As wooden furniture is considered one of the most traditional features of a home, it of course makes perfect sense that you should adorn such furnishings with beautiful silver leaf finishing.

Although wooden furniture is widely used in homes throughout Britain, certain materials such as oak for example, were once used only by the rich and powerful, being bought primarily for occasions such as wedding anniversaries and christenings.

It is no surprise therefore to learn that in the past, metal was also used as a showpiece for wealth and power, being to some extent, a notion that is carried on into the present day.

But why buy silver leaf furniture?

The great thing about the leaf finish is that depending on how your home is decorated, silver leaf furniture fits both contemporary and classical designs.

As balance of decoration is key for any home, it is important that your furniture, carpets and walls match the style that you are aiming for; this is where silver leaf finishing can help.

In a home that is felt to be too contemporary, an exclusive piece of silver leaf furniture can give the classical touch that you need to bring your home back to its roots.

Conversely and depending on the style of the furniture, a piece of chic silver leaf furniture will also work to give more of a modern edge to a home that is heavily based around traditional design.

Whether you are looking for sliver leaf mirrors for the hallways or cabinets for the bedroom, you can be sure to find an item of silver leaf furniture for every room of the house.

Did you know that you could even apply silver finish to your walls and ceiling? Though it may sound a little silly, it is very popular amongst very affluent homes to apply to their walls a beautiful and exquisite, silver leaf finish.

Here is a quick video that shows you how to do it.
