Custom copper kitchen backsplash featuring a hand-hammered iguana in raised copper relief. Exotic, architectural, and full of natural detail, this design brings the atmosphere of a tropical conservatory into the kitchen while showcasing the beauty of handcrafted copper artistry.
Formed from 24-gauge real copper and wrapped over a rigid backing, each panel is individually handcrafted using traditional metalworking techniques. The finished piece is approximately 1/4" thick, similar to wall tile, yet lightweight enough for straightforward installation.
The composition features a large iguana stretched across a weathered tree branch, surrounded by broad monstera leaves and tropical foliage. Every aspect of the reptile's anatomy has been carefully interpreted in copper, from the distinctive crest along its back and neck to the textured scales, muscular limbs, alert eyes, and sweeping tail that guides the eye across the artwork. The surrounding leaves frame the subject naturally, creating balance while reinforcing the lush rainforest setting.
Rather than relying on busy scenery, the design focuses on texture, form, and presence. The contrast between the iguana's intricate scales and the smooth flowing curves of the leaves creates a visually rich composition that feels sophisticated and intentional.
Every visible element is physically shaped from the copper sheet itself. The scales, branch texture, spines, claws, foliage, and hammered background are all raised by hand, creating genuine depth that changes with the light throughout the day.
Not printed. Not laser engraved. Not machine stamped. Not cast.
For years, Natuross has created custom copper kitchen backsplashes exclusively. Thousands of panels have been installed behind stoves in homes across the United States, making them a proven choice for homeowners seeking both beauty and durability.
This iguana design is particularly suited to tropical homes, island-inspired interiors, coastal properties, vacation homes, botanical spaces, and kitchens that embrace distinctive natural themes. It also works beautifully as decorative wall art, bringing warmth, texture, and conversation-starting character to the room.
The panel can be mounted over drywall, wood, stone, brick, metal, or existing tile using appropriate adhesive, silicone, or mechanical fasteners. A hanging-wire option is also available for decorative applications. A durable clear protective coating helps preserve the finish while making routine cleaning simple. Everyday kitchen splashes wipe away easily with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild dish soap.
Available in natural copper, aged patina finishes, silver finishes, and brass-toned finishes to complement a wide range of interior styles.

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.
