5 Unique Stainless Steel Decor Ideas
Stainless steel is known for its strength and resistance to the elements, both of which make it a popular choice for a wide variety of very practical uses. However, its uses extend much further than just the production of machinery, tools, surgical instruments, or automotive parts. Euro Steel highlights the aesthetic qualities of stainless steel by looking at five uses of the metal in home and office décor.
5 Beautiful Ways to Use Stainless Steel
Clever designers can make pretty much anything out of any material if they set their minds to it. Wood, leather and fabric might be the most common materials for interior decorating, but stainless steel features quite prominently in many interior spaces these days. This is because it is a hardwearing material that can be fashioned into a wide variety of shapes and put to many uses. It also has its own unique beauty and brings a very particular aesthetic to a room. Let’s take a look at five uses for stainless steel – some common, some less so – in the interior decorating field.
1. Countertops
1. CountertopsStainless steel is often associated with the industrial aesthetic – especially in kitchens, where it has traditionally been used for more utilitarian applications like sinks or cutting blocks. However, it isn’t necessary to go completely industrial with shiny steel surfaces. It also lends itself to tasteful minimalism. This can be achieved by incorporating it into designs that feature wood, plastic or stone in larger proportions. For example, you can choose wooden cabinetry and top it off with stainless countertops and fittings. The contrast of the two create an eye-catching contrast.
2. Doors
Wood is the traditional choice for exterior and interior doors, but stainless steel is increasingly in vogue for this application. Stainless steel doors are lighter, yet stronger than wood and can withstand extreme weather conditions. Add some intricate steel- or iron-work and you can create some uniquely decorated front doors, balcony doors – and even interior doors.
3. Light Fixtures
3. Light FixturesSteel has long been a popular choice for light fittings. It lends itself to this purpose with a great deal of stylistic versatility. Designers can use it to create sleek, modern lamps or ornate, baroque chandeliers. You can also opt for a variety of finishes, from classic silver to brushed matte.
4. Sanitaryware
4. SanitarywareStainless steel is a common choice for kitchen sinks, but sanitaryware design extends far beyond that to include bathtubs, vanity slabs, taps and showerheads. The addition of these features to a bathroom can have quite a striking effect.
5. Office And Lounge Furniture
Contemporary lounges, reception areas or boardrooms all make substantial use of stainless steel in one way or another. Boardroom chairs and tables are obvious examples, but even some sofas and dining chairs are made with a creative coupling of steel, leather, faux-leather or fabric these days.
