Not all that glitters is gold. Sometimes it's copper, too. Editorial assistant Jodie Draper goes mad for metallics, finding inspiration on the latest fashion runways and interiors. See more inspiring ideas on our Metallics Pinterest board.
Metallics are a great way of adding a sense of quality to your home. Keep designs considered and employ a Coco Chanel elegance to avoid creating something tacky. We love this series of pendant lights to tie in this family hub. Image found on Pinterest. Find similar lights by Tom Dixon.
This is just one of the gold looks that walked the Dolce and Gabbana catwalk this Spring. It's bold and super luxe, but absolutely beautiful when paired with a fresh face.
Melbourne designer, Daniel Barbera, has crafted stunning furniture pieces over at Barbera Design. Check out his recent interview with Yellowtrace, and of course you're welcome to obsess over the refined elegance of his Lovelock Coat Stand, Bronze table, or Uccio Bar Stool (pictured above).
For those of you who are loving metallic but can't decide between warmer or cooler tones, remember it's okay to mix them. Nowadays blue and green are allowed to be seen together, and the same goes for different metals. A silver splash back, copper pans, and a copper feature light are the focal points of this eclectic kitchen found on Eatwell101.
Metallic pipes will add a polished touch to an industrial style home. Warm gold and copper tones look sublime with concrete and other raw finishes. Take a cue from this architect's bathroom featured in Elle Decoration NL.
Probably not your next outfit for a Friday night at the local pub, but this Naeem Khan gown from the Fall 2014 catwalk is pretty admirable. Take inspiration from the way he's mixed textures, details and intensities.
This lamp by architects, Clancy Moore, is everything beautiful, functional design should be. Combining copper and gold to great effect, this design it the epitome of minimalist chic.
I've been in love with copper kitchen accessories since the first time I went to the Koskela showroom. Emma from DIY blog, A Beautiful Mess, has devised a great way to show off your mandatory kitchen utensils. The metal tones really pop against a dark, charcoal backdrop.
And finally, these custom metal wall planters. Found on Etsy by Urban Mettle, they're just the right measure of industrial and metallic to set the vibe from outside your home.

If you're finding this metallic madness a little OTT, start small, with accessories for you house, or for yourself. For the latter, we're loving these Zouzou drops from Anthropologie. There's a dark (pictured) and a light version available, and whichever one you choose, you can be sure that they're an inexpensive way of updating your look and trying out a new trend.
