You need not be a mountaineer or live on a secluded lakeside college to admire the comfortable and homey feel of a rustic interior. Rustic is honest, picturesque, even unrefined (but in a pleasant sort of way), and provides an attractive style for anyone’s home.
If you want to give your home a rustic look, considering hammered copper sinks for your kitchen and bath is one way to quickly fulfill your desire. Copper is classic, but often forgotten as a stunning design option. It’s been used for ages and deserves it’s rightful place with the porcelains and stainless steel sinks so common today.

Unlike stainless steel, porcelain, or even granite (which enjoys popularity but tends to look cold), copper provides a relaxing, even cozy feel, perfect for use in the kitchen or the bath. Hammered copper sinks blend with the rustic touches of salvaged wood beams, brick oven fireplaces, and cast iron skillets, but they’re equally as stunning mixed with an eclectic rustic interior with iron bar stools and concrete countertops.

Copper’s rich, warm color adds to it’s appeal. As rustic colored interiors are typically bathed in greens, browns, reds and other shades of nature. A kitchen or bath that incorporates copper simply takes it to the next level.

A large rustic kitchen needs a farmhouse sink to take on sizable cooking and cleanups jobs; a hammered copper style will handle them with ease while looking good for years to come. Add a copper backsplash and apron to your sink, and you’ve got an impressive focal point for your rustic kitchen.
A hammered copper sink in the bath is equally striking. For the feel old times, hammered copper drum sinks have flat bottoms and resemble the washbasins of years gone by. For a more modern, but still rustic look, consider hand-hammered drop-in or vessel style sinks that highlight the rich tones of copper’s natural beauty.
