Wondering how to start decorating with copper in the kitchen(See our top choices)? Here are ten easy and cool tips to try out:
1. Copper Surfaces
Copper surfaces, such as your countertops, are a great way to add a touch of this material, adding a sheen and glow.

Just because your taps and faucets aren’t the usual stainless steel or chrome doesn’t mean it’s old-fashioned! Go for copper fittings, which are strong, ages well and looks just as great as having copper surfaces. Choose to match it with a copper sink with a faucet for a coordinated and sleek look to it.
3. Lamps
If ever you chose to have a copper faucet and sink, the best way to match it in the kitchen is with light fittings made of copper, too.
This is a great choice with exterior light fittings, as it’s weather-resistant and it has the rustic charm indoors. For those who want a copper-inspired kitchen, suspended copper lamps are best.
