Poised as the metal of the moment, copper is certainly hitting its stride in the home. The stylish metallic accent delivers a touch of high society without the garishness, adding rich depth with touches of the traditionally tawny hue through to rose gold. For those wanting to achieve a modern take on things, opt for slick and polished varieties. Alternatively, mix it up with a more subtle touch of metallic patina that will bring timeless character to your interior.
