Anyway, it's taken me a while to warm up to the resurgence of brass, but now that I've seen it in modern settings, I'm loving it. Brass is back, but in a VERY different way... with subtler tones and sleek modern lines. I stumbled across the above photo while flipping through my dwell magazine the other day, I can't get enough of it. Brass with white and natural wood... the brass warms up this kitchen in a way that polished chrome or stainless steel couldn't do. And it adds a little touch of formality, but in a non-stuffy way.
A few more examples of brass in modern(ish) kitchens:

A common element, and what makes it all work, is the whites and grays in these spaces. Come to think of it, I may have just the client for this combination...
What do you all think?
I adore this trend. My personal design aesthetic is heavily influenced by the 60s and 70s, so I have a lot of brass fixtures and furnishings and it makes me a little bit giddy to see it making a come back!
ReplyDeleteI typically prefer less warmth, but I can see how this would make a more modern approach appealing to people would otherwise shy away. The chandeliers in the last picture are a great touch.
