Color covers – copper color, in English – is a trend in interior design that, it seems, is here to stay! The success of copper in the decoration is so great that it came to overthrow the place that gold ensured for a long time.
The copper color has an orange-pink hue, coming close to the aged gold.
Copper fills environments of elegance, movement and depth, ensuring style and refinement to any space in the house, whether in the bathroom, kitchen, living room or bedrooms. Color also has an incredible power to bring warmth and coziness to spaces, blending contemporary style with vintage.
The color can be applied to kitchen utensils, furniture, coverings, lamps and even fabrics, such as rugs, sheets and pillows.
How to use copper color in decoration
The copper color is able to change the look of the home environments without falling into exaggeration. Copper combines very well with wooden objects – especially in the lightest shades – marble, plants and glass.
The great tip to get the copper right in the decoration is to make it stand out, in this way it reveals all its beauty without conflicting with other colors or textures. The best pieces to receive copper are pendants, vases, small decorative objects, chandeliers, bowls, stools, as well as coverings such as tablets.
Stainless steel pieces also look great in copper, like taps, sink basins, showers and even counters. In wooden pieces, copper is the perfect combination. The union of the two materials gives the space a warm and modern feel.
Another good bet is coffee tables and side tables in copper. When the copper color is inserted in these pieces, which are basic elements of well-decorated and contemporary environments, the decoration gains that lively and modern touch, full of brightness and receptivity.
Colors that match copper
Like all metallic tones, copper needs to be used with care in decoration. So the tip is to use it in light “brushstrokes”, in pieces that really deserve your company.
But, with what colors does copper match? As copper is a warmer and more striking color, the ideal is to use it together with neutral colors, where its emphasis will be greater. More sober tones welcome copper to give life and movement to furniture and objects. When used in shades of pink, copper guarantees a subtle, elegant and delicate touch to the decoration of the environment.
Despite being an earthy tone, copper combines a lot with pastels, with white, gray, blue, pink and yellow. Within the favorite copper palette are the shades of beige and brown. Other metallic colors like gold and silver also harmonize well with copper. The combination of tones ensures a bright, luxurious and lively environment.
We can also count on a diversity of copper color for different pieces and environments, such as copper rose color, corten copper – more pulled to brown – aged copper, copper – which pulls well to rust – and matte copper.
Taking the copper inside the house
If you are thinking of adapting some furniture and items that you already have at home, the Suvinil and Coral brands, for example, already offer spray paints in the copper and copper rose tones. Copper spray paints can be used on pieces of mdf, wood, iron and other metals.
You can also make your own paint covers to apply to your furniture and pieces. See the step by step:
- Pour 120 ml of black ink into a container;
- After that, dilute the black ink in 30 ml of water at room temperature;
- Add 1/4 tablespoon of powdered bronze pigment – you find it in construction houses and paint shops;
- Mix well to prevent the ink from becoming lumpy;
- After mixing, the paint can be stored in a plastic jar with a lid.
