When it comes to decorating with metallics, it's best to start small. You can't go wrong with a single metallic piece—like a mirror or a decorative plate—that will really catch the eye and make your space pop.

Once you've got that first piece, add another one that's similar, but not exactly the same. For example, if you have a mirror in your living room, buy a different kind of mirror for the bedroom. The repetition will still be there, but each piece will be unique enough for you to feel like you're making a statement without being too over-the-top.

When you've got two pieces that work well together, consider adding one more. This time, though, try finding something that has a different texture from the other two pieces. Maybe it's matte instead of shiny, or maybe it's made of metal instead of glass—whatever it is, this third piece will complete your trio and tie everything together beautifully!

A lot of people have metal items in their kitchens already, and if you're starting from scratch, it can be a great place to begin. You can add a little shine here and there, then move on to other rooms in your home.

If you're not sure where to start, consider adding a metallic vase or candle holder to your island, counter, or kitchen table. This will draw the eye to the area, making it more interesting than an open space. You could also use a metallic tray as an accent piece for flowers or other items on display.

To take things up a notch, consider stenciling the walls or backsplash with geometric shapes or patterns. You can use these as a tie-in to your metallic accents, or you could just leave them as they are. This will give your walls a modern and clean look that's sure to impress guests!

For something more subtle, consider using metallic tins or jars as storage containers. This will give you a lot of flexibility when it comes to storing food and other items. You can use them on the counter or in your cabinets, depending on how much space you have available.

If you want more storage space but don't want something bulky taking up room, consider using a metal spice rack with clear glass shelves instead.

Metallics are a beautiful way to add some sparkle and shine to your holiday decorations. Here are some ideas to incorporate some shimmer into your decorating this year:

Get the most out of your metallic accents by using them sparingly. For example, a single strand of tinsel can be used to line an entire mantlepiece or tree. Or, if you have a gorgeous tree skirt that's been sitting in storage all year long, you can pull it out now and line it with gold tinsel for a beautifully shiny accent.

You can also use metallics to create DIY gift tags by printing out your own design on shiny paper or wrapping paper before cutting out circles from them with scissors (or cutting machine). The result is beautiful tags that will look amazing on presents at any holiday party.

If you want to get really fancy with your metallic décor, try using a gold or silver marker to draw designs on glass ornaments. You can use these as tree decorations or give them away as presents for friends and family members.
