If Beyoncé’s 2023 Renaissance tour taught us anything, it’s that silver looks good on everybody. And now that we’ve fully embraced metallics in our wardrobes, this trend is making its way into our homes as well. According to Pinterest’s 2024 trend forecast, cool metallics like silver and chrome are shaping up to be one of this year’s hottest design trends as people look for edgier alternatives to basic finishes.

Now, that’s not to say that warm metals like gold or brass are definitively “out.” After all, these finishes are classics for a reason, and my vintage-loving heart will always have a soft spot for a good aged brass. But after several years of gold accents reining supreme, some people are setting their sights elsewhere. So if you’re looking for something to make your space feel fresh and current, silver decor might be it. Read on for the best ways to incorporate the silver decor trend into your space, plus our favorite shopping picks to get you started.

How to Try the Silver Decor Trend

As far as trends go, silver decor is a pretty safe bet. Finishes like chrome, polished nickel, and silver are nothing new—you might even have some of these finishes already in your kitchen or bathroom. These high-shine metals became especially popular during the Art Deco and mid-century modern movements of the 1900s, which means they can look perfectly at home amid both vintage and more contemporary decor. And since silver technically counts as a neutral, you can add cool metallic accessories to basically any color scheme. Even amid warmer tones like beige and brown, shiny silver finishes act more like a mirrored surface than a standalone color, so they’ll add contrast without clashing.

The easiest way to try the silver trend is to start with smaller accessories. If you love the finish on pieces like candlesticks, vases, and other decorative objects, try it on a more substantial piece like a mirror or table lamp. And if you’re all-in on silver, furniture with polished metallic accents can make a striking statement.
