Copper— the new metallic for the 21st century…
But, like so many ever changing trends, shortly after the millennium, we saw the introduction of copper. This warm metallic, which was directly influenced by rose gold fashion accessories, was initially thought to be a short-term trend.
KEEP METALLIC ACCENTS TO A MINIMUM FOR MAXIMUM EFFECT.However, this has not been the case and copper is set to stay! Its soft, lustrous tone will instantly create a warm sophisticated glow in your kitchen, just one of the many reasons why copper has become so popular. It’s a metallic that works really well with so many kitchen finishes. Possibly the most popular combination is to include copper accents in a deep blue painted kitchen, such as Hague blue. The ‘pops’ of copper add a bit of sparkle to the intensity of the blue shade, and look equally as fabulous if a second, contrasting painted shade is used.
