The best copper tabletop won’t look right if you aren’t happy with the base that goes with it. Copper tabletops offer a vibrant and exciting style to any dining room and have the unique capacity to change patina over time slowly. This natural weathering occurs whether your table is inside or outside.
There are different things to consider when it comes to your copper table base. We’ll help you choose the right one to complement your copper table and become a wonderful and attractive feature in your home.
Types of copper tables
Choosing the right base for your copper table can depend on the type of copper table you want. There are different styles to consider, and each one has its own properties and suitability for different uses.
At CopperSmith, we offer a wide range of choices in copper tabletops, depending on:
- Shape: We create round, square , and rectangular tabletops, suitable for any shape of the dining area or outdoor space.
- Size: For every shape of a table we offer dozens of different sizes, meaning there’s a copper table that suits your home.
- Patina: Our copper patinas range from light and polished to deep and dark finishes, depending on your style preference.
We suggest you look at our beautiful copper tabletops and get an idea of the one that suits you best. Are you looking for a table for a new home and are yet to install your decor, or are you replacing an existing table and looking for one that fits into your current decor? From there, you can start considering the type of base you’d like.
The different types of copper table bases
When it comes to choosing the base for your copper table, there are several options available. Your choice of base will depend on whether you want something simple and classic, or you want to make your table more of a statement piece for your home. What’s great about choosing your own table base is that you get a table that is unique and personal to you, helping you find the best match for your space.
Several popular models of bases complement copper tabletops:
Simple
Many customers like their copper tabletop to be a focal point in their dining space and chose a clean, simple design and finished for their table base. A white or neutral base won’t distract from the copper patina and can create a floating look.
Dramatic
Adding a highly styled table base is another way to create an exciting dining experience. Modern shapes and designs and vivid colors like red or blue can go a long way to adding a touch of excitement to your new copper tabletop.
Classic
Natural materials like stone, concrete, and wood can create a beautiful, traditional style that works perfectly with a copper tabletop. Choose a form like a central pedestal base for a round shape table top or a solid wood trestle-type base for a rectangular table.
How to choose your copper table base
Some of the things to consider when choosing your copper table base include:
Think about your space
A copper table can be an attractive addition to any home. When choosing a space, you’ll need to think about the style of your home and what sort of base can complement it. A neutral style may be more fitting for a more traditional home, while a bold color can look stylish in a more modern home. Exploring different style inspirations can help you work out what you want and the type of table styles that will look best in your home.
Choose a style that’s easy to maintain
Copper tables are very durable, and can retain their look for several years if they’re maintained properly. Choosing a table base that is also easy to maintain can keep your table looking its best. Research different base materials and the products needed to maintain your table without damaging it.
Consider the rest of your decor
The rest of your decor can influence the base you choose for your table. There are many ways to decorate with copper and you may decide you want your table to stand out against everything else, or complement it. You may find that a table made of the same material as the rest of your furniture is a better fit for your space.
Do you prefer sustainable products?
Copper is a natural material, which can make it an excellent choice for a more sustainable home, especially if you choose a table made from recycled copper. If you want to use copper sustainably in your home, explore table bases that are also made from sustainable materials for a more eco-friendly home.
Choose a table base that fits your budget
Budget is another important consideration for choosing your table space. Some table bases, such as marble, come with a higher price point, while synthetic materials may be more affordable. Consider the cost in relation to the overall cost of the table to help you decide on a base you feel comfortable with.
In the end, your choice in base comes down to how you want to showcase your copper tabletop. Complement or contrast according to your tastes, and choose chairs that suit the overall look. This is what makes selecting a copper tabletop from CopperSmith so much fun. You don’t have to choose from standard catalog pairings.
