Trending Colors & Finishes

Beyond design styles, colors and finishes play a crucial role. Matte black remains a popular choice, offering a sophisticated and versatile look. Brass and copper finishes add warmth and elegance. Earthy tones, such as terracotta and olive green, bring a touch of nature indoors. Finally, pastel shades offer a soft and calming ambiance. Consider a finish that complements your existing decor.
