#TileTuesday Feature: Using Mosaic Tile at Home

July 22, 2014

Mosaics open the door to immense design possibilities. These exquisite tiles, though small in physical dimensions, let homeowners dream bigger than ever. Mosaic tiles add depth, texture, color, richness – and unparalleled custom options – to any space they’re a part of.

With that in mind, we’re offering some friendly words of wisdom regarding selecting and using mosaics at home for this week’s #TileTuesday!

Once you’ve given into the allure of mosaics – and trust us, they will charm you – the next step is to decide whether you want your space to be soft and subtle or bold and daring.

If you lean more towards the beauty of the understated, then select colors in pale, muted tones. Neutrals, light blues and greens create serene, luminescent environments. Below our Ebb and Flow collection creates a fresh, inspired look.

Another option is to sprinkle pops of color across an otherwise neutral background. Installing white or cream porcelain across the majority of the space and dropping in hints of complementary mosaics will allow you to experience the best of both worlds. Our Crossville Mosaics provides the right mix to accomplish this look.

On the other hand, if you’re of the “all or nothing” mentality, don’t shy away from color. Pick a color that will complement your room’s palette and go big or go home! A strong installation of colorful mosaics makes a wonderful centerpiece and talking point for visitors. Turn to our Glass Blox for an exciting range of hues.

Beyond the selection of style and color palette, you also have sizes to consider. Mosaics are offered in a mix of sizes options, inviting custom configurations. Small squares, brick patterns, a blend of varied sizes – the range of choices are a  fun way to spice up your design with dramatic focal points or beautiful backdrops that envelop your space in stunning shimmer and color.

For the ultimate show-stopper in mosaics, consider reflective glass tiles that will catch the light and add sparkle to your space. You can add these subtly, for a hint of glamour. Below, touches of our Sideview glass collection enhance this kitchen area as the ideal accessory for the overall look.

Or you can really create a statement by installing glass mosaics en masse. You really can’t get much more bold and dauntless than this look with our Sideview collection! In this design the bling of the glass mosaics is balanced with the subtlety of our Reclamation collection on the floor. These tiles blend beautifully into this design and help accent the greatest elements of the space: the large walk-in shower, and crisp white trim and cabinetry.

Mosaics offer designers and homeowners alike a diverse playground of opportunity. Whether you want to go subtle or bold, traditional or modern, serene or loud, mosaics can open up the door to reimagine your home.
