As with any facet of life, interior design has its own trends and fashions that evolve with time as certain combinations become popular. Over the last few years—certainly since the coronavirus pandemic of 2020—one of the most popular interior design trends has been that of biophilic design. In a nutshell, that involved incorporating natural and earthy colours (typically blues, greens, and browns) with wood and stone effects and elements.
Five years on, that trend is shifting towards a cosy-industrial aesthetic, where metallic shades and components are replacing those natural elements. However, far from the cold, clinical look of brushed chrome and steel that many associate with metal decoration, the emphasis is on retaining a feeling of warmth and comfort and combining it with the high-end luxury of metal stylings.
Metallic Paints
Covering your walls with metallic paints such as Viero Allure is a bold move, but one that can deliver exceptional results. These high-quality textured paints deliver the look of a metal wall without the expense and time involved to cover that wall in metal panels. When applied correctly with due care and attention, the effect is nothing short of stunning, whether you intend to coat an entire room with the paint or have a single accent wall to draw the eye.
Benefits of Metallic Paints
Using metallic textured paints to decorate your room offers many benefits. It is as easy to apply as any other kind of paint, so you don’t need any specialist tools or skills to get the job done to a high standard. It is a versatile material, giving you the option to texture the finished wall in a variety of ways, depending on the vision you have for the room.
Perhaps most importantly, there is a vast selection of colours available, allowing you to achieve the warm and cosy feel that is going to be so much on trend in 2025. Light-reflecting precious pigments are incorporated into the paint mix, giving each colour a base of gold or silver pigment that perfectly complements the main colour, reflecting the light and delivering that lustrous metallic sheen.
Warm Metallic Paints
With so many colours available, there should be no problem finding a warm and rich shade that matches the atmosphere you’re hoping to create. If you want a pure metallic effect, there are certain shades of metal that are naturally warm in tone, such as copper, rose gold, bronze, and brass. Of course, the great advantage of having gold or silver hues to your paint is that you can choose any colour and have the metallic pigments shine through.
Orange, yellow, and brown are traditionally considered the warm colours when it comes to interior decoration, and any combination of those three should produce a beautiful, comforting shade for your room. Whether you want a dark, earthy umber or ochre for your walls, a bright and cheerful gold, a warming amber, or somewhere in between, there is little stopping you.
If you're creating a relaxing space, consider opting for soothing greens or calming blues, which bring a sense of tranquillity and serenity to your interiors. For a more striking and energetic atmosphere, vibrant pinks and purples can add a bold and dynamic touch. These versatile colours, combined with shimmering metallic pigments, offer endless possibilities to customise your space to match your desired mood and style.
