Copper Kitchen Accents

This is the practical path through the project, including the choices that stayed. Love the look of copper in the kitchen? There are so many finished copper kitchen accents to choose from! I'm sharing my favorites!

When you're redo work or updating your kitchen, one thing you need to decide on is what metal finishes you're using. Most people use nickel, chrome, or brass, but have you given any thought to copper? Whether you use copper accents in larger doses like a copper range or kitchen pendants or you bring in smaller copper kitchen decor accents, the warmth of copper can't be matched!

Today I'm sharing some approaches and inspiration for how to incorporate copper accents into your kitchen and The household has gathered together some kept copper kitchen decor pieces too. (post includes affiliate links – see my full disclosure statement {here}).

Copper Kitchen Lighting

You can bring copper into your kitchen with new pendant lighting like in this finished kitchen with two copper pendants over the island:

A strong choice is how the copper mixes so well with the other metal finishes of the faucet and cabinet pulls and knobs.

If you don't have pendants in your kitchen, another option is to add copper flush mount lighting over the sink (this is a laundry room but you could do the same thing in a kitchen!):

While they used a different finish for the faucet, they tied in the copper color with the canisters on the countertop which is smart. One of my pointers for mixing metals is to have each metal you use in at least two different spots in the room. You can see my other pointers for mixing metals in {this post}.

Copper Kitchen Accents

Bringing copper finishes into your kitchen can also be as simple as adding a grouping of copper pots, whether they're hanging from a pot rack over your kitchen island or from a wall mounted rack over the range like in this beautifully designed kitchen:

Or if you want to go all out, you could add a copper range hood or range like this beauty:

or you could stick with the range you have and simply display some pretty copper pots and other bakeware on open shelving. The striking kitchen is a great example of both!

Another option I absolutely love the look of is a copper sink, especially this combination with white cabinets and dark countertops:

While an option for bringing a smaller dose of copper into your kitchen is to use copper knobs and pulls like {these}:

What do readers think – do you love the look of copper too or are you more into other types of metals (brass? venetian bronze? silver?)? Luckily it's easy to baby step your way into using copper in the kitchen by choosing smaller copper kitchen decor accents. These are my favorites:
