But Obviously, the paid libraries like Telerik you will get more features, more functions, to make your app interactive. You will find many libraries, even some readymade templates too, If you are getting many features in those templates go for it, otherwise, if you need more features go for 3rd party, Telerik is best among all.

I think you're confusing concepts here. Metro is not "supported" for WinForms or WPF, it is a completely different framework. WinForms and WPF run in the "desktop" portion of Win8, while Metro apps run in the "Metro style app" portion. The only thing Metro and WPF really have in common is that they both (potentially) may use XAML as their design languageThe strict Metro UI apps are Windows 8 only, and they require WinRT.
But if you want to simulate the Metro style in Windows 7 and Windows Forms, you can use third party controls (or develop your own), such as the Telerik ones,

Try WPF development using Elysium library on codeplex - http://elysium.codeplex.com/.
You can find the installation guide and sample implementation code here http://bizvise.com/2012/09/27/how-to-create-metro-style-window-on-wpf-using-elysium/
Inshort, You have to go for 3rd Party library to design metro ui for Windows Form application.
