If you want a home that is always modern and fresh you're probably keeping an eye on colours that are trending. In collaboration with the latest colours, you will always find elements that work with these colours, such as organic materials, stone and glass, but particularly metal elements. We've seen various metals become trendy in the last few years and it seems that brass is once again a favourite.
Brass has always been popular, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries when this material was in vogue for all types of fittings. And brass once again comes to the fore but this time in sleek, modern forms and finishes that add warmth to any room, but particularly today's kitchens.

Brass accents will add warmth to any room in a home, including bathrooms and bedrooms, but this metal element really shines when it's highlighted by neutral or light cabinets and fittings or when it's used to bring out the best in a colourful kitchen.

One of the easiest and most affordable ways to introduce brass - or other metallic elements - into your kitchen is with Rust-Oleum spray paint. Rust-Oleum have a range of metallic spray paints that can be used to transform almost any material into burnished brass, brilliant brass, vintage brass or textured brass.
You will find the full range of Rust-Oleum products at Builders Warehouse. At around R100 per can - and with each can of Rust-Oleum offering high cover - you definitely get value for money.
Use Rust-Oleum metallic spray paint to pretty up secondhand stools and chairs to introduce the warmth of brass into a cool kitchen. All that's required is a bit of TLC to get the stools ready for painting and then shake and spray. Steel or wrought iron is instantly transformed to a burnished brass finish that's perfectly on trend.

You can use Rust-Oleum metallic spray paint on plastic, metal, wicker and wood to give dated accessories a new look for your kitchen. Think lampshades, handles and knobs, plant pots and containers - almost any material can be transformed with a can of spray paint!
The one brilliant thing about using spray paint for a new look is that it doesn't have to be permanent. If you need to change the look to keep up with trends - change it with spray paint.

Retro bar stools, metal frame shelves and steel frame pendant lights are given a new look with a couple of coats of metallic spray paint in brilliant brass. Finishing off a few accents with bronze metallic spray paint allows them to complement other elements in the kitchen.

A clever idea to incorporate the warmth of brass in a modern kitchen is to spray the inside of lampshades with brilliant brass. Not only does this bring a brass element into the space, it also serves to heat up your accent lighting by reflecting a warm glow.
