The trend for metal tones of copper, bronze and rose gold in the kitchen shows no sign of abating. Whether you want to dip your toe into the trend with a few key touches or make a bold impact with a shiny splashback or breakfast bar, discover our favourite creative ways to style metallic colours in the kitchen.
Open Shelving

One of the simplest ways to inject a bit of precious metal in the kitchen is to put up some open shelves and let the pots and pans do the decorating for you! Place the shiniest pots in prime positions and then style around them with a mix of complimentary copper cups and crockery.
Hanging Pots

If your kitchen doesn’t allow for open shelving a modern alternative is to hang pots directly on the wall instead. Use a copper pipe to keep everything matching.

Taps are having a moment with some of our favourite brands releasing ranges in eye-catching colours. (Check them out here.) Billi taps come in Rose Gold and Gold and not only do they look fantastic but they pour boiling, chilled and sparkling water too!
Tiles and Splashbacks

If you’re really committed to a metallic kitchen then make a big impact with shiny splashback tiling. It’s a bold move to invest in a trendy tile so make sure you feel confident that you’ll still love the look in years to come.
Cupboard Handles

Much less of a commitment than metallic tiles or cabinetry are shiny gold handles; remember sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest difference! Inject flashes of copper and gold by changing the handles and nobs on old cabinetry, giving them a whole new lease of life relatively easily and cheaply.
Pendant Lighting

Woven pendants work well in coastal chic kitchens whilst rose gold and copper pendants look great in industrial and minimal rooms. We love how this kitchen coordinated the stools too.
Breakfast Bar

Finally, we had to feature this fancy way to add a touch of copper in the kitchen. This one feature leg on the breakfast bar totally elevates the whole room. A bold move that totally paid off in this kitchen!
