WARMING TREND THE BEAUTY OF BRASS

November 2, 2012

New York-based designer Kevin Isbell included two different styles of curvaceous brass candlesticks in an airy, light-filled living room. Incorporating touches of it keep things chic and subtle. When House Beautiful asked me why I am currently craving brass, I knew that they had come to the right person with the right question. The stylish and sleek surface is top of mind for me, especially having come back from High Point Market with visions of great moments in brass. There is a warmth brass gives an interior whether it be a modern or traditional space. The golden hue of the metal provides a subtle, elegant gleam, and it is having a comeback because it mixes well with other metals and its patina gets better with age. Adding candlesticks is a great way to introduce brass into a room, both for their warm glow and stand alone glamour. Whether you incorporate vintage or new candlesticks, the golden hue elevates everything around it.

Visual Comfort's Hargett Table Lamp by Randy Powers has a telescoping column and coolie shade making it a designer favorite.

Resembling a task lamp on steroids, Julian Chichester's Flip Floor Lamp through Candelabra provides ample reading light behind a sofa.

Looking very Weiner Werkstatte, Arteriors highly textured York Vintage Cachepot adds a touch of elegance to all things potted and planted.

A tangle of brass tubes in a table sculpture add a dynamic element. DwellStudio does brass well, and their Tubular Burst Sculpture is no exception.

You can never have too many spots to place a drink and a book, that's why Target's spindly Threshold Collection Wire Accent Table is such a runaway hit.

If a piece is chunky and brass, I am pretty much guaranteed to love it. So it is no surprise that Jonathan Adler's latest Hans Hourglass Table has me smitten.

Brass reinforced corners and a kicky orange lacquer finish on Harbinger's Gould Coffee Table add gleam.

The hit of High Point, newly appointed creative director Ron Foire's Bernhard Collection included the Brielle Table. Like the piece above, it was influenced by the Jansen classic.

An intricate geometric overlay design on Oly's Ameila Chest provides a pretty, pleasing surface to brass sans hardware.

So many things to love about this light and airy London room designed by @salvesengraham — color is used beautifully in different moments, there is interesting art to lead your eye, and an easy to live with furniture centered around the fireplace with a fender covered in a fun animal print. And the fresh blooms add life. Always!
