During the monsoon, a logical step to brighten up your interiors would be to incorporate pops of colour. How about switching things up instead, and opting for the sophisticated sheen of metallics? It's a trend that is making waves on the catwalks, so it's only a matter of time before we're going to see it becoming all the rage for the home, as well. Gold, silver, copper and bronze are just the start - every color can also be available in a metallic version, which will automatically add a glamorous shine to any room it is in. Take a look at these moodboards that Discern has created - an ideal guide for you to bring home metallics in style this monsoon!



Silver and Gold







Consider creating a glam living room with a mix of different metals, veering away from the previously-held belief that mix-and-match is a no no. A variety of gold and silver accessories will best stand out when set against an otherwise neutral colour palette. We've chosen a grey patterned wallpaper which adds a hint of texture, and a neutral sofa in a lighter shade of grey. Have fun with the cushions - the gold sequined option is complemented nicely by the hot pink.

Discern Tip: A good way to incorporate metallic décor into a room of your home is by allowing those pieces to be the star of the show, and keeping the rest of the furniture and accents as neutral as possible.

Ornamental Metal





Metallics are great for those of you who aren't afraid of making a statement. However, if you prefer just a hint of the sheen, here's our recommendation on how to keep it simpler. Consider a white panelled wall, which will provide a plain yet smoothly textured surface that will blend well with the metallic decor pieces. Choose luxe accessories such as the Sateen Gold dinner napkin, and gold-plated cutlery. Add pops of color with fresh flowers in cheery shades - a bunch of pink tulips or daisies for example will work well.

Extravagant Glamour







For a look that spells pure drama, choose dark fabrics and backdrops with touches of metallic shine by way of the right accessories. Mix metal with satin, to achieve a luxe look that will be both sophisticated and exciting. A look like this could work well for a study or a dining room - you don't want to choose it for a room you use every day necessarily, as it can become a bit overwhelming, In this mood board, we have used three different types of surfaces and textures to create the look we had in mind. Satins, silks and metals all come together harmoniously to create a look that is mysterious, elegant and global, all at once.

Rose Gold







Rose gold is a favourite at the Discern office these days - we love how it has made its way onto everything from clothing to accessories to home decor goods we're coveting. Choose this shade if you're looking for a fashionable way to upgrade your interiors. Keep the walls of the room you're using this in light - a crisp white is always a good idea. Consider a rose gold polka dot statement wall and create depth by using multiple shades in the same colour story - apart from rose gold, copper, brownish gold and sparkling beige will also work well. The key is to use surfaces with a similar metallic sheen, such as this beige cushion with a geometric pattern, the copper photo frame with gilded edges, and the dining table accessories that we've chosen.
