Sweet Design Sunday: The Allure of Mixing Woods and Metals

Happy Sunday, homies!

Welcome to the first Sweet Design Sunday, where inspiration meets intention at Corner of 7th and Moody. Today, we’re exploring a design trend that brings depth, soul, and individuality to your home: the art of mixing woods and metals.

Much like the buzz around mixing metals—brass with chrome, matte black with gold—combining different woods and metals adds contrast and intrigue. It’s the secret to creating a space that feels layered, thoughtful, and alive. The interplay of warm wood grains and cool metallic finishes gives a room a voice, telling a story that evolves with every glance.

When you mix these textures, you’re curating a look that feels intentionally lived-in. A walnut dining table paired with black steel chairs or a reclaimed wood sideboard adorned with a brushed brass lamp creates harmony through contrast. It’s a look that says, "This wasn’t rushed; it was lovingly collected over time."

So, take a leap. Start small—a bronze mirror over a maple console or an oak coffee table paired with a nickel tray. Trust your instincts, and let your heart guide your choices. Mixing woods and metals isn’t just about design; it’s about daring to let your space tell your story.

Here’s to creating homes with depth and soul. See you next Sunday!

With love,

Andrea
