Copper Backsplash & Relief Art for Provençal Homes

The Provençal home is the most sensory domestic aesthetic in the world — the lavender in the courtyard, the cicadas in the afternoon heat, the kitchen that smells of thyme and olive oil, and the interior that was built around the light: the warm stone that holds it, the terracotta that reflects it, and the copper pot that has always caught it above the fire. Copper belongs in the Provençal home not as a design choice but as a material fact — the warm metal that has been part of this landscape and this kitchen tradition for as long as the lavender has been in the field.

Natuross makes hand-hammered copper relief panels for every surface in the Provençal home — kitchen walls, range hoods, fireplace surrounds, courtyard walls, garden walls, bathroom surfaces, 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 Provençal Kitchen

The full-wall copper relief panel behind the range — counter to cabinet, wall to wall — in the botanical composition that defines the Provençal landscape: the lavender field, the olive branch, the sunflower, the herb garden — thyme, rosemary, sage — at the scale of the entire kitchen wall. A range hood surround in the same design completes the set. A kitchen island panel in the same finish coordinates the kitchen as a single warm copper interior — the material that belongs beside the terracotta tile, the stone countertop, and the Provençal pottery. Browse the copper backsplash collection and the Kitchen page.

The Fireplace & Living Room

A lavender or olive branch surround in raised copper relief around the firebox — the Provençal botanical composition in the fireplace that the mas is organized around in winter. A fireback panel inside the firebox. A sunflower or herb garden mantel panel above. Most Provençal home fireplace orders include the surround and the mantel panel as a matched pair. See the Living Room page for more.

The Courtyard

The courtyard is the most Provençal-specific Natuross outdoor installation — the copper relief panel on the stone courtyard wall, the warm metal surface in the outdoor room the Provençal home is organized around in summer. A lavender field composition at the full width of the courtyard wall. An olive branch arrangement. A sunflower field. The Provençal courtyard is where copper relief art is most naturally and most completely at home outdoors — the warm metal beside the old stone, the handmade surface in the outdoor room that has been lived in for generations. See the Courtyard page for more.

The Garden & Terrace

A garden wall panel in a lavender or olive branch composition beside the potager. A terrace feature wall panel in the same finish as the kitchen. A garden gate panel with the property name or a botanical design. Copper with protective lacquer holds its finish outdoors for years. See the Garden Wall, Garden Gate, and Terrace pages for more.

The Bathroom

A full vanity backsplash in a lavender or herb garden composition — the warm copper relief surface beside the stone basin and the Provençal tile. A feature wall panel behind the freestanding bath. See the Bathroom page for more.

Provençal Signs & Plaques

The mas name beside the entrance gate. A family name plaque. A property name panel. A founding year. Every sign made with any text, any font, any finish. See all sign types on the Copper Signs & Plaques page.

"Mas [Name]" · "[Family Name]" · "Est. [Year]" · "[Domaine Name]" · "Propriété Privée" · "Bienvenue"


Finishes

Natural Copper is the most Provençal-authentic finish — the warm, honest metal that belongs beside stone, terracotta, and the afternoon light of the Midi. Brown Copper adds the aged warmth of a surface that has lived in the mas for generations — the copper that has darkened the way the stone has darkened, slowly and honestly. Green Copper suits courtyard and garden wall installations — the natural patina of copper beside old stone and climbing roses. Antique Gold suits Provençal homes with a more formal salon character.

"The lavender field backsplash in Natural Copper behind the range, the olive branch surround around the fireplace, and the sunflower courtyard wall panel in the same finish. The kitchen, the salon, and the courtyard connected by the same warm metal. In July, when the lavender is in bloom outside and the copper is catching the afternoon light inside, the mas feels exactly as it should. There is nothing to add and nothing to change." — Natuross customer


For Interior Designers & Architects

Provençal home projects are defined by the relationship between the interior and the landscape outside — the copper specification that carries from the kitchen through the courtyard and into the garden as a single warm material language that belongs to the place. The palette is warm, the subjects are botanical, and the finish must feel as if it has always been part of the mas. 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.
