What are Ways and Ideas to decorate with copper?
The first idea is to add a copper pendant light over your dining table or kitchen island. It will create an impressive ambiance that’s perfect for parties, family dinners or simply enjoying dinner by yourself every once in awhile. You could also hang it from above as part of an ambient lighting scheme; these lights look especially beautiful at night when they’re switched off so you get just a little bit of moonlight shining through them (they still provide plenty of illumination). A copper pendant light can really help you create a cozy dining space.
For another idea, why not decorate your fireplace mantle with copper accents? Copper vases and bowls look especially beautiful next to an old-fashioned wood fire, but these pieces will also work well in other areas of the home – for example on a sideboard or as part of a display.
