Copper Backsplash & Relief Art for Haciendas
The hacienda is the most generous domestic architecture of the American Southwest and Mexico — the thick adobe walls, the long covered portal, the central courtyard, the outdoor kitchen, and the interior that was built around the land it sits on and the family that works it. Copper has been part of the hacienda tradition since the colonial period — the copper pot above the fire, the copper basin in the courtyard, the warm metal that the hacienda craftsman worked by hand for the household it served. A Natuross copper relief panel in a hacienda is not a Southwestern accent. It is the material that has always been here.
Natuross makes hand-hammered copper relief panels for every surface in the hacienda — kitchen walls, range hoods, outdoor kitchen backsplashes, portal walls, courtyard surfaces, fireplace surrounds, bathroom panels, garden walls, gate 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 Hacienda Kitchen
The full-wall copper relief panel behind the range — counter to cabinet, wall to wall — in a hacienda botanical composition: the agave, the prickly pear, the chili pepper, the sunflower, the desert wildflower at the scale of the entire kitchen wall. A kitchen island panel in the same finish coordinates the kitchen as a single copper interior. A range hood surround in the same design completes the set — the warm metal surface beside the Talavera tile, the terracotta floor, and the hand-painted cabinetry. Browse the copper backsplash collection and the Kitchen page.
The Outdoor Kitchen & Portal
The outdoor kitchen backsplash in the same design and finish as the indoor kitchen — the copper material language carried from inside to outside along the portal. A portal feature wall panel in an agave or desert botanical composition at the full length of the covered outdoor space. The hacienda portal is the most hacienda-specific Natuross outdoor installation — the long covered walkway that connects the interior rooms to the courtyard, the outdoor kitchen, and the land beyond. See the Outdoor Kitchen and Veranda pages for more.
The Courtyard
A courtyard feature wall panel in a desert botanical or geometric composition — the agave, the prickly pear, the Southwestern geometric — on the adobe wall the courtyard faces. A fountain surround panel in a Talavera-inspired geometric composition. A courtyard fireplace surround. The hacienda courtyard is the outdoor room the home is organized around — and the copper relief panel on the courtyard wall is the surface that makes it feel as considered as the interior. See the Courtyard and Outdoor Fireplace pages for more.
The Fireplace & Sala
A desert botanical or Southwestern geometric surround in raised copper relief around the kiva or adobe firebox — the agave, the chili pepper, the Southwestern star — in the sala fireplace that the hacienda evening is organized around. A fireback panel inside the firebox. A mantel panel above. See the Living Room page for more.
The Bathroom
A full vanity backsplash in an agave or desert botanical composition — the warm copper relief surface beside the Talavera tile and the hand-hammered copper basin. A feature wall panel behind the freestanding bath. See the Bathroom page for more.
Garden & Boundary Walls
A garden boundary wall panel in a desert botanical or geometric composition. A gate panel with the hacienda name or an agave design. An entrance gate panel. Copper with protective lacquer holds its finish outdoors for years. See the Garden Wall, Garden Gate, and Entrance Gate pages for more.
Hacienda Signs & Plaques
The hacienda name above the entrance gate. A family name plaque. A founding year. 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 hacienda-authentic finish — the warm, honest metal that belongs beside adobe, terracotta, and the Southwestern landscape. Brown Copper adds the aged warmth of a surface that has lived on the hacienda for generations — the copper that has darkened the way the adobe has darkened, slowly and in the sun. Fire Copper suits hacienda fireplaces and outdoor courtyard fireplaces with the most dramatic, open-fire character. Antique Gold suits haciendas with a more formal sala or dining room character.

"The agave backsplash in Natural Copper behind the indoor range, the same design on the outdoor kitchen wall along the portal, and the courtyard fountain surround in the same finish. Our hacienda outside Tucson has been in the family since 1934. The copper looks as if it arrived with the adobe. Our neighbors — whose family has been in the valley since before the hacienda was built — said it was the most honest material they had seen added to a Southwestern home in fifty years." — Natuross customer
For Interior Designers & Architects
Hacienda projects are defined by the relationship between the indoor and outdoor rooms — the portal, the courtyard, the outdoor kitchen, and the garden all as important as the sala and the kitchen inside. The copper specification must carry from the indoor range through the portal to the courtyard fountain without losing warmth or coherence. Send a floor plan, 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.
