Add a Touch of Shine: Using Metallic Accents in Your Kitchen
Want to give your kitchen a fresh, modern twist? Metallic accents are one of the hottest design trends right now—and for good reason. Whether you’re going for sleek and contemporary or warm and industrial, adding metallic elements is a great way to bring depth, style, and a touch of luxury to your space.
At Krystal Kitchens in Basingstoke, Hampshire, we help homeowners explore the latest finishes and trends—including metallics—through personalised, expert kitchen design. With premium Nolte Kitchens, clever material combinations, and free design consultations, we’ll help you strike the perfect balance of shine and sophistication.
Here’s how you can use metallic accents to transform your kitchen.
- Hardware That Shines
One of the easiest ways to bring metallics into your kitchen is through handles, knobs, and taps. Whether it’s brushed brass, matte black, copper, or chrome, switching up your hardware instantly modernises your space.
Top Tip: Pair warm tones like brass or copper with dark cabinetry for a bold, luxurious look. Or go with stainless steel for a timeless, clean aesthetic.
- Statement Lighting
Metallic pendant lights or industrial-style fixtures create a real focal point—especially above a kitchen island or dining area. These not only offer practical illumination but also serve as stylish centrepieces that add character and charm.
- Bold Splashbacks
Want a show-stopping feature? Consider a metallic-effect splashback. Whether it’s mirror-finish stainless steel, antique bronze, or copper tiles, this can instantly elevate your kitchen and reflect light to make the space feel larger.
At Krystal Kitchens, we can help you choose splashback finishes that perfectly match your kitchen palette and overall aesthetic.
- Mix with Natural Textures
Metallics work beautifully when paired with other textures. Think:
- Brass against wood for warmth and contrast
- Stainless steel and stone for a modern industrial vibe
- Copper with dark matt finishes for a dramatic, moody kitchen
Our showroom features Nolte’s innovative textures and finishes that make it easy to experiment with materials and find the perfect mix.
- Appliances That Add to the Look
Modern appliances now come in a variety of finishes—from black steel to brushed metal—that can complement your overall design. Our kitchen experts will help you integrate appliances seamlessly so they become part of the aesthetic, not just functional elements.
