Look We Love: Copper in the Bathroom

Copper, the metal of the moment, has finally made its way to the bathroom, and the results are lovely. Take a look at these spaces where copper fixtures and sinks —and even exposed pipes—add just the right amount of shine, and maybe get a little inspiration for your own bathroom.

This bathroom, from Design Stuff on Instagram, takes it to the next level with copper sinks. The combination of polished copper and matte black here is an interesting mix.

This space from McLaren.Excell uses materials in such an interesting way. I love the contrast between the rough brick and the smooth subway tile, and the luxe marble and the exposed copper piping. The overall effect is of a space that’s not luxurious or industrial, but occupies some pleasant place in between.
