There's nothing like copper pots hanging on a brick wall. It feels instantly rustic, elegant, and inviting, signaling to the brain that you are about to enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal in a beautifully designed environment. It's always been this way – and archival photographs of Bette Davis' kitchen from the '60s show it will always be this way.
Although the picture was taken 66 years ago, a glimpse into the actress's country kitchen feels just as homey in 2026. Her brick-lined New Hampshire stove is surrounded by antique copper cookware, mounted carefully to the walls. Wooden accents bring in even more rustic charm. It's a masterclass in how this form of vertical storage doubles as an art form, creating a low-key luxe, European charm in any space.
