Although custom metal art, fences, and gates are commonplace both inside and outside commercial spaces, metal embellishments also add a dramatic effect to home interiors and exteriors. Swapping out a wooden banister for an ornate metal railing, or a vinyl fence for a wrought-iron gate, will boost the overall appeal and value of your property. If you’re wondering how to incorporate custom metal art in, and around, the house, below are three interesting ideas to get you started. 

3 Ways to Use Custom Metal Art in Your Home

1. Add Elements of Nature to Exterior Installations

For security, many homeowners have automatic gates or fences installed around property perimeters. These entrances are what visitors see before entering the house, so put serious thought into their designs. A motif of the landscape on a custom metal gate will help unify the home with its surroundings. You can incorporate elements of nature into the custom metal art by creating a gate with a motif that features indigenous plants, wildlife, or your favorite flowers.

2. Update Traditional Banisters With Ornate Fixtures 

Staircases in multi-level homes often have banisters. Although the railings are an important safety feature, they can also make the space pop while adding an overall sense of luxury to the home. Metal railing installations with intricate floral motifs add texture and dramatic effect to passageways. You can go for a completely new design or incorporate patterns found in home rugs, wallpapers, or furniture. If you want to open up the space, opt for a simple railing with long, straight balusters. The geometric design helps elongate spaces.  

3. Make Interior Support Beams Unexpected Focal Points 

Exposed rafters, posts, and support beams add visual interest to a ceiling, but they’re often overlooked due to their high placement. To draw focus to the ceiling, install metal panels over the areas where support beams and rafters meet. The contrast of shiny metal against wood will help move the eye upward.
