What to look for when choosing Copper kitchen lights?

Copper is a material that compliments both contemporary and traditional-style interiors, making it a popular choice for many homes. This style of lighting is a great way to add alternative material and texture to your living spaces, especially kitchens.

Copper pendant lights can be used in a multitude of ways within the kitchen area. An increasingly popular variation is to include pendants in a row of three, evenly spaced over the island or peninsula. Alternatively, a cluster chandelier formation is a great idea if you only have one electrical feed and require more light, or if you are looking to create a show stopping feature piece.

Discover our selection of handmade copper kitchen lights below, and find the fittings that will look best alongside your interior or the space you have to light.

Gorsley copper ceiling light

The Gorsley copper pendant light has been designed and made exclusively for Fritz Fryer by a local artisan blacksmith. Two sheets of copper are moulded and worked to create a delicate rose shaped light shade. The industrial look of the Gorsley fits seamlessly into a traditional home, while acting more as a stand-out, juxtaposing accessory in a modern-style kitchen. Install in a row over the kitchen island for a modern style with a little nod to chic, or to a period kitchen for a beautiful talking point.

GORSLEY COPPER CLUSTER CHANDELIER

Do you love the idea of a feature piece above the kitchen island or table but only have access to singular electrical point? A cluster chandelier is the perfect solution. The Gorsley copper cluster chandelier brings three individual pendants together to create an almost bouquet-like look. This gentle merging of solid sheet copper shades results in something almost contradictory to its base material – elegance.

Installed above a kitchen island, this chandelier makes a great focal point and most importantly allows for more light, which is great when additional lighting is required. Similarly, above a dining table, when installed with dimmable bulbs, it can be ambient dinner party lighting which can be lowered as the night continues.

Warm, cosy kitchen vibes are mirrored within the delectable polished copper colour. From rustic farmhouse to modern home, complete your look with the Moccas pendant light. Available in a small or large size, these pendants are fantastic as a standalone light or in a row of three within the kitchen.
