What was once a material used mostly by high-end designers like Milo Baughman, chrome is becoming a staple in the collections of big-box retailers, and we can understand why. Sleek, futuristic, and often tubular, the shiny finish is both elevated and understated. Warm it up with complementary colors and lots of texture. The best part? Ultra-reflective surfaces make even the smallest space feel more expansive. Below, shop our favorite chrome pieces on the market.
