in antiqued, molten colour blends, for an authentic allure.

DID you know…?

Concentrat­e, here’s the chemistry lesson: ‘oxidisatio­n’ means to combine with oxygen and undergo a chemical reaction. For example, iron oxidises to form rust.
