Design Insight: Why Interior Designers Love Brass in Modern Spaces

Brass is having a moment—and it’s not just a trend. From boutique hotels in Miami to high-end residential interiors in New York and California, interior designers are turning to brass for its warmth, character, and timeless appeal.

But what makes brass such a favorite? And why is it showing up everywhere from kitchen islands to coffee tables and custom furniture legs?

Let’s explore why designers are choosing brass—and where you can find the best handcrafted pieces for your next project.

1. Brass Adds Warmth Without Overpowering the Space

Unlike chrome or stainless steel, brass gives off a softer, golden glow. It balances modern minimalism with a touch of old-world luxury, making it ideal for contemporary interiors that still want to feel lived-in.The golden undertones create an inviting atmosphere that designers use to make large spaces feel more intimate.

Designers love using our AYLA Brass Coffee Table Base  to add subtle glamour without overdoing it.

🛠️ 2. It’s Durable and Versatile

Solid brass isn’t just beautiful—it’s strong. That’s why many professionals use it for structural and statement pieces alike.

Our customers often choose Kitchen Island Leg / BRASS DIZDAR 01   for residential and commercial kitchens that demand both style and strength.

3. Brass Elevates the Ordinary

Even the simplest shape feels premium when finished in brushed or polished brass. A basic cabinet  or table suddenly becomes a design feature.

4. It Works Across Styles

Whether your project leans industrial, coastal, Scandinavian, or art deco—brass fits in. Interior designers love its chameleon-like quality. It can look vintage or ultra-modern depending on the finish.

Interior designers love brass because it adapts to any aesthetic:

• Modern Minimalist: Brushed brass with clean lines
• Traditional: Polished brass with ornate details
• Industrial: Raw brass with exposed construction
• Bohemian: Antique brass with vintage appeal

We offer a wide range of custom options including:

5.Reflects Light to Brighten Interiors

Brass material acts as a natural light reflector, helping interior designers brighten dark spaces without adding more fixtures. The warm reflection of brass creates a golden hour effect throughout the day.

Designer Strategy: Place brass elements strategically to bounce natural light around rooms and create depth.

6. Designers Trust the Craftsmanship

Designers value precision, proportion, and finish. That’s why they choose custom brass legs from trusted makers who understand both form and function.

At Balasagun, we’ve been crafting metal furniture legs since 2013—offering tailored solutions that interior designers depend on.
