How to Style Brass Homewares in a Modern Home
Brass is having a serious glow-up moment - and honestly, it deserves it. With its soft, golden warmth and timeless vibes, brass decor adds a little understated luxury to any modern home. But how do you style it without going overboard?
Here’s how to blend brass homewares into your space in a way that feels intentional, elevated, and anything but overdone:
1. Keep It Minimal, But Meaningful
Use one or two key pieces — like a brass trinket dish on your nightstand or a sculptural brass bunny on your bookshelves - to draw the eye and ground the space
2. Contrast with Natural Textures
Brass plays beautifully with natural elements like wood, linen, and stone. Try a brass decor piece on a raw timber side table, or next to a linen cushion for that perfect high-low contrast
3. Group with Glass and Ceramics
Don’t let brass float solo. Curate a vignette with ceramics, books, or glassware to help your brass homewares tell a visual story
4. Use It Functionally (But Make It Pretty)
A brass trinket dish isn’t just for show — use it to hold your rings, palo santo, or even your reusable earplugs (we see you, noise-sensitive queens)
