The Evolution of Polished Nickel in Interior Design

Polished nickel has a history in interior design, emerging from the industrial boom of the late 19th century. But it wasn’t until during the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s, polished nickel became a hallmark of modernity and elegance, embodying the era’s love for sleek lines and geometric shapes. It adorned luxurious ocean liners, grand hotels, and upscale residences, symbolising contemporary style.

In the mid-20th century, polished nickel enjoyed renewed popularity. The post-war era, with its shift towards minimalism and functionality in home design, found polished nickel a versatile choice for both bold and subtle interiors. Its reflective surface added depth and sophistication, making it a favoured material for designers.

Today, polished nickel remains a sought-after choice, particularly in stair rods, for its contemporary elegance.
