Copper Relief Art & Panels for Converted Barns
The converted barn is the home that kept everything that mattered — the original timber frame, the hayloft that became the mezzanine, the barn doors that became the entrance, the gambrel roof that became the vaulted ceiling, and the working building that became the most considered home on the property. The barn conversion is the most honest residential project in American architecture — the building that was built to last, that did last, and that was finally given the interior it always deserved. A hand-hammered copper relief panel in a converted barn — the rooster behind the range, the horse on the mezzanine feature wall, the botanical on the fireplace surround — is the warm, handmade surface that honors the working character of the building while making it completely a home. The material that belongs beside the original timber the way the original timber belongs beside the stone foundation.
Natuross makes hand-hammered copper relief panels for every surface in the converted barn — kitchen walls, range hoods, mezzanine feature walls, fireplace surrounds, barn door surrounds, bathroom surfaces, exterior panels, and more. Made to your exact dimensions. Suitable for indoor and outdoor spaces, wet areas, and high-heat environments. Ready to install, easy to clean, and built to last. Over 10,000 pieces installed in homes across the US.
The Kitchen
The full-wall copper relief panel behind the range — counter to cabinet, wall to wall — in a farmyard botanical composition: the rooster, the horse, the barn swallow, the wheat sheaf, the wildflower at the scale of the entire kitchen wall. A range hood surround in the same design. A kitchen island panel in the same finish. In a converted barn, the kitchen wall is visible from the mezzanine above and the open-plan living space below — making it the most important surface in the home. Browse the copper backsplash collection and the Kitchen page.
The Mezzanine Feature Wall
The mezzanine feature wall is the most converted barn-specific Natuross installation — the large-format copper relief panel on the upper level wall, visible from the open-plan below, at the full height of the barn interior. A horse or botanical composition at the scale the vaulted ceiling demands. A barn swallow in flight. A wheat sheaf arrangement at the full width of the mezzanine wall. The mezzanine feature wall is the surface that makes the converted barn feel as considered as the timber frame it belongs to. See the Loft page for more.
The Fireplace
A farmyard botanical or wildlife surround in raised copper relief around the firebox — the rooster, the horse, the barn swallow — in the fireplace that the converted barn open plan is organized around. A fireback panel inside the firebox. A mantel panel above. See the Living Room page for more.
The Barn Door Surround & Exterior
A copper relief panel set into the barn door surround — the farmyard botanical or geometric composition in the architectural frame of the original barn entrance. An exterior feature wall panel on the original timber or board-and-batten facade. A courtyard feature wall panel. Copper with protective lacquer holds its finish outdoors for years. See the Exterior Feature Wall and Courtyard pages for more.
The Bathroom
A full vanity backsplash in a farmyard botanical composition — the barn swallow or wildflower in raised copper relief beside the stone basin and the original timber. A feature wall panel behind the soaking tub. See the Bathroom page for more.
Converted Barn Signs & Plaques
The barn name beside the entrance. A family name plaque. A founding year — the year the barn was built, the year it was converted, or both. A property name panel. Every sign made with any text, any font, any finish. See all sign types on the Copper Signs & Plaques page.

Finishes
Natural Copper is the most converted barn-authentic finish — the warm, honest metal that belongs beside original timber, board-and-batten, and the working character of the building. It is the material that looks as if it has always been part of the barn — warm, handmade, and completely without pretense. Brown Copper adds the aged warmth of a surface that has been in the barn since before the conversion — the copper that has darkened the way the timber has darkened, slowly and in the weather. Black Copper suits converted barns with a more dramatic, contemporary interior — the dark metal beside the original timber and the steel mezzanine. Antique Gold suits converted barns with a more formal dining room or library character. Browse all 15 finishes.

"The rooster backsplash in Natural Copper behind the range — visible from the mezzanine above and the living space below — and the horse panel on the mezzanine feature wall in the same finish. Our barn was built in 1887 in Vermont. It stored hay for sixty years, then stood empty for forty. We converted it in 2021. The timber frame is original. The copper looks as if it is too. Our neighbors — whose family built the barn — came to see it when it was finished. They said: it looks right. In Vermont, that is all anyone ever says when something is exactly correct." — Natuross customer
For Interior Designers & Architects
Converted barn projects are defined by the original timber frame — the copper specification must honor the working character of the building while making the converted interior feel completely resolved. The mezzanine scale, the open plan, the barn door surround, and the exterior facade all require a copper specification that belongs to the building rather than being applied to it. Send measured drawings, site photos, or a mood board. You’ll receive a complete design proposal with drawings and project pricing for every surface. Direct communication with the craftsman throughout.
