From heavy industry to electronics to stylish home accessories. Stainless steel has many applications. We are interested in its domestic appearance. What types of home furnishings can be matched with accessories made of stainless steel? Which accessories should we choose and how can we create a harmonious whole? Let us find out!
Modern and classic. Steel trays and platters
A steel platter has stolen your heart, but you're worried that it won't find its way into a traditional décor amidst crystal and porcelain? No wonder, steel platters and bowls take pride of place in the realm of steel decoration. With their various sizes and shapes, we are sure to choose one that will also decorate our table. It can be filled with fresh fruit or left empty - in either case it will look great.
Elegant steel trays will suit any interior.
In modern interiors, they will emphasise their futuristic character. In classic style interiors, the steel decoration will be a perfect counterpoint, an element which stands out against the background of the entire arrangement. A collection that stands out from the others is the designer collection of plates and trays by Alessi, with characteristic forms referring to nature, and using the latest technology in steel processing. As a result, the surface of these dishes is perfectly polished and reflects light like a mirror, providing the perfect backdrop for fruit and cakes. Designers who have collaborated with the Italian company in the creation of these unusual steel forms include Abi Alice, Lluis Clotet and Claudia Raimondo.
Steel has more than one name
If you associate steel ornaments exclusively with silver and shiny trinkets, do not be fooled by appearances! It is a material that has many facets. It is easy to find one that suits your taste and enhances your living room décor.
Decorations in shiny and polished steel will catch many a glance!
High-quality steel decorations and finishes are hard to pass by indifferently! Chic and stylish, they are like jewellery for our home. They are ideal for modern as well as classic interiors, characterised by impeccable elegance.
The steel in matt finish does not reflect light reflections. It is perfect for industrial style interiors, emphasising their austerity. Stainless steel can also be painted...
Do you dream of a living room full of crazy colours? Are you looking for a decoration that contrasts with the plain walls? The palette of possibilities and colours is endless in this case. A simple brushed-steel clock is ideal for a minimalist interior, while a shiny steel pot will beautifully decorate a windowsill in a modern office.
Steel frame
The living room is a meeting place. Not only do the family gather to spend time with their families, but also guests who come to visit their hosts. To enhance the magic of the living room simply and quickly, it is advisable to decorate it with photographs of the present family members and those of previous generations. Steel photo frames are a versatile design solution that will look good in any living room.
In the case of rooms decorated in an austere and minimalist style, steel photo frames with an ornate character, with interesting decoration or in an unusual shape will work well. A traditionally arranged living room can be filled with photographs framed in classic photo frames, whose main role is to display their contents. Simple steel frames will not dominate photographs, even the most subdued ones in black and white.
A multi-photoframe is nice for those who hate having to choose from several favourite photographs. A multi-frame may seem a slightly avant-garde solution, but if it is made of steel, it will retain the character of classic photo frames. A multi-photo frame is a great way to create a family album to adorn a living room wall; in this way, several generations - from great-grandparents to grandchildren - can be accommodated in one place!
An important advantage of steel photo frames is their muted colour, which is due to the properties of the material. Both black and white and colour photographs will look great in such a versatile frame.
Bright steel living room
When incorporating steel into your living room, it is advisable to exercise restraint and either opt for one eye-catching addition in the form of a large bowl or platter, or combine several small steel accessories in the same style, such as matt and powder-coated.
If you like to spend evenings by candlelight, reach for a metal candle holder. Beautiful and durable, it will accompany you for many years. Traditional candle holders for long candles are particularly interesting in such a modern setting. When hanging a steel clock on the wall, remember that it should play the main role there. An accompanying painting or colourful photos could distract attention from the stylish timepiece. However, it is worth remembering that steel accessories look great not only in their own right, but also go well with glass, wood and concrete. Depending on the composition, this will give them a particular, recognisable style.
