PRESSED METAL


If you're a fan of reality renovation shows, you'll have noticed a mad love for the good ol' pressed metal or tin. Once found only in period homes, it's become quite the popular finish in any style interior. I'm a big fan. But like with most things, if not used properly it can look ghastly. I'm not particularly fond of the stark silver mirror finish, but when painted, gee it looks damn fine! And if you're really awesome, you'll rust it up and leave it just like that. The beauty of pressed tin is that it is lightweight so can be used just about anywhere. You've probably seen pressed metal ceilings and hallways in period homes (which always excite me). But it also looks amazing as a kitchen splash back or as an entire featured wall. It gives you a great textural finish and you're guaranteed a wow factor. The look is so fabulous, there is even a range of fantastic wallpaper on the market that looks just like the real stuff. Can you pick the wallpaper in the attached images?
