Interior Design Trend We Love: All Things Copper – Castle Homes featured in StyleBlueprint Fall 2022
Castle Homes weighs in on the “hot” building and decorating trend that actually dates back 5,000 years with StyleBlueprint.
“If there’s a metal that feels tailor-made for fall, it’s copper. It brings out autumn hues like burnt umber and goldenrod, and it offers a stunning patina that lends warmth to any space — whether through pendant lighting, mosaic tile, or appliance embellishments.
Calling copper a “new” trend may be a bit of a stretch. The oldest metal in human history (it was used over 10,000 years ago!), copper was the sole metal known to man for nearly 5,000 years until gold and silver came along, so it has seen its fair share of use over the years.
Exterior Embellishments
While copper may be more prevalent in interior design, the long-lasting metal is equally beneficial for home exteriors — often surfacing as a corrugated copper roof or decorative dormer. “It’s definitely the style; people love that look,” says Castle Homes owner and architect Alan Looney. “Sometimes we do an alternative product that looks like an aged copper or bronzed look, but when it turns, it looks almost black; it’s very dark. So, we’re using copper more and more. People are willing to spend the money for it — especially when you’re talking about a higher-end home. It ages well and looks authentic.”
