Copper Backsplash & Wall Art for Mountain Houses
The mountain house is the home that was built for the mountain — not placed on it, but designed around it. The stone foundation that belongs to the rock it sits on, the timber frame that belongs to the forest it came from, the great room fireplace that belongs to the altitude and the winter that comes with it, and the deck that faces the range at eye level rather than looking up at it. The mountain house is a serious home for a serious landscape — and the surfaces in it are chosen with the same seriousness. A hand-hammered copper relief panel — the elk behind the range, the eagle on the great room feature wall, the alpine botanical on the fireplace surround — is the warm, handmade surface that belongs in a mountain house the way the stone belongs in the foundation: because it was made for this place.
Natuross makes hand-hammered copper relief panels for every surface in the mountain house — kitchen walls, range hoods, great room fireplace surrounds, deck feature walls, bathroom surfaces, mudroom panels, and more. Made to your exact dimensions. Suitable for indoor and outdoor spaces, wet areas, and high-altitude 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 an alpine botanical composition: the elk, the eagle, the mountain wildflower, the aspen grove, the pine cone at the scale of the entire kitchen wall. A range hood surround in the same design. A kitchen island panel in the same finish. The mountain house kitchen backsplash is the warm, handmade surface that belongs beside the stone countertop, the timber cabinetry, and the view of the range through the open-plan great room. Browse the copper backsplash collection and the Kitchen page.
The Great Room Fireplace
The great room fireplace is the most mountain house-specific Natuross installation — the large-format copper relief surround around the stone firebox, the warm metal surface in the room the mountain house is organized around. An elk or eagle composition in raised copper relief at the full width of the fireplace opening. An alpine botanical surround. A mountain wildlife scene. A fireback panel inside the firebox. A mantel panel above. Most mountain house fireplace orders include the surround, the mantel panel, and the fireback as a complete set — the three surfaces that make the great room fireplace the most considered feature in the home. See the Great Room page for more.
The Deck & Outdoor Living
A deck feature wall panel in an alpine botanical composition — the elk, the eagle, the mountain wildflower — on the wall the deck faces toward the range. A covered deck feature wall. A pergola panel. The mountain house deck is where copper relief art is most dramatically visible against the mountain landscape — the warm metal surface on the wall that faces the most ambitious view in residential architecture. See the Deck and Pergola pages for more.
The Mudroom
A mudroom feature wall panel in an alpine botanical or wildlife composition — the warm copper relief surface in the room every mountain house arrival passes through first. A boot room panel. The mountain house mudroom is where copper relief art makes the most immediate transition from the mountain outside to the warmth inside. See the Mudroom page for more.
The Bathroom
A full vanity backsplash in an alpine botanical composition — the mountain wildflower or pine cone in raised copper relief beside the stone basin and the natural timber. A feature wall panel behind the soaking tub with a view of the range. See the Bathroom and Primary Bathroom pages for more.
Mountain House Signs & Plaques
The mountain house name beside the entrance. 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 mountain house-authentic finish — the warm, honest metal that belongs beside stone, timber, and the mountain light at altitude. It deepens with every season the mountain produces and looks more at home with every winter it survives. Brown Copper adds the aged warmth of a surface that has been in the mountain house for generations — the copper that has darkened the way the timber has darkened, slowly and in the cold. Black Copper suits mountain houses with a more dramatic, contemporary alpine aesthetic — the dark metal beside the raw stone and the steel frame. Antique Gold suits mountain houses with a more formal great room or library character. Browse all 15 finishes.

"The elk backsplash in Natural Copper behind the range, the eagle surround around the great room fireplace, and the alpine wildflower panel on the deck wall facing the range. The mountain house sits at 9,200 feet. We built it to last as long as the mountain. The copper was the first surface decision we made that felt worthy of that ambition." — Natuross customer

Mountain house projects are defined by the scale of the great room and the ambition of the site — the copper specification must carry from the kitchen through the great room fireplace, the deck, and the mudroom as a single warm material language that belongs to the mountain and the home equally.
