French Country kitchens are one of the most popular design styles of 2024. The timeless, romantic style welcomes antique finishes, luxe details, and rustic accents. Luckily, it takes just one beautiful accessory to tap into the look: copper pots.
If you need more convincing, Martha Stewart swears by filling her pot storage with copper pots. On her blog, Martha's team shared: 'For Martha, falling in love with classic French cuisine meant falling in love with copper cookware. Years—and many pots and pans—later, her passion continues. From lidded copper saucepans in many sizes to ornate bakeware and many gorgeous copper bowls, Martha's collection is on display and in regular use in the kitchen of her Bedford home.'
Photos show the pots hanging from her ceiling, lining the shelves, and stacked in rows under her kitchen island. One glance, and it's clear the look will never go out of style. 'In interior design, certain combinations effortlessly capture timeless elegance and contemporary charm. Copper, having been prominently displayed in our grandparents' kitchens, has remained a standout go-to choice for injecting personality while beautifully blending feelings of antiquity and modernity,' says Westchester-based interior designer, Nina Lichtenstein.
The 10-piece set is described as a prized possession of professional chefs as well as home cooks alike. It serves up superior performance and looks beautiful in the process.
This pan's colorway is already a talking point, but what else sets it aside? Each one has a steel induction plate for rapid, even heat distribution from edge to edge – meaning your meals cook to even perfection without hot spots.
These kitchen racks may double as kitchen wall decor, but they're also highly practical – keeping cooking supplies and other kitchen utensils where we can easily reach them.
If there's ever a time to follow Stewart's example, it's now, when this inspired cookware is enjoying large price reductions for Black Friday. The Gotham Steel hammered collection is beautiful and makes a statement in every kitchen, just as the guru intended.
If you want the authentic feel of antique crockery, these 19th century copper pots are perfect. Proof that this look can last absolutely forever.
Elegant yet practical, this piece encompasses everything we could need in a frying pan. It's beautiful enough to be a focal point on every hob, but it's lightweight, scratch-resistant, and dishwasher-safe (for when the cooking is complete).
Luckily for all, the look is a burgeoning kitchen trend. Lichtenstein tells Homes & Gardens: 'The combination of copper pots and white kitchen design is poised to become a notable interior design trend. As homeowners and designers seek to strike a balance between tradition and modernity, this pairing offers a perfect solution. The timeless appeal of copper, coupled with the enduring popularity of white, aligns with the current shift towards warm, inviting kitchen aesthetics.'
She continues, 'Additionally, this combination embodies both sophistication and understated luxury, which resonates with the growing interest in creating inviting and functional kitchen spaces. As more individuals embrace the concept of blending classic elements with contemporary design, we anticipate seeing an increase in the use of copper pots and white across kitchen renovations and interior projects.'
No matter the style of your kitchen, copper pots are a great way to upgrade it. Lichtenstein states: 'Importantly, copper complements a range of kitchen styles, from rustic farmhouse to sleek contemporary. Whether used sparingly with a few accent pieces or as a dominant theme, copper pots against white subway tiles adapt effortlessly to diverse design preferences.'
To replicate the look of Martha Stewart's kitchen, the goal should be to put copper pots in as many places as possible. Hanging from the ceiling and stacked on open shelves are great kitchen storage ideas that showcase the natural beauty of this type of cookware.
Copper pots are a reminder to lean into intentional clutter, and that the most functional items don't have to be eyesores.
