Everything's coming up chrome!

The latest trend from the catwalk to home interiors is new metal.

More and more fashion designers are branching into the home market and introducing some very exciting ideas.

Bronze, brass, pewter and copper are high on the list of finishes for this year whether it be on candles, cushions, vases and even that leather futon, due to new manufacturing techniques, these can be covered in lustrous bronze to create the soft metal touch.
