Overall, I am not surprised that tin has taken over as the interior design world. It does have a lot of flexibility it terms of form, and I would imagine that it also substantially cheaper than precious metals like gold and silver. I have never been a big fan of metals and metallics as an aesthetic in interior design – I am a much bigger fan of woods and stains. I have always associated metallics with the minimalist or modern interior design look. However it is interesting to see how some of these images have incorporated a small tin element into an interior design aesthetic that I would align with my personal preferences. I definitely like the texture it has, which is the upside to this material that this article mentions, and I like how it can take on a visual look other than shiny metal. By this I mean the slightly rusty or aged tin pieces, or the painted tin pieces are much more appealing to me that the fresh clean metal is.
I absolutely love interior design for some reason ever since I was little it was always something that would entertain me for a lifetime. I use to rearrange my room every month and I would go to my friend’s house and redesign her entire room. From painting it ourselves, to building a new closet unit, and ordering all new furniture, I always enjoyed doing it. One of my favorite television shows is property brothers on HGTV because it shows the entire process of buying and flipping a house with a full renovation. I’ve learned a lot from those shows and they continue to fascinate me everyday. I love learning new home trends and tips on how to organize while still keeping you aesthetics so this article was right up my alley. Some of my favorite things are mixing two different elements with different genres of interior design and this article highlights different ways on how to achieve this.
Truthfully I don’t like how tin looks, I think it is cheap and not at all attractive, and I have yet to meet someone who is like, I am so excited I can put tin all over my home. Also, many of the places that mention putting tin are bad places to put tin because tin has a low melting point, and many of these places get very hot. This article also mentions tin ceilings, which are not a new innovation, and are often seen around Pittsburgh, as remnants from the times of Andrew Carnegie and the other Robber Barons. I want to know who and why decided that tin was the next “hot” thing because to me it looks absolutely atrocious. Though I do understand why some people may have thought about it. Tin is a traditionally cheap material, hence why it was traditionally used as roofing in poor Appalachian shacks and motorhomes.
I think that this trend is hideous and I don't know why or how it started. I think that it is pointless and will go away soon so then people will just be stuck with random tin accents around their house. Some of these suggestions are also really random and will not work for everyone so I am confused as to why they are in this article. For example, not everyone has an "overlooked outdoor shower". Most people have like one or two inside. There are a lot of trends that are becoming increasingly popular that I do not understand because I think that they are ugly. I wonder why people like them but if you look at clothes its a similar thing. The high fashion is all kind of ugly but people still love it. There is a difference between innovative and simply ugly and some designers toe the line very well and others simply do not.
