Interior designer Tracy Morris of Tracy Morris Design confirms that brass isn’t going to disappear completely. There will just be less of the shiny finish. “Lately, I’ve been loving softer, more lived-in finishes like aged brass, antique pewter and even muted black metals,” Morris says. “These tones feel more refined and versatile, and they pair beautifully with a range of materials and styles. I’m also seeing a lot more mixed metals in one space, which adds depth and keeps things feeling fresh. It’s less about being trendy and more about creating a layered, timeless look.”
