Brass also works just as well in contemporary settings as traditional and really pops against dark colours, whilst bringing style and sophistication.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how you can incorporate the next up and coming trend into your home, should you choose to do so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>In the bathroom<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Keep it simple in the bathroom with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/acatalog\/taps-and-bath-fillers.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">taps and fillers<\/a>, available in a range of finishes, to get the metallic look. Or go the whole hog with a brass wall to lift dark furniture and colour schemes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This brass wall looks stunning alongside the polished concrete bath surround and floor in this Copenhagen bathroom designed by Norm Architects. Not only does it make a great floor-to-ceiling splashback, as it ages it will provide further textural interest to the overall design.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com\/736x\/c6\/b6\/b2\/c6b6b23d5be4067ffdb0d5d4ef1345de.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"410\" height=\"588\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">style-files.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the kitchen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re more than familiar with the use of stainless steel in domestic kitchens, but brass has yet to make the same impact.
