Metal, which has long been relegated to the realms of engineering and construction, has been magnificently reinvented in the field of interior design. At Studio Saint Pierre, we see metal as much more than a practical choice: it’s a vehicle for elegance and luxury. In this article, we explore why and how this versatile material deserves your full attention.

A brief history of metal in design

From the elaborate ironwork of the 19th century to the sleek, industrial designs of the 1920s, metal has always had a place in interior design. Its great versatility and ability to adapt to a variety of styles make it a staple of high-end interior design today.

Playing with textures by Studio Saint Pierre

Far from the smooth, cold surfaces of yesteryear, today’s metal offers an incredible wealth of textures. At Studio Saint Pierre, this is our core expertise, with specialized work on the creation of bespoke textures. Whether you prefer a subtle brushed finish, a high-impact hammered texture or the development of a customized concept, our craftsmanship enables you to achieve an unparalleled level of personalization. These exclusive textures transform metal into an element in its own right, adding a touch of sophistication to any space.

Studio Saint Pierre’s tips for integrating metal

• Start small: Start with discreet metal accessories, such as brass light fittings or steel door handles.
• Make a thoughtful choice: The choice of metal should be in keeping with the overall ambience. Warm metals like gold and copper bring warmth and elegance, while steel and silver offer a contemporary touch.
• Don’t overlook the details: small metal additions can make a big impact. A bronze tap, an aluminum mirror frame, a decorative copper panel in your entrance hall, can be the finishing touches that make all the difference.

Conclusion

Metal isn’t just a material; it’s an expression of elegance, sophistication and attention to detail. At Studio Saint Pierre, our expertise in bespoke textures and our keen sense of design make us leaders in the incorporation of this refined element.
