Bronze Cabinets

To style bronze cabinets, you should first look around your existing space and get a feel for the other design elements you have in your room - particularly, any metallic accents that you may have. Mixing metals tends to be a fashion faux pas, unless you want to make that the focus of your living space.

Once you’ve gotten a sense for the other metals you have in your room, you can style your bronze cabinet by setting it up against a wall with adequate empty space on both sides. Dressing it up with wooden accents and a few books is always a good move. Remember that you can also metal paint other features in your room bronze or gold as well to better go with your bronze cabinet.

Bronze cabinets are fairly easy to clean and care for. This mainly because bronze is resistant to water corrosion and highly durable. But just because it is easy to clean does not mean that it should be ignored or neglected. Failure to clean and maintain your bronze cabinets may lead to a greenish patina since it is an alloy composed of 12 percent tin and 88 percent copper.

There are two ways to clean bronze - the first includes using lemon juice and baking soda and mixing into a paste, while the second one uses salt, white flour, and white vinegar. Once you've formed a paste with either method, apply it to the bronze using a cloth, rub it into areas most affected or discolored, and then leave to rest for an hour.

Then rinse the paste, dry the bronze off completely and use a cloth with a few drops of olive oil to restore the shine.

Warm neutrals are, without a doubt, the perfect backdrop for cabinets finished in bronze. Ivory, cream, beige, and tan are elegant tones that go well with these types of cabinets. These colors serve as a subtle canvas for the bronze accent pieces to stand out while adding a little bit of character to the space. A warm neutral hue is an ideal choice if you feel your walls look too dull in white.

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with playing it safe and sticking with white. Bronze furniture can take center stage and pop beautifully against white walls to create a stunning focal point.

Alternatively, it’s possible to create a bold, masculine interior design scheme when bronze cabinets are combined with cool shades. To achieve this aesthetic in your own home, paint your walls in grey, steel blue, or taupe.

Bronze cabinets also pair beautifully with muted green walls if you don’t mind an eclectic look!
