Decorating to a theme is always fun but it is very easy to go overboard. The important thing with themes is to remember that the idea is not to walk into the room and feel like you have walked into a page in a catalogue showing every single thing that could possibly relate to that theme. You want the room to reflect your chosen theme through some carefully chosen focal pieces that draw your attention. If you have too many focal points in a room, the overall effect is too cluttered and each piece cannot be appreciated in and of itself.
To coordinate your room you take one focal point, like a metal lamp with a flowing pattern or design. Then place that lamp in your room and add other metal pieces to it. Don't crowd these accessories too close together. Filling a room with metal that is organically shaped will make it seem like a metal section in a Bed, Bath, and Beyond and the affect you were trying to accomplish will be lost.
What color metal are you going to choose? There are so many different colored metals that you might find it hard to choose. The most common color is of course silver. It's easy to find accessories to go with the silver look. Furniture needs to match with your accessories as well. Mix and match can be hard to put together and may not result in the balanced look. If you go with something like copper than balance it out with gold or neutral tones to help bring balance to the room.
Metal is hard so you need to find a great way to bring it all together. You want the room to feel comfortable even though you are accessorizing with metals. Consider adding an area rug to the floor to help give color and pattern to your room. You can find an area rug in every color, shape, and size so finding the balance is not going to be too difficult. Try one large area rug in the middle of the room or you can place several little rugs down in different places in the room.
Finalize your look with fluffy cushions that will contrast the design of the rug. The more metal you use the more fluffy cushions and pillows you want to use. Find pieces that can serve more than one purpose so you can use it in different rooms at different times, that is where you get your money's worth.
