5 Ways to Transform Your Kitchen

• The meals we make can feel like a warm hug, why not make your kitchen feel the same. Add warmth to your kitchen’s color palette with copper.

• Make a bold style statement in your kitchen with shiny copper accents from utensils and pans to even making your own DIY copper stool.

• Go for a subtle glow with brushed or worn copper that stands out against black and white appliances.

• Choosing one type of copper finish over another is fine. However, we never leave well enough alone, so add both! Create a rosy glow to brighten up a cold space by pairing shiny utensils with your muted metal canisters.
