20. Brass and Gold Finishes

Brass and gold finishes exude timeless elegance, bringing warmth and sophistication to hardware, lighting, and fixtures. Once considered retro, these luminous metals are experiencing a strong resurgence in modern interiors, often juxtaposed with contemporary materials like marble and matte black.
Unlike cooler chrome or stark black finishes, brass and gold offer a touch of luxury and visual interest, complementing both vintage and cutting-edge design schemes. Their ability to elevate a space ensures their continued popularity. For inspiration and expert advice, visit Houzz’s guide to brass and gold fixtures.
