Hang copper light fixtures above your dining table

Copper pendant lights are highly popular nowadays. If you want to cast a warm glow over your dining area, hang them in threes over the table or kitchen island. The pinkish sheen of copper plays well with a wide range of colour schemes, though it works best with a neutral kitchen. If you’ve got your heart set on having an all-white kitchen, break up the starkness with copper light fixtures to warm it up a bit.

Upgrade to copper cookware

The late Julia Child was a fan of copper pots and pans, and the iconic cooking teacher and TV personality famously had a collection of them hung on a pegboard in her kitchen in France. For your kitchen redo, take a cue from Child and consider replacing your old cookware with some brand new ones made of copper. Copper pots and pans are favoured by home cooks and professional chefs as not only are they easy to clean, but they also distribute heat evenly. This is essential if you love to cook tender cuts of meat or delicate vegetables. Moreover, displaying your copper pans is one of the easiest ways to give your cooking space a luxurious feel as this metal’s bronze-pink finish gives your kitchen a touch of class and elegance.

 

Use copper drawer pulls and knobs

Perhaps one of the most inexpensive ways to transform the look of your kitchen is by changing the drawer pulls and cabinet knobs. For a simple yet classy upgrade, replace all the pulls and knobs with ones made of copper. Go for those with a matte or satin finish — they’ll look better with age, compared to copper pulls and knobs with a high-shine finish.

The pinkish glow of copper can transform even the simplest kitchen. Try these tips to incorporate copper into your kitchen design for a cooking space that’ll impress your family and friends.
