Regardless of the season, you may have some rooms in your home that feel a little cold. If there are too many whites, grays and other “blank” shades, an interior can be left with the inhospitable feeling of a hospital ward. If this sounds all too familiar, then copper could be the cure you’re looking for. This rich, golden shade is a great way of making a room more homely and warm. There are dozens of ways to apply this, from hammered counter-tops to back splash tiles. Even little touches like a vintage copper kettle can be a lovely foil for a room that feels cold.

Using Metallic Decor In The Fireplace
Lining a fireplace with copper is also a wonderful touch you could try out. Sure, the flames of a log fire make a great focal point by themselves. However, when they’re surrounded by brick or stone, a fireplace can end up looking a little dull. When you line a fireplace with copper, you’ll really make the feature leap out. If you’re looking to save some money, you could try using reclaimed copper sheet metal from another interior design project. It may be worth hiring in a kitchen hood welder who specializes in copper.
