This publication is also available in: Français English (UK) Deutsch Italiano Español

Metal, aluminum, chrome, or white: this winter, metallic textures are at the heart of trends. It’s true that steel has everything going for it, bringing a touch of elegance with polished finish accessories, a contemporary effect with brushed furniture, and a 70’s revival by pairing the industrial material with flashy colors. In short, the metal trend is settling in for us in 2025, and that’s great news. Here are 10 great ideas for a trendy interior.

1. Metal Light Fixtures for Flawless Decor

We see them everywhere; light fixtures are ideal pieces to easily introduce the metal trend into the home. Brass pendants are very much in vogue, so let’s take advantage of them, as they harmonize perfectly in a kitchen or living room, providing warm lighting. We love pairing brass with white to break the coldness of that color and gain elegance.

Do you have a particular fondness for the 70’s? No problem, the mushroom lamp, a big star in our bedrooms in 2024, looks fabulous in chrome steel or colored metal versions.

2. Metallic Furniture, Star of Industrial Style

Metal furniture are strong, modern, and elegant pieces. For a well-coordinated interior, don’t hesitate to mix materials. Waxed concrete flooring, a beautiful metal table, a leather sofa, and brick walls: your living room adopts an industrial style in no time.

We also love the ultimate industrial association: a wooden buffet that can hold the TV, large metal cabinets reminiscent of American schools, a chesterfield sofa, or club chairs. Industrial display cabinets, made of wood and metal, are also a must-have for an apartment worthy of a New York loft.

3. Decorative Objects in Metal, Discreet but Effective

Metal objects are subtle yet incredibly effective for following the metal trend. A chrome photo frame, a copper vase, or even a mirror with a golden metallic border creates bright accents that transform a room. In a warm-toned living room, a few metallic touches add a contemporary twist that won’t escape your lifestyle-loving friends.

4. Stainless Steel Kitchen, a Safe Bet

The kitchen is a perfect space to adopt the metal trend, thanks to stainless steel surfaces. A backsplash or central island in brushed stainless steel transforms your kitchen into a design piece. We love this durable material, a star in gourmet kitchens, which reflects light and creates a feeling of endless space in the kitchen.

Are you more discreet? Brass or copper cabinet handles offer a good compromise.

5. Walls with Metallic Details

Metal walls are highly sought after for modernizing a room. You can install metal panels for an accent wall in the living room or opt for golden wallpaper in a bedroom. These details add a unique texture and subtly reflect light. The room seems both more spacious and brighter: it’s a foolproof choice!

6. The Metal Bed Frame, Clever

Bed frames allow for very easy adherence to the metal trend. A black wrought iron bed frame, a brushed gold steel headboard, or a white wrought iron children’s bed: metal is indeed a classic in bedding. It’s worth noting that steel and wrought iron are very durable materials, so they are long-lasting, and they have the added benefit of being easy to maintain. Very versatile, steel allows for the creation of a thousand and one styles in a bedroom, from industrial to baroque, including romantic. So let’s go for it!

7. Metal in the Bathroom: A Bright Contrast

The bathroom is another ideal space to capitalize on the metal trend. Opt for brass or stainless steel accessories for towel racks, faucets, and shower supports. These metallic touches pair wonderfully with white or pastel tiles, creating a bright contrast, and a hyper-modern bathroom. Are you more bling-bling? Dare to use all-gold tiles, accompanied by golden shower supports, handles, and faucets. An idea in gold!

9. Install Shelves with Metal Supports

We had never really lost sight of them; wooden shelves with black metal supports are making a big comeback in our interiors! Typical of the industrial style, highly sought after in the former GDR, they integrate well into both living rooms and kitchens. Their practicality and the mix of materials, both durable and timeless, allow you to incorporate this decor idea without batting an eye. The all-steel look is also a hit in interiors in 2025. People will envy your kitchen with this hyper industrial grid shelf!
