Copper Reading Room & Reading Nook Panels, Wall Art & Signs — Custom Made
Natuross makes hand-hammered copper feature walls, reading nook panels, bookcase back panels, wall art, and signs for reading rooms and reading nooks. The most considered reading room decor available — every piece an original work, designed for your specific space, made to your exact dimensions, in any of 15 finishes. Over 10,000 custom copper projects installed across the US. Ready to hang, no sealing required.
The reading room is the room designed entirely for the pleasure of reading. The design should feel as warm and as quiet as the reading itself — not bold, not dramatic, but beautiful in the way that a good book is beautiful.
Feature Wall
The wall the reader faces from the primary reading chair — the surface that accompanies every hour of reading. A single panel, a full wall from floor to ceiling, or a reading chair wall panel — the copper the reader is closest to, the surface that accompanies every page.
A large-format botanical composition — the tree, the branch, the leaf — the natural world brought inside in copper. A literary composition — the open book, the quill, the reading lamp. A celestial composition — the moon and stars above the reading chair. A forest composition — the trees, the light through the leaves, the quiet of the forest. A simple hammered texture in a warm finish — the copper that rewards the slow attention of the reader.
Reading Nook
The most intimate reading space in the home — the alcove, the window bay, the built-in seat. A reading nook back panel — the copper the reader faces at the closest range, the detail that rewards proximity. A window seat back panel. Window seat side panels. A complete built-in reading nook panel set covering back wall and both sides. A reading nook ceiling panel — the stars above the reader in the most private reading space.
A botanical composition — the leaf, the branch, the flower. A literary quote in copper letterforms. The reader’s name in gentle copper letterforms — the nook named for the person who reads there. A simple hammered texture in a warm finish.
Bookcase
A full reading room bookcase back panel set — the collection displayed against a warm copper background. Individual section panels. A reading room bookcase feature section — the copper behind the most beloved books, the reader’s favorites, the volumes that define the reading life.
Wall Art & Sculptures
An open book panel — the defining object of the reading room in precise copper relief. A tree panel — the trunk, the branches, the leaves. A reading lamp in three-dimensional copper. An open book sculpture. A quill. An owl — the wise guardian of the reading room, above the books. Made to any size, designed for this room.
Reading Room Signs
The room’s name. The reader’s name. A literary quote. A favorite author. A reading room motto. A do not disturb sign. A reading nook sign. Bookcase labels by genre. A to-be-read sign. See all sign types on the Copper Signs & Plaques page.

"The reading nook back panel changed the entire corner. It went from a chair in an alcove to a proper reading nook — the kind you never want to leave. The copper makes the nook feel warm and enclosed and completely specific to the act of reading. I read more now than I ever have." — Natuross customer
