Send a photo of your entryway, a floor plan, or describe what you have in mind. We design everything and handle the rest.
The First Impression Argument
The entryway is the only room in the home where the design decision is made in seconds — the guest crosses the threshold, sees the room, and forms an impression before they have taken three steps. Every other room in the home has time to reveal itself. The entryway has none.
A Natuross copper piece in the entryway makes that impression immediately and completely. The warm metal, the hammered surface, the custom design — the guest sees it the moment they enter and understands immediately that this is a home that was designed with care. The first impression that defines every impression that follows.
Feature Wall Ideas
The feature wall of the entryway — the wall seen from the front door, the wall that defines the first impression of the entire home — is the most strategically important surface in the residential catalog.
Entryway Feature Wall Panel The copper panel on the primary wall of the entryway — the surface seen from the front door, the first impression of the entire home.
The entryway feature wall in copper is the installation that makes the home feel as considered as the people who live in it. A large-format botanical composition — the tree, the branch, the leaf — rendered in deep copper relief, the natural world at the threshold of the home. A classical composition — the urn, the column, the architectural fragment — the entryway as a statement of the classical tradition. The family name in bold copper letterforms — the home named at the threshold, the first impression as personal as the family it introduces. A geometric Art Deco composition — the golden age of the grand foyer, precise and bold. A heraldic composition — the family crest in high relief, the family motto in copper letterforms — the entryway as a statement of the family's identity. A celestial composition — the sun, the stars — the entryway as a room open to the sky. A simple hammered texture in a rich finish — the copper speaking through the material alone, the entryway as a warm, considered surface that makes every guest feel welcomed.
Full Entryway Feature Wall A copper panel covering the entire feature wall of the entryway — from floor to ceiling, from wall to wall.
A single unified composition across the full wall — the entryway's complete design statement. The family name in monumental letterforms, surrounded by a complete botanical or classical composition that makes the entryway feel like the threshold of a home with a history.
Grand Foyer Feature Wall Panel A copper panel on the primary wall of a grand foyer — the large-format installation that suits the scale of a double-height entrance hall.
The grand foyer feature wall in copper is the most architecturally ambitious entryway installation. A large-format classical composition — the columns, the arches, the architectural fragments of the great entrance halls of history — rendered in copper at the scale of the grand foyer. A heraldic composition — the family crest in high relief, the family motto in copper letterforms — the grand foyer as a statement of the family's identity and history. The family name in monumental letterforms — the home named at the threshold, the first impression as grand as the foyer it introduces.
Console Wall Panel A copper panel on the wall behind the console table — the surface that frames the console and makes it feel like a designed feature of the entryway.
The console wall panel makes the entryway console table feel as considered as a piece of bespoke furniture. The copper behind the console — warm, considered, precise. A botanical composition in shallow relief — the leaf, the branch — the natural world behind the console. A classical composition — the urn, the column — the console as a statement of the classical tradition. The family name in copper letterforms above the console. A simple hammered texture in a warm finish.
Mirror Ideas
The entryway mirror is the most important piece in the entryway — the mirror every guest glances at, the mirror the homeowner faces before they leave the house, the mirror that makes the entryway feel larger and more alive. In a copper frame, the entryway mirror becomes the defining statement of the entire space.
Entryway Mirror Frame A copper frame around the entryway mirror — the piece that defines the character of the entire entryway.
The entryway mirror in a copper frame is the most impactful single piece in any entryway. The mirror every guest glances at, framed in copper — the entryway reflected back, the space doubled, the home made to feel larger and more alive. A large rectangular frame with a deep botanical relief border — the leaf, the branch, the flower — running around the mirror. A frame with the family name worked into the top rail — the most personal entryway mirror available. A frame with a classical relief border — the architectural motifs of the great entrance hall. A frame with a geometric Art Deco border — the golden age of the grand foyer. A simple frame in a rich finish — the copper speaking through the material alone.
Round Entryway Mirror Frame A circular copper frame — the format that makes the greatest impact in the entryway.
The round copper mirror frame in the entryway — the circular form that references the sun, the medallion, the classical roundel. A sunburst frame — the rays radiating from the mirror edge, the entryway as a room dedicated to light. A botanical frame — the vine, the leaf, the flower — running around the circumference. A geometric frame — the Art Deco pattern in precise copper relief around the circular mirror.
Arch Entryway Mirror Frame Flat base, arched top — the format that gives the entryway an architectural character that references the arch of the front door.
The arch mirror frame in an entryway references the arch of the front door — the mirror as a second threshold within the home. The keystone at the top of the arch — the family name, the house name, a botanical motif, the family crest.
Grand Foyer Mirror Frame A large-format copper frame for the grand foyer mirror — the oversized mirror that suits the scale of a double-height entrance hall.
The grand foyer mirror frame is the most architecturally ambitious entryway mirror installation. A large-format frame in deep relief — the botanical, the classical, the heraldic — at a scale that suits the grand foyer. The mirror that makes the grand foyer feel as considered as the great entrance halls of history.
Staircase Ideas
The staircase wall — the wall beside the staircase, the surface seen as the guest ascends — is the most architecturally specific surface in the entryway.
Staircase Feature Wall Panel A copper panel on the wall beside the staircase — the surface seen as the guest ascends, the surface that accompanies every journey up and down the stairs.
The staircase feature wall panel makes the staircase feel as considered as the rest of the entryway. A botanical composition — the tree, the branch, the leaf — growing up the staircase wall, the natural world ascending with the guest. A classical composition — the column, the architectural fragment — the staircase as a statement of the classical tradition. The family name in copper letterforms at the top of the staircase — the home named at the highest point of the entryway.
Staircase Gallery Wall Panel Set A series of coordinated copper panels running up the staircase wall — the gallery wall that makes the staircase feel as considered as a designed installation.
The staircase gallery wall panel set is the most staircase-specific copper installation. A series of panels running up the wall beside the staircase — each panel a different element of the same composition, the full composition revealed as the guest ascends. A botanical series — the root, the trunk, the branch, the leaf, the flower — the tree revealed panel by panel as the guest climbs. A family history series — the founding year, the family name, the family motto, the family crest — the family's story told panel by panel up the staircase.
Under-Stair Panel A copper panel on the wall under the staircase — the surface visible in the space beneath the stairs, the detail that makes the under-stair space feel as considered as the rest of the entryway.
The under-stair panel makes the space beneath the staircase feel as considered as the rest of the entryway. The copper in the under-stair space — warm, considered, precise. A botanical composition in shallow relief. A simple hammered texture in a warm finish.
Wall Art & Sculpture Ideas

A single powerful entryway image rendered in copper relief — a tree at monumental scale, a botanical composition in precise detail, a classical urn in high relief, a heraldic crest, a geometric Art Deco composition. The piece that makes the entryway feel like the threshold of a home with a point of view.

"The family name panel and the mirror frame changed the entire entryway. Every guest who walks through the front door stops immediately — before they have taken three steps. The copper makes the home feel as considered as the people who live in it. The first impression is everything — and the copper gets it right every time." — Natuross customer
