Some finishes, like fashion trends, come and go, but aged brass seems to be sticking around. With its captivating shine and hint of luxury, it’s been designers’ go to choice for everything from drawer handles to statement chandeliers.
In even better news, designers these days are eschewing the one-finish rule. Have a house done in all chrome? Don’t sweat it. Have fun and mix your metals. For starters, select a fun piece, like a fixture that’s calling your name, and complement it with a tiny hint or two, like a pillar tray or a decorative mirror. The world is your mixed metal oyster. Get creative.

Aged Brass flush mounts, like the Joni, add a touch of glamour.
