Mosaic tiles can bring so much interest to any design and up the intensity of a space. They are expressive, bold, intricate and can create texture that adds depth and dimension to a space. Mosaics infuse personality into interiors.
They are essentially patterns made out of many small pieces put together. Kind of like an artistic puzzle piece, but what you end up with is totally up to the artists’ imagination.
By using mosaic tiles you instantly add a unique accent and a classy character to your interior design, meeting your personal unique taste. The mosaic patterns exhibit a rich artistic history and establish a refined style throughout the decor guaranteeing a high quality.
Initially, the application of mosaics in interior design was fairly modest-there were just few details here and there, and they were considered as accessories. Nowadays, designers use them as an artistic expression on significantly larger surfaces. A modern and practical solution which brings ‘magic’ to the space.
Mosaics can find a home in just about any space, you can put them just about anywhere. The whole house becomes your canvas to let out your creativity.
Kitchen: Due to the tiles’ durability, they would be easier to clean and maintain.
Bathroom: There is a lot of space for decoration in bathrooms: backsplash, countertop, shower, floor.
The Bottom of Your Pool: Many people choose to incorporate mosaic tiles at the bottom of their pools. Often these tiles just have the pool’s depth written on them, but there is no stopping you from incorporating images or designs into this. Abstract designs work best for this function, especially since the water tends to bend light and create a mesmerizing effect. You can choose to have the design continue from the bottom and all the way up the walls of the pool too.
Living room: A mosaic tiled fireplace will steal the glance of any visitor of your home.
Floor: Even since oldest times, people used tiles to decorate their floors, and to make them intriguing and beautiful. Why the floors? It is because they lead people inside your home, and they are large enough to play the role of a focal point.
And it’s not just about where you can apply them but how:
The space for creativity is huge when it comes to mosaics, and it has been made easier with computer-aided design (CAD) that can help make mosaic tiles. With this technology’s help, you could choose pictures and make them out onto the tiles to form the mosaic. A picture can be broken down into pixels, which are then applied to individual tiles. This helps in having more precise designs.
Another way to enhance the look is to play with grout choice. In addition to different colors that can either contrast or blend with the mosaic itself, grout is now available with some shimmer and sparkle for a bit of drama.
