14. Copper and Brass Warmth
Elevate your kitchen’s metallic accents by dedicating your open shelving entirely to the reflective warmth of copper and brass cookware, utensils, and decorative objects.
How to Style It
- Polished Metals: Display hammered copper stockpots, brass candlesticks, and gleaming metal colanders.
- Dark Contrast: Mount these warm metallics against a dark gray or deep navy tile backsplash to make the metal pop.
- Layered Reflections: Place small brass trays beneath glass jars to amplify the sparkling light reflections.
Tips and Variations
- Keep metal polisher nearby to maintain a brilliant shine, or allow them to develop a natural, antique patina over time.
- Mix in warm amber glassware to complement the rich tones of the copper.
