Copper Kitchen Lighting may seem old fashioned, but things are changing in world of metals used in the home. Who thought brass would be back, which it is, but copper? For starters, copper has never gone out of style when it comes to traditional kitchens or copper pots which exude the eternal chic of French Country interiors.
Mix and Chic highlighted a new kitchen that used copper in a variety of ways. From Kitchen pendant lights to counters, copper is surely unique and durable.
Copper Lighting is the real star of this kitchen. I like that they used a variety of different styles to keep things interesting. The dining nook features a classic lantern-style fixture while the cooking zone has a combination of turn-of-the-century style ceiling lights and functional recessed cans.
One great feature is the weathered looking copper counter hammered on the island...rustic, unique and innovative.
The top left image is from another kitchen but I use it as an example of how you can introduce copper lighting into an existing space that doesn't use copper throughout.
By painting the wall a deeper yellow, the copper pendants seamlessly work with other metals and become a counterbalance to the white cabinets and classic marble counters. The other pictures are just more yummy images of using copper to the hilt.
1. The timeless Kichler Larkin Copper Foyer Pendant can look wonderful over a large island or breakfast table.
2. The Kichler Archibald Antique Copper Mini Pendant is great for a contemporary kitchen. Who said copper was stodgy!
3. Keep things cool in the kitchen with the 13" Matthews Bianca Directional Polished Ceiling Fan. Just make sure you have enough ceiling height for a fan.
4. Large traditional kitchens or breakfast rooms can take the heft of the Ancaster Copper Outdoor Wall Light.
