Bask in the Glow of a Copper Fireplace
Double the warmth of your hearth with this metal's beautiful patina
When you think of copper, a humble penny often comes to mind. But copper en masse — shiny and metallic or with a warm patina — is anything but humble.
Copper fireplace surrounds, for example, command attention as strong surfaces, yet fit into any style of decor due to their natural, earthy characteristics. Copper's malleable qualities allow it to be cut into panels, hammered, strapped or riveted — the possibilities are nearly endless. In any chosen form, its beauty is undeniably flawless and timeless.

In addition to the hearty wood table, the warm metallic hue of the copper fireplace heats up a cozy dining nook. Its reflective quality also adds touch of polish without being too dainty.
