Handmade hippopotamus copper kitchen backsplash for behind the stove. Custom wildlife wall decor for safari homes, lodge kitchens, animal lovers, and African-inspired interiors.

A curious hippopotamus emerges from calm water at the center of this distinctive copper backsplash, surrounded by tall cattails and gentle ripples that spread across the surface. The composition captures a rare balance between strength and tranquility. While hippos are among the most powerful animals in the wild, this design highlights their quieter side, creating an artwork that feels warm, approachable, and surprisingly charming.

The close-up perspective gives the hippopotamus real presence without making the design feel heavy. Its expressive eyes, rounded features, and relaxed posture bring personality to the piece, while the surrounding reeds create a natural frame that draws attention to the animal. It is a wonderful choice for homeowners who appreciate wildlife, safari-inspired décor, or simply enjoy artwork that sparks conversation.

Each backsplash is handcrafted from real 24-gauge copper and individually hand-hammered and hand-formed by Natuross artisans. The raised relief creates depth and dimension, while the hammered background reflects light beautifully across the copper surface. The copper is wrapped over a rigid backing, resulting in a panel that is lightweight, durable, and approximately 1/4 inch thick, similar to standard wall tile.

Designed specifically for use behind stoves, this backsplash combines decorative beauty with everyday practicality. The surface is protected by a sealed finish that helps preserve the copper's appearance while allowing for easy cleaning. Thousands of Natuross backsplashes have been installed in real kitchens and have been enjoyed by homeowners for many years.

Available options:

  • Custom sizes available
  • Custom wildlife designs available
  • Cutouts available for outlets, pot fillers, and other needed openings
  • Available in copper, patina, silver, and brass finishes
  • Adhesive mount, screw mount, and hanging-wire installation options available
  • Digital approval provided before production begins

If you are planning a larger kitchen project, this artwork can also be created as a full-wall kitchen backsplash. Matching side panels can be designed to flow seamlessly from the central scene, creating a unified custom installation tailored to your space.

Materials

Every Natuross backsplash is handcrafted from real 24-gauge copper or brass over a rigid composite backing, creating a finished thickness of approximately ¼ inch.

The result is lightweight, rigid, and designed for long-term use in kitchens and other living spaces.

Each backsplash is sealed with a clear protective finish to help resist moisture, fingerprints, cooking splashes, and everyday wear.

For many years, Natuross has specialized in handcrafted copper kitchen backsplashes, creating more than 10,000 custom pieces installed in homes across the United States.

Custom Sizes & Layouts

Every backsplash is made specifically for your kitchen.

Order a single backsplash behind the stove, matching side panels beneath your cabinets, or a complete kitchen backsplash designed for your full layout.

Outlets, switches, pot fillers, windows, vents, and other cutouts can usually be incorporated into the design.

If your exact size is not listed, simply send us your approximate width × height after ordering. We usually add custom sizes quickly.

For the best fit, measure the finished opening and subtract approximately ⅛ inch from each side. This small installation allowance is normally unnoticeable and helps create an easier installation and professional result.

Design

Choose from one of the largest collections of handcrafted copper backsplash designs available, including trees, wildlife, landscapes, botanical, decorative, symbol, and personalized designs.

Every design can be handcrafted in any available finish and adapted to your measurements.

Looking for something unique? Simply tell us your design idea when ordering. If you have an inspiration image, you may upload it as well.

We create your custom design for approval before production begins.

Every order includes a digital preview, and production begins only after you approve the design.

When your backsplash is complete, we also send photos of the finished work for final approval before shipping.

Installation

Most customers install their backsplash in less than an hour.

Choose from Adhesive Mount, Screw Mount, or Hanging Wire installation.

Adhesive Mount is the most popular choice for kitchen backsplashes and is suitable for most properly prepared drywall, tile, wood, stone, brick, and metal surfaces.

Installation instructions are included with every order.

Care & Cleaning

Natuross backsplashes are designed specifically for kitchens and have been installed behind thousands of stoves and ranges.

Each backsplash is sealed with a clear protective finish that helps keep grease and cooking splashes on the surface, where they can be wiped away with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild dish soap.

No polishing or special maintenance is required under normal household use.

Production & Delivery

After your order is placed, we review the details and usually prepare your digital design preview within one business day.

Once you approve the design, your backsplash is handcrafted specifically for your order. Production typically takes about three weeks, although rush production may be available depending on our workshop schedule.

Before shipping, we send photos of your completed backsplash for final approval.

Orders ship with tracking and are typically delivered about one month after the order is placed.

From your first message to final delivery, our goal is to make ordering a custom copper kitchen backsplash simple, personal, and worry-free.
