We may see copper becoming more and more present in both kitchen and bathroom design.
While steel sinks have become too ordinary and granite quite modern, a homeowner wishing to upscale their kitchen would understandably consider a copper one.
They are high maintenance and pricey, truth be told, but read on to find out why they’re worth it!
1. Complement Your Kitchen’s Design
The shiny cabinets and the Victorian-inspired tiles of the above kitchen wouldn’t benefit from a regular, stainless steel sink.
At the same time, the gold and brass accents are perfectly complemented by the copper sink.
2. Introduce Contrast
Provide your elegant white kitchen with some edge with the help of a copper kitchen sink.
It will break the uniformity of the space and add a little bit of a rustic appeal.
3. Just the Inside
Perhaps you’re not in it for the looks? So, why else would one get a pricey copper sink that isn’t even clearly displayed in the kitchen?
Well, it just so happens that copper is naturally antimicrobial, which is amazing given all the food preparation and dishwashing that goes on in the sink.
4. Perfect In Modern Kitchens…
Don’t think copper is only good for old-fashioned designs.
It fits right at home in modern luxury kitchens just the same.
5. …As Well as Vintage
Of course, there is a special charm to a vintage kitchen with a copper sink.
6. Copper Countertop
If you like it that way, you don’t have to stop at the sink when introducing copper into the design of your kitchen.
The working surface overall benefits from the copper’s antimicrobial properties.
7. The Rustic Theme
Make the most of your rustic kitchen by swapping a regular sink for a copper one.
8. Complete the Steampunk Vibe
If you happen to be cultivating a certain style in your kitchen – especially if we’re talking steampunk or gothic – you just have to enrich your space with a copper sink.
9. Create an Ambiance In Your Blue Kitchen
Create a lovely contrast between your dark blue kitchen and warm copper hue.
The combination will enrich your kitchen with unparalleled elegance.
10. Perfect Fit for Wooden Countertops
Copper and wood, though very different materials, share a vibe so to speak.
They’re defined by their warm color and the homey effect they have on the space overall.
11. Yellowish Glow
Complete your luxury kitchen with a luxury sink.
12. Light Alternative
Your copper sink doesn’t have to be deeply brown, or even gold or orange.
You can find one in lighter color to make sure it suits your desired aesthetic.
13. In the Marble
Was there ever a more expensive kitchen combo?
Upscale your kitchen with quiet luxury contained within the quality materials such as marble and copper.
14. Accentuate With Brick
Copper works for many different design styles – vintage, rustic, and industrial being only a few of many.
To provide your space with a little industrial edge, combine your brick backdrop with a copper sink.
15. Bright Design
There are different ways to play the matching game as you design and decorate your interior.
For instance, all the objects in the above kitchen don’t match – the blue stove and the copper sink especially.
However, a few key elements within the kitchen are matched, which makes the eclectic combination work perfectly.
16. Bring Out the Cottagecore
Honestly, can you imagine any sink but the copper one in such a lovely cottagecore kitchen?
17. Even In Gray Kitchens
As I mentioned, only a few chosen elements must be perfectly matched.
Nothing stops you from upscaling your gray kitchen with a copper sink, even if you have modern utilities.
Match your sink with decor, and there you have a perfectly balanced design.
18. Perfect Rural Fit
In order to seriously uplift the design of your weekend cottage, install a copper sink.
It will fit right in with the aesthetic, and contribute to the harmony of the space.
19. A Drop of Orange
The above kitchen could work with a porcelain sink, no doubt. However, the copper one provides it with that little something that would otherwise be missing.
20. A Rounded Corner
If you wish your copper sink to stand out, have it installed in the rounded element in your kitchen.
In Conclusion
Copper sinks are available in so many different designs which vary in color, texture, and style. They’re extremely long-lasting and, as previously mentioned, antimicrobial.
The most prominent con is the fact that this natural material requires special care so it wouldn’t turn green over time.
Make sure to clean it with agents that are meant for copper and to keep it dry as often as possible.
If its beauty and antibacterial benefits outweigh the high maintenance, do invest in a copper sink.
