Guest Picks: Copper Craze

Copper is popping up more and more these days, and I think it is the inevitable replacement to all of the gold that has been everywhere lately. A great addition to any home, this metal has a finish that adds shine and a reddish-orange hue that adds warmth. I personally love how the smooth brushed finishes give my turn-of-the-century home a modern touch, but the hammered finishes are great for bringing in texture. What's your favorite take on this trend? — Erin from House of Earnest

Copper Disk Pendant Lamp - $475 This copper pendant isn't too rustic or glam; it's just perfectly middle-of-the-road minimalist, which is what I like for a home that includes a mix of styles.


Orb Copper Shaker - $21.95 Mix up some stylish cocktails in this minimalist, modern shaker.


Hand-Hammered Copper Bathtub - $7,499 It might be ridiculously expensive, but this gorgeous copper bathtub holds a special place in my heart. I can't stand how beautiful it is!


Copper Hobnail Mercury Glass Hurricane Candleholders - $14.99 Silver mercury glass has been really popular for a few years now, but the copper hobnail design of these candleholders is a nice change, and they would create the prettiest glow.


Hammered Copper Bucket - $34.99 This bucket would be just as pretty filled with firewood as with pumpkins or pinecones. I love the warmth and texture that hammered copper brings to decor this time of year.


Copper Addie Wall Frames I've always loved the look of copper details with slight hints of green oxidation on home exteriors. Since getting that look isn't in the works for me, these frames would be a lovely alternative. They have a beautiful patina; I'd throw them on a gallery wall with other neutral frames for a pretty pop.


Wrap Copper Napkin Ring - $3.95 Wrap a little bit of this rosy metal around dark plum napkins for the perfect holiday color combo.


Moscow Mule Copper Mug - $9 Moscow Mules are my favorite drinks in the summertime, but these copper mugs are too pretty to bring out just in the warmer months. A little hot cocoa in this shiny vessel would be beautiful.


Copper Salt Mill - $29.95 Going copper crazy this holiday? Keep the style flowing throughout all facets of your table decor with this salt mill.


Copper Pepper Mill - $29.95 You can't have one without the other!


Polished Copper Tray, Circle - $14 Make a tray statement: Fill one with nuts, another with glasses of your signature drink and the largest with the main dish. Entertaining is best when the same elements are carried throughout the event.


Old Dutch Solid Copper Footed Colander/Centerpiece - $85.99 You'll want to leave the fruits you just washed out on the counter when they're in something as beautiful as this copper colander.


Copper Snowflake Lantern - $38 How gorgeous would this star lantern be for the holidays? I would hang a set of three at different heights above my Christmas tree.


Book Stopper, Copper - CAD 60 These bookends are superminimalist, yet they would add just the right amount of shine to a bookshelf. If you're short on space but don't want to sacrifice style, these are for you.


Patina Oil Lamp - CAD 160 Old meets new in these copper oil lamps. I imagine a beautiful mantel presentation with these in alternating sizes. Or just a few of the smaller ones down the middle of a long table would be so romantic and warm looking.


Copper Pencil Holder - $155 If your desk is the first thing to make an impression on your clients, maybe something glimmering — that has tons of organizational potential — is just what you need.


Crane Grater - $40 This hand-crafted grater is almost too beautiful to use — almost! And all that handmade technique for just $40? This is both pretty and affordable.


Copper Kettle - $169.98 This teakettle has a high price tag, but if you're looking for a statement piece to grace your stovetop for the long haul, look no farther.


Marais AC Chair, Antique Copper - $155 Copper doesn't have to be all bling to be beautiful. This antiqued copper chair would be perfect with a sleek white dining room table, and I imagine it would age beautifully as well.


Cheval Stool, Antique Copper - $135 I want about 10 of these stools to use around my big farmhouse table for outdoor events. But I might just have to settle for a pair to get started.
