modern copper {colour commentary}

More cool toned, rosy and clear “modern gold”.

Copper has really jumped into the 2013 spotlight. Unlike the very orange or brown copper of years gone by, this “modern copper” is more cool toned and clear in colour (also inspired by the popularity of rose gold). Streamlined shapes, cutting edge applications and more matte/hammered finishes are also making copper of any shade feel more modern. In my latest post for Rena Tom, I discuss this shift and the many trends and possibilities it has created. Mixed with other colours and materials, exposed piping, used in print – the article is rather plump with inspiration. I have always liked copper but I am officially in love with modern copper. Read my post here if you fancy…

hi chloé, it’s been a while since i visited i’m afraid! but i can see that’s my loss, as you are still doing such an amazing job at creating one of the most inspiring places on the web. congrats on turning 2, by the way.

i agree with you on the modern copper/rose gold vibe, i am so digging it. in fact, it’s even becoming one of the hues in the color scheme for my wedding later this year :) so it was fun reading your articles about it and getting inspired for that, thanks!
