Using copper in your home
Copper needs restraint because it carries visible heat. Use it for a powder room, dining room, island, door, or fireplace wall with cream, charcoal, deep teal, olive, or walnut. South light can push it toward orange. North light makes it more earthen. Do not stack it with too many metallic warm finishes. A copper wall beside brass lights and orange oak can feel noisy instead of grounded.
