1. Blend cool metallics with other cool textures

The terms cold and sterile might spring to mind when you think of cool metallic finishes, but this needn’t be the case. Embrace cool shades like Metalix Aluminium and blend with cool textures such as Milano Earth Stone, Milano Storm Cloud Worktops and Ligna Alaskan Oak to create a natural Scandi style kitchen that brings an elegant industrial look to your home.

2. Blend warm metallics with other warm textures

Blend the warm finishes of Metalix with the natural warm wood tones of Ligna to create a rustic, tactile space. It may be surprising to this that metallics could aid in the creation of a warm space, but finishes like Metalix Copper, Bronze and Brass and Ligna Farmhouse Oak blend seamlessly with the smooth finish of Burnt Umber to do exactly that.

3. Create subtle, glamourous accents with metallic handlerails
