This mirrored copper splashback is a practical yet stylish addition to the kitchen. Made from toughened glass, it’s non-porous and heat-shock-resistant – perfect for protecting your wall from splashes and stains. Its reflective qualities bring light and warmth to the room, at home in both contemporary and traditional kitchens.
How to Add Copper Decor to Your Kitchen with Accessories
Distinctive yet versatile, copper suits both old and new kitchen designs, making it a hot-to-go metal. Polished to a high shine, copper’s warm amber tones suit a traditional kitchen, but left unfinished, it takes on an industrial feel that looks at home in a contemporary kitchen design.

Add a copper kitchen accent
Copper’s distinctive colouring and lustrous finish are standout features, whether that’s on a big or small scale. If you want to add a copper accent to your kitchen design without pulling focus, consider including one or two smaller accessories.
Heavy-bottomed copper pots and pans are trending in kitchen accessories. Sought after by professional chefs for its heat conductivity, copper is an ideal material for cookware. You might be used to seeing these copper pans hung up in kitchens and want to emulate this look. But whether you want to cook with them or simply display your pots and pans is up to you!
Copper kitchen taps are a subtle yet striking addition to the kitchen. The lustrous look of polished copper radiates light and warmth, contrasting with cool, hard surfaces like granite and marble. Opt for an unpolished, rustic copper tap and pair it with concrete for a modern, industrial look.
There are myriad ways to add copper accents, from light fixtures to cupboard door handles. Even your kettle and toaster are now available in a trendy shade of copper! Choose one or two accents to instantly elevate your kitchen style. It’s a wonderful way to give your room a makeover without investing in a complete remodel.

Copper colour pairings
Copper is most closely aligned with reddish-orange, ideal for pairing with blue. Orange and blue are complementary colours, meaning they are opposite each other on the colour wheel. This contrast enhances the vibrancy of both, making them stand out as a visually appealing combination.
For a harmonious feel, opt for a tonal colour closer to orange, such as baked clay, terracotta, or even cashmere. Tonal shades blend together seamlessly for a cohesive look that creates an inviting atmosphere.

Like copper, baked clay and terracotta are naturally occurring colours that pair well with exposed brick and stone to create an earthy, organic palette. You may want to consider adding other biophilic elements, such as wooden worktops, trailing plants, and access to natural light.
Final thought
Whether you choose striking elements like a copper-mirrored splashback or subtle accents like cookware and taps, the versatility of copper allows you to create a cohesive design. Embrace the timeless appeal of copper to transform your kitchen into a stunning culinary haven.
