The Bold Resurgence of Brass in Interior Design

Brass is back - and it’s making a serious statement in the world of interior design. Whether you’ve been scrolling through Pinterest or diving into the latest design blogs, you’ve likely noticed the unmistakable warmth and elegance of brushed brass fixtures, fittings and accents. Once a hallmark of the 1980s, this timeless metal is now at the forefront of modern commercial spaces, from chic bars to high-end restaurants.

At P&P Bornmore Metals, we’ve always known the value of brass. As the UK’s leading metal service centre specialising in architectural metalwork, we provide the highest quality brass products to designers, architects and manufacturers looking to capture the essence of this design renaissance. Our brass offerings include round, square, and flat bars, as well as tubes, sheets, channels and box sections—perfect for a wide range of applications.

Why Brass?

Brass is more than just a trend - it’s a statement of sophistication. Its rich, golden tones bring a sense of luxury to any space, making it an ideal choice for shop fittings, restaurant interiors, and bar counters. Beyond aesthetics, brass is also highly functional:

Corrosion-Resistant – Unlike iron or steel, brass doesn’t rust, making it ideal for humid environments like bars and restaurants.

Low Maintenance – Brass develops a natural patina over time, which many designers love for its antique charm. However, it can also be polished back to a brilliant shine when desired.

Hygienic – With natural antimicrobial properties, brass is a great choice for high-touch surfaces, such as door handles and bar tops.

Versatile & Malleable – Brass can be easily shaped and fabricated, making it a favourite material for intricate architectural details, custom lighting and decorative metalwork.

Whether your design style is modern minimalism or vintage grandeur, brass complements a variety of aesthetics, bringing warmth and depth to any space.
