Warm, welcoming, and suddenly, seemingly everywhere, it wouldn’t be an overstatement to declare copper the rose-gold of housewares. Copper lends itself to any décor or palette, whether your taste runs to cozy-cabin chic or stark minimalism. Plus, the metal plays nicely with others, from stainless to pewter, zinc, and brass. Here, a few of our key copper cravings.
