If you don't want your interiors to be too minimalistic or simple, then you can always add some brass details!

While they aren't suitable in every single interior, these elements can sometimes make your design complete and satisfying.

Here are a few ideas on how you can use them!

Choose brass accents

Select brass elements such as light fixtures, hardware (like doorknobs or drawer pulls), decorative objects, or even furniture pieces that incorporate brass details.

Consider the style

Think about the overall style and color scheme of your interior.

Brass can complement various design styles, such as modern, vintage, or industrial. 

Ensure that the brass elements you choose harmonize with the existing décor.

Placement

Decide where to incorporate the brass elements in your space. 

For example, you could use brass light fixtures to add a touch of elegance to your dining area or place brass hardware on cabinets or doors for a subtle yet stylish accent.

Mix with other materials

Brass can be combined with various materials like wood, glass, or marble to create an interesting visual contrast. 

Consider incorporating these materials into your design to complement the brass elements.

Maintenance

Brass requires regular cleaning to maintain its shine. 

Use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild brass cleaner to remove any tarnish or fingerprints. 

Avoid using abrasive materials that can scratch the brass surface.

Balance

Keep a balance between brass and other elements in the room. 

Too much brass can overpower the space, so it's important to use it selectively and in moderation.

Natural patina

Over time, brass develops a natural patina, which can add character to the material. 

If you prefer the aged look, you can allow the brass to develop its patina naturally. 

However, if you want to maintain the shiny appearance, regular cleaning is necessary.
