Handmade dolphin copper kitchen backsplash for behind the stove. Custom coastal wall decor inspired by the freedom, intelligence, and beauty of the ocean.
Graceful, playful, and beloved around the world, dolphins have long symbolized joy, harmony, protection, and a deep connection to the sea. This handcrafted copper backsplash captures the energy of a dolphin leaping above rolling waves, creating a design that brings movement, optimism, and coastal character into the heart of the home.
The composition is intentionally simple and powerful. The dolphin rises from the water in a smooth arc, creating a sense of motion and freedom while maintaining a clean, uncluttered appearance that works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary kitchens. The surrounding waves provide balance and rhythm, reinforcing the connection to the ocean without overwhelming the central subject.
This design is especially popular for beach houses, coastal homes, lakefront properties, vacation homes, waterfront residences, and anyone who feels drawn to marine life and the calming influence of the sea.
Each panel is handcrafted from real 24-gauge copper and individually hand-hammered and hand-formed by Natuross artisans. The raised relief highlights the sleek form of the dolphin while the hammered copper background catches light throughout the day, creating warmth, depth, and constantly changing reflections. The copper is wrapped over a rigid backing, producing a lightweight yet durable panel approximately 1/4 inch thick, similar to standard wall tile.
Designed specifically for use behind stoves, this backsplash combines practical durability with timeless nautical artwork. The sealed finish helps protect the copper while making everyday cleaning simple. Custom sizes, outlet cutouts, pot filler cutouts, and personalized modifications are available.
For larger installations, this design can be expanded into a full marine-themed backsplash featuring additional dolphins, waves, sea turtles, coral reefs, tropical fish, sailboats, lighthouses, or other coastal elements designed specifically for your space.

Installation & Care
Installation & Care
Installation — three methods:
- Adhesive — stick directly over existing tile, drywall, wood, or stone using any standard construction adhesive. Most popular method. Most customers install in under an hour.
- Screw mount — for large, heavy, or outdoor panels. Ships with screws and decorative caps included.
- Hanging wire — for wall art, signs, and removable installations.
For multi-piece panels: install the central piece first, borders second.
Care:
Wipe with a soft damp cloth. For grease or cooking splashes, warm water and mild dish soap. No polishing, waxing, or re-sealing — ever. The finish you receive is the finish it keeps.
Shipping & Returns

As every panel is made to your exact specifications, it cannot be returned or exchanged — but if it ever falls short of what was approved, we remake it at no cost.
