5 Copper Mesh Kitchen Cabinet Insert Ideas and Styles

Three copper containers sit on a grey marble kitchen countertop below wood shelving.

When it comes to copper wire mesh for cabinets, you'd be surprised by how many different types and styles there are. Beyond mesh with various weave patterns and opening sizes, the material and color of your cabinetry make a big difference in the finished appearance of your kitchen.

The following ideas can help get your creative wheels turning.

1. White and Copper Contrast

The rich auburn tone of copper is the perfect complement to white. This kitchen incorporates the metal with mesh inserts on just a few cabinets, then reflects the color with a copper faucet, cabinet knobs, and drawer pulls.

  1. Flat-Woven Mesh with Dark Wood

Flat-woven metal mesh with very small openings offers more of an opaque look while still allowing some light to pass through. These cabinet doors feature traditional wood frames with an off-black stain to complement the copper alloy façade.

3. Industrial-Inspired Honeycomb Copper

Three contemporary copper light fixtures hang from the ceiling of a modern kitchen.

If you appreciate industrial-modern home decor, this design’s for you. These statement kitchen cabinets feature all-metal frames, while honeycomb copper inserts add texture and interest.

4. Double-Diagonal Weave Inserts

The double-diagonal weave of these copper cabinet inserts has a subtle plaid-inspired appearance that makes a statement without overwhelming the room. Any square-weave mesh can be attached at a diagonal angle to create this effect.

5. Warm Wood Colors for a Rustic Effect

The warm undertones in many natural wood finishes can bring out the reddish hue of copper, like in this rustic kitchen design. We love the library-style ladder, too!
