We're seeing more and more silver tones trending and... we're loving it! It can be adapted into many different styles in design- modern, coastal, traditional, and transitional. There's a purpose for the polish in every layer of a project. Keep reading to see a few ways where we love incorporating this finish from our homes to our wardrobes!

Hardware and lighting finishes are a beautiful way to add a little silver, specifically polished nickel. We opt for this finish over a chrome. It's warmer and pulls that timeless element we're all after.
Silver finishes in hardware and lighting add timeless elegance to traditional homes, offering a refined, polished look that complements classic architectural details and neutral color palettes.
Layering silver in lighting adds depth and cohesion to a home's design. Start with a statement chandelier in polished nickel or antique silver for impact. Complement it with wall sconces or pendants in similar tones to create harmony. Incorporate lamps with silver bases or metallic shades for added texture. Mixing finishes like brushed and polished silver adds interest without clashing. This layered approach enhances elegance, reflects light beautifully, and works seamlessly in both traditional and transitional interiors.
Polished nickel features a bright, mirror-like shine with warm undertones, ideal for traditional or transitional spaces. Pewter, by contrast, offers a softer, matte-satin finish with cool, gray tones that feel antique and understated. While both complement classic interiors, polished nickel exudes elegance, whereas pewter adds depth and vintage charm.
Polished nickel faucets bring a clean, refined ambiance to any room with their warm, lustrous finish and timeless appeal. Unlike chrome, polished nickel has a softer glow that pairs beautifully with marble, natural stone, and classic cabinetry. Its subtle warmth enhances traditional and transitional spaces, adding sophistication without feeling too modern. The finish is also durable and ages gracefully, developing a rich patina over time that deepens its character and complements a well-appointed, elegant interior.

Silver leaf wallpaper adds a touch of luxury and shimmer to any space. Its delicate metallic finish catches the light beautifully, creating depth and movement on the walls. Perfect for accent walls or formal rooms, silver leaf designs elevate interiors with a sophisticated, luminous glow that feels timeless and elegant.
Silver tones are making a strong comeback in interior design, offering a fresh, elegant alternative to gold. From finishes to fabrics, silver brings timeless sophistication with a modern edge.
