Perfect Pair: Plants and Copper Accents

one of the things i love so much about design is discovering those color, texture, and pattern combinations that just totally MAKE a space. for me, one of my current favorite pairings has got to be the houseplant craze teaming up with the copper craze. they were just made for each other. the soft, natural texture of the green leaves paired with shiny rose gold metal accents just works. every time.

some examples i'm obsessing over:

love love LOVE this DIY copper plant stand tutorial from Sarah Sherman Samuel:

i'm also reeeeeeally needing these gorgeous marble and rose gold pedestal tables from CB2 right now. these would look amazing with a couple pretty plants propped on top:

another incredible DIY project from little baby garvin - these would look so fantastic with a few grouped together in different heights!

A Bubbly Life's adorable 3 tiered take on the copper pipe DIY plant stand is equally amazing:

and it's really impossible to talk about plants and copper without mentioning design powerhouse and general badass Justina Blakeney, who is arguably the queen of lovely pairings like this:

everything about her kitchen remodel is just gorgeous.

and finally, i just can't get over how fabulous these concrete and copper plant stands from Camille Styles look next to that chair and kilim pillow. SO. GOOD.
