Four reasons to choose copper for your next reno
For centuries, copper has held a special place in architecture and design. From the rooftops of ancient temples to the interiors of Victorian homes, this noble metal has been celebrated not just for its beauty, but for its durability. Its legacy goes beyond continents and cultures, making it one of the oldest and most respected materials in human craftsmanship.
Nowadays, our copper wall panels continue the legacy by bringing warmth, elegance and authenticity to vintage homes, modern houses or cosy cafés. Copper is a great feature to your home, here’s why:
- Natural patina
One cool thing about copper is its natural ability to develop a patina. This is a thin layer that forms on the surface as the metal reacts with the air, moisture and environmental elements. This process begins with copper turning a rich, deeper brown and over time it can change to shades of green/blue. This transformation isn’t a flaw, it’s a feature. It adds character and depth that is unique, it tells the story of your place.
Although, if you prefer copper’s original look, we also have a lacquered option that won’t patina over time.
- Copper is built to last
Not only is copper beautiful, it’s also incredibly strong and long-lasting. It naturally resists rust, even in challenging and humid places like kitchens and bathrooms. And history proves it, many buildings still feature original copper elements that have withstood the time. One example is the Statue of Liberty. When it was first unveiled in 1886, it had a shiny brown surface, before developing its iconic patina. Another example even older is St Peter’s Basilica in Vatican, Rome. The dome features copper covering that dates back from its construction in the 16th century.
- A visual and financial upgrade
Copper isn’t just a great design choice, it’s also a smart investment. The use of copper in interiors shows quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail. It can significantly enhance the perceived value of your property.
- Always in style
Unlike trends that come and go, copper has remained a design staple for centuries. It pairs effortlessly with a range of styles:
- In a Victorian-style room, copper enhances the detailed atmosphere
- In industrial spaces, it pairs beautifully with raw concrete, brick and steel
- For rustic interiors, it complements natural wood and aged textures
Incorporating copper in your home or commercial space is a celebration of centuries of craftsmanship, strength and beauty. Whether you’re drawn to its character, its durability or the added value it brings, copper panels are a wise investment.
