With furniture, accessories, wall tiles, lighting fixtures, tubs, sinks, ceilings and kitchen countertops, copper is making itself well known in the design world. This color is sexy, bold, and depending on what it’s paired with, can read either feminine or masculine. It's a hue that’s on the rise but may be flying below your design radar — for now. This glowing color doesn't boast, it doesn't overwhelm. Instead, copper makes its presence known very subtly while stealing the show.
Because copper has a warm quality and can be finished in many different tones, it goes well with nearly any interior design. It can look bright and shiny; this style often feels contemporary. Then there are copper finishes that are much darker with hardly any luster. When you decide to incorporate copper into your decor, the question is not whether to use copper, it is which finish and design will best compliment your home decor.
Creative use of copper in product and interior design sets exciting and exquisite trends in home decorating. By adding well thought out copper accents you will have guests impressed with your design sense. If you are looking for something fun and new that will look great for a lifetime, don’t be afraid to accent your home with copper. Where can you use it? Just about anywhere. Here are a few examples of where you can let copper shine in your home.
It’s an unexpected new neutral and blowing up as a trend, so you may not love it yet…but it will grow on you.
