Stainless steel finishes have been en vogue for the past decade or so, along with nickel, chrome, and oil-rubbed bronze, but lately the warmer touch of classic bronze is starting to make a return to the home remodeling scene. Take a look at these innovative new products that can bring the glow of bronze into your home.
Unique Pendants
Pendant lights are becoming increasingly popular. If you are planning for kitchen remodeling in Milwaukee, Callen can install slim-profile pendant lights over your kitchen island, or pendants with wider mounts for the perfect focal point for your entryway or dining room. The combination of a rich bronze fixture with colored glass can result in an elegant look or a more modern, utilitarian feel, depending on the style of your light. Either way, the turn away from chrome and steel will lend a much softer look to the space.
Surface Shimmer
The warm tones of bronze are also appearing on other surfaces. Paint colors are evolving, and many homeowners are finding that a little metallic shimmer on the walls can really brighten a room. Others are transitioning from the more limited color options of granite countertops to counters made of recycled glass. Glass countertops can be applied wherever natural stone is used, and shards of crushed glass (incorporated during the manufacturing process) in shades of amber and flint are the perfect complement to bronze fixtures. Other common applications are in surrounds and architectural cladding.
