What a great idea!  I also love copper colored anything.  For a brief moment even contemplated buying the copper KA stand mixer - to the tune of nearly $600!  

Found this stove with a google search (I'm sure you've done that too), but the price of this one is over $7000!  Yowza!  

When laying out the kitchen in our new home, I opted for the best appliances for our needs that our budget would allow in black and have added copper accents - pots, colanders, flatware, mugs.  I knew I would love the copper, but thought it might just be overpowering.  Also a really PIA to keep clean!  There's SO much available in copper these days.  I even got a toaster!  When the toaster goes, no big deal, if something went wrong with my expensive copper stove, I'd cry a river.

Good luck with your remodel and have fun!

My ODC is really kicking in looking at this photo.  That 3rd knob from the left is dropped down.  I wonder why?  That would really bother me!!!

That's the oven knob.  They are often lower on this type of range.

Thrilled and relieved to learn that the copper finish on the $7,000 stove is "infused"🤔

I was the top Interior Design teacher in the state.  I would really suggest that you think this over.  All appliances in that color is going to be quite visually aggresive (loud).  When things are that aggressive, we tire of them quickly.

Then there is the matter of redoing appliances.  Are you going to redo all of them when one  has to be changed?  With an unusual color your options are extremely small, as well it is very difficult to sell a residence with items that are unusual in this way.  Add to the color problems, service problems.  If the items are an unusual brand, parts may have to be ordered as well as not having a certified service tech in the area.  That means you will have to wait extra days while you possibly do without a refrigerator.  No one wants the old pink tile bathrooms (or very few do because, of course, "there's always one".

The kitchen will look much larger with light counter tops and light appliances.

You might paper the wall behind your kitchen table and put color in the kitchen that way.  You can also use canisters, a valence over the kitchen window, placemats and wall hangings.

Best of luck!

Thank you for your insight.  I am concerned with making a mistake.  You brought up some points I hadn't considered.  I may just focus on the sink.  I think I will have my hands full with just that!

I like and have stainless. I do like the look of copper though... Probably depends on the kitchen - cabinet color, countertop, floor and lighting. I think the copper tends to be a bit more traditional vs stainless being more modern. The copper overall is a warmer tone than the stainless.

Gosh that is really a lovely color. I don't like stainless but don't want black  either. White and bisque are boring but thats what I have right now. I would LOVE that champagne gold color that my new vitamix is for appliances. Am in the process of getting new appliances after 20 years. Just replaced my wash/dryer in white---borrring-- but who see them except me. Hopefully the others won't go on strike and gonk out all at once.

My mom had copper and my MIL had avocado!  Great things happened in both those kitchens!!!  What's old is new again

Here's what they call a Chambers stove.  I don't know whether that's a product name or how much it is.  To me, the ideal stove is a modified Victorian reproduction or other antique reproduction stove that is not historically accurate.  One that is exactly like the original would in many cases not look right in today's home.  A more updated one with a Victorian feel or a reproduction that was simpler might be better.

Here's the picture:  The copper is not paint.

I like the color of this, although I think a burnished copper might be even better.  That's why I said having all appliances in copper might be too much.  A wood floor that picks up on the copper color of the stove would be very nice, as would other bits of wood around the room in similar colors.  That would scatter the coppery brown around the room, often in small doses, without overwhelming it with all those copper appliances.
