This post will show you how to mix copper with metals in your kitchen design.
If you’re currently planning a kitchen remodel or are making choices regarding decor and simple tips for mixing copper finishes in your kitchen, I think you will find some inspiring ideas in this post.
First, is it okay to mix different metal finishes in a kitchen?
The answer is absolutely yes!
While you should feel free to mix metal finishes in your kitchen, I and most interior designers would recommend to stick with two metals but definitely no more than three metal finishes for one room.
It’s a good idea to use your primary metal finish for permanent fixtures like faucets and lighting. Then, use your secondary finishes on your drawer and door pulls, towel bars, etc. Then, add in copper accents as a way to enhance the overall look of the kitchen.
Decorating with copper in the kitchen creates a cozy, European like charm that would make any kitchen feel instantly more beautiful.
A few ideas to keep in mind when mixing metals in the kitchen:
Incorporate reclaimed wood accents for rustic charm and unique, vintage aesthetics.
Use shiplap walls to create a cozy and classic farmhouse feel.
Install industrial lighting fixtures like pendant lights and exposed bulbs for a raw, stylish look.
Choose apron-front sinks for their charm, practicality, and deep basins ideal for large cookware.
Add vintage touches with aged metal canisters, antique clocks, and rustic furniture for warmth and character.
