Hammered Metal Finishes for Interior Furniture & Features

Hammered metal finishes introduce texture, depth and a distinctly handcrafted character to interior spaces. At Designs05, we apply hammered copper and brass finishes across a range of bespoke interior features — from occasional furniture and shelving to bar fronts, wall details and decorative surfaces. Each piece is made to order, with hammering techniques used to create subtle variation and visual movement rather than uniform repetition.

Hammered finishes are chosen for their tactile quality and ability to soften light across a surface, making them particularly effective in character-led residential and hospitality interiors.
