Copper …for More Than Kettles

Metal accents are an important part of any home design. Trends in home metallics seem to shift about once per decade. The 80’s had bright fake looking brass, the 90s had chrome, the 2000’s had brushed nickel, and the 2010’s saw brass making a resurgence in its brushed form.  Now I’m starting to see copper all over the place.  I’m glad that this may mark the end of the brass era or at least calm it down a bit, I was never able to get fully on the bright gold bandwagon.  Copper, however, is a metal candidate that I can fully endorse. It can add a bright highlight in a range of shiny pink, peach or orange or a more dulled and worn green, blue or bronze color after exposure and patina.  Here are some great items to add to your home to keep up with the copper trend ranging from the minimal investment in a Target clock to fully committed farmhouse sink.  Links to items in the list below.
