Copper

7 years ago

Hi
The copper looks fab. I have copper in my kitchen as a splash back but it marks very easily from the water and isn't coated. Do you have any recommendations on how to clean it?
Thanks

To clean copper I would recommend:

Simply adding salt to a halved lemon and scrub the surface with the lemon works to get the copper back to its natural state, but copper really wants to age the longer you leave it the nicer the patina. We apply a wax finish to our metal work or if it is near an area where there is water a lacquered finish can be applied in a matt or gloss finish.

I hope this helps.

Hello nicnoll, Another idea could be to have a wall light that is all about the bulb! A few links to both ideas.... Copper is good too... Guessing you can have them pointing up or down for ones that don't have a moving hinge.. http://www.oldschoolelectric.com/vintage-light-bulbs/ http://www.industville.co.uk/collections/wall-sconce-bar-restaurant-lamps/products/vintage-barn-angled-brass-wall-lamp A ceiling light.. http://www.industville.co.uk/collections/ceiling-lights-lampshades/products/brooklyn-vintage-brass-cone-lampshade OR.. One other idea... have a rose with multi flex wires... centralised where the current one is.. Then choosing cable/flex and lengths.. run them along to where you want.. either along ceiling.. in loops with hooks to loop round and fix position, so then excess becomes a drop pendant to add something lovely.... Or you run them in loops across the ceiling to the opposite wall and have a wall light fitting but the electric cable comes from the one ceiling point. So less to do wiring wise.. Plus this makes for a very interesting bespoke installation.. with coloured flex cable running in loops along the hallway.. . : )) http://www.urbancottageindustries.com/historic-lighting/ceiling-roses/multiple-outlet-ceiling-roses/ceiling-rose-multiple-cable-flex-outlet-vintage-brass http://www.urbancottageindustries.com/historic-lighting/fabric-cable/twisted-lighting-flex/copper-fabric-lighting-flex-cable-twist

White for sure , and yes you could add a stripe of a colored glass tile mosaic I would just make it one color. But IMO the best is just white and then add the color with accent pieces like in this pic
