Chrome home decorNormal people buy beige. I bought everything chrome.

Chrome home decor is for anyone who has seen one too many beige living rooms and wants something with a bit of shine. It's cool, a little retro, and it makes a room look sharper without adding colour.

Start with something small, like a wavy frame for the photo on your desk. Then go bigger with a mushroom floor lamp in chrome, the kind that looks like a sculpture even when it's off. In the kitchen, the moka pot and the sculptural jug do the heavy lifting.

Fill the gaps with salt and pepper grinders, a dotted canister and a chrome tissue box that is far too nice for its job. Keep the rest of the room soft so the metal stands out. Normal people buy beige. You don't have to.
