## Story

Metal has been a popular material utilized in home decor for the past several years, with touches strewn throughout rooms by designers to add an element of glamor. However, some homeowners have fallen victim to overuse- turning high-class into gaudy. In order to accentuate metal without over doing it, Amber Dias of Showhomes compares her approach to selecting jewelry.

“There’s nothing prettier than a beautiful silver metallic layered in gold, but in most cases, less is more,” Dias told Realtor.com.

She suggests subtle touches to avoid making your home look like a nightclub, such as combining mirrored furniture with metallics while neutralizing the rest of the color scheme.
