Top Five Copper DIYs

The copper trend is one that has taken the interior design world by storm and it’s one that we at Coggles can definitely get on board with. Copper is simple, rustic and industrial, making it a great addition to any home - especially since the surge in popularity of minimalist, Scandi-chic interiors.

We’ve been looking at ways we can incorporate it into our own homes, and have come up with our top 5 DIYs; an inexpensive and creative way to bring this trend to life.
