I have started thinking about potentially using copper for my metal tins.
Copper has been a huge trend over the past couple of years, and I think because the tins are going to be used for a secondary purpose, it would be ideal if they fit into a trend/were a desirable object to have in the home.
Out of all of the interior design trends from 2017, copper deserves to be discussed at length. This warm metal is a refreshing change from the harsh connotations created by more traditional options. If you’re a fan of the modern-yet-welcoming look that copper can bring to your interiors, keep this post close at hand. No matter which room you’re hoping to redesign, our tips will help you create an eye-catching final product.
“The copper trend arrived when designer Tom Dixon brought his pendants to the public consciousness as the must-have metal in your home," says Kate Butler, design manager for Habitat.
"Whereas chrome could seem cold and clinical and gold signalled ‘a bit of bling’, copper provided a warming, sophisticated glow that could be easily incorporated into interior schemes to add an element of understated, cool lux. The copper 'moment' shows no sign of slowing down – its affordability has led to a huge resurgence on the high street and at Habitat we’re seeing a real demand for copper products and more understated, warming metals such as brass and rose gold across accessories, furniture and, most notably, lighting where the materials warming glow really comes into its own.
"Copper’s versatility has really allowed our design team to experiment with a lot of new looks and in the past few seasons we’ve been moving designs on from just ‘pure’ copper to mixing it with vivid block colour and contrasting materials such as wood and smoked glass to create a variety of feels from mid-century cool to Scandinavian luxury. Copper is still a very desirable material and I don’t see any sign of its appeal fading over the next few years.”
The three main strands of the trend are brushed, often seen on cutlery and lamps, beaten metal, which works for crockery, and lastly wire, which is used on picture frames, mirrors and occasion furniture. It is also used with a highly polished finish, which has a more golden look, as opposed to its natural deep orange tone. Think beaten metal tumblers with a copper outside finish and silver steel on the inside, kitchen trays and wire storage baskets and tables.
Sam Hood, founder and creative director of Amara, the luxury homewares store, said: "Metallics have, over the past few years, become really popular in statement pieces. Interior trends tend to mimic the catwalk and the copper and metallic trend has leapt from the clothes rails straight into people’s home décor inspiration. The warm copper and brass shades are easier to incorporate in the home, and people tend to link them to the warmth it brings."
