If you’ve fallen in love with the red-brown metal with a shiny coat, then you probably have a few copper pieces in your home. The year 2017 was a huge year for this type of metal that’s mined in open pits. The world of interior design isn’t quite finished with this charming metal just yet. So don’t be surprised if you will see a glimmer or two of copper accents this year.
Copper has been used in home and building décor for thousands of years. This is an element that’s a known conductor of electricity. But it’s not just a piping or wiring material. It is so malleable and it offers a lovely red-orange shine when properly polished that it can transform interior design in a snap.
The Copper Kitchen
It is still fancy to decorate with farmhouse faucets as well as stove hood vent. The shiny rose finish is what makes this metal an awesome addition to your kitchen. And what’s a kitchen without the polished pots and pans, right? Have them all on full display.
These pots are no longer just functional, they also become decorative in the process. These pieces effortlessly give your kitchen a rustic look. Just make sure that you maintain the gleaming finish so that the style stays, too.
But don’t just limit your kitchen to just the copper pots, pans, and faucets, though. There is a lot more to copper than just these stuff. You can also go further with a copper-colored sink. You can also use copper-clad glasses, mugs, decanters, and corkscrews.
Copper kettle, anyone? Do away with the stainless steel and go for something more exceptional.
Remember that each piece is timeless but if you want copper to be the star of the show, then have a copper countertop installed. You will have the benefit of having a bacteria-free countertop since copper is biostatic. This unique countertop is sure to become a vivid complement to the décor in the kitchen (or even the bathroom if you’re using tiles).

The Copper Pendant
Quality lighting has the power to make or break a home’s design. The initial step in looking for the best lighting for a home is to decide which kind of lighting fixture to install. More and more homeowners are buying pendant lighting because of their beauty and versatility.
Pendant lighting can be used in either contemporary or traditional homes. This is the perfect accent to cap the look in a room. It can be hung high or low and it has a lot of options.
Copper pendant lighting is best in illuminating areas that need concentrated lighting. It is not harsh to the eyes because it is both decorative and easy to look at. Even the moodiest room will look attractive with any copper pendant.
If the pendant light is a little too decorative for you, then you can also opt for the glow of the bedside lamp. The copper-inspired table lamp can be placed on a dining room buffet, by the bedside, and the living area.
The Copper Accents
If you long to give your space a dose of style that is far from overpowering, then copper can be your go-to element. You can add some glossy, copper candelabra or some copper terrariums. What about a metal-inspired pillow?
Copper can make your room appear more stunning. Just incorporate a copper accent or two. A lot of copper pieces isn’t good, too, as they could make the room look like a metal shop. Use some copper wall décor such as pressed tiles, plaques or some copper-lined mirrors. These will surely bring out the warmth in the room.

Fall is the best season to bring out the beauty of metals in your home. All metallic inspirations are welcome not only because they are a hot trend but also because the rich colors of brass, gold, chrome, nickel and copper all offer the perfect hues for the season.
Metals are definitely here to stay so it would be a waste if you won’t join many others who have finally embraced the beauty and glimmer that these materials offer. If you’re convinced that you could give metallic interiors a shot, here are some ideas –
The Details Count – A Lot
Metallic interiors are equal to beautiful, livable and posh interiors. Prepare to get a lot of attention as your home would be oozing with style. As you use metals, though, make sure that you don’t forget to add comfort and a homely appeal, still.
Metals offer timeless beauty especially if you know how to use them. Sure, they often go with modern themes but don’t be imprisoned by this thought. Even traditional homes would look great with the right kind of metal furnishings or accessories.
Metal is also industrial although it may also not mean this motif all the time. It can also be used in the creation of glamorous yet soft areas in your home.
Metal does not automatically mean cold or uncomfortable. This can also offer warmth and an inviting interior so long as you use correct juxtapositions. An example is the plush white cotton paired with the sturdiness of a metal bed frame.
Metal at the End of 2016
It has been forecasted that metals will be big this year and those who predicted this were correct. Metal has the power to tie a room altogether, even with the tiniest details. Brass handrails, copper taps, even metal door handles may be small additions yet they could feature the architectural part of your home or could make furnishings appear special.
It is, indeed, the end of the year 2016 so you can exit this year with a huge bang. Metals can bring in new style to your home so there is no reason not to embrace it. Don’t think that it’s meant to overpower since it can be softened with the use of some accessories.
Metal wall finishes like textured panels provide the perfect industrial look. Metal flooring, on the other hand, can be the welcome respite in any monochromatic space.
The hottest metals in the market these days are these three – copper, rose gold and bronze. The first and last metals have always been on top of the list. Rose gold is young, warm and glamorous just like its classic counterparts. Copper and bronze are edgy and current, two characteristics that are rarely offered by other metal types.

And the Winner Is…Copper!
Rich copper is great during fall. This is that golden hue in your kitchen provided by the hammered countertops and backsplash tiles. Copper has always been a go-to metal in terms of warm aesthetics.
Copper is also perfect in the fireplace. Most fireplaces come with natural rocks, tiles or bricks but there is this growing trend where copper can also be used. Reclaimed copper sheets can be used as trimming for the interiors. Ask an artisan to assist you with the installation to ensure utmost safety in your home.
Copper is hotter than hot. Brass and gold may be the biggies during 1980s but copper is a trend that keeps coming back. Adding glam to your bedroom is as easy as having metallic wallpaper installed. Just have one wall with this color as it can overcome the senses if you use more than a statement wall.
