Add a Dash of Fun to Your Home with Mosaic Tiles

Tired of seeing tiled floors, walls, or other surfaces that look plain and dull? If you want your floors or walls to stand out, mosaic tiles are the way to go.

If you’re one of many people who stick to simple, monochromatic tiles, it’s time to give mosaic tiling a second chance. Mosaic tiling is a great way to give your home texture and colour and make it much more interesting.

What is mosaic tiling?

Mosaic tiling is a method that makes use of small pieces of tiles to create complex, beautiful designs. Most of the tiles used for this purpose are square, 2-inch glass or ceramic ones, but it’s possible to mix and match tiles that are cut into irregular shapes and sizes. You can have these tiles installed randomly or systematically to create fancy patterns or images.

Where can you use mosaic tiles?

• Bathroom – If you’re new to using this type of tiling, your bathroom is the perfect place to start. Instead of choosing plain bathroom tiles, you can use mosaic tiling in a palette to highlight a certain part of your floor or wall.
• Kitchen – Mosaic tiling can be a fun alternative to a regular splashback. You can make it stand out by selecting a palette that contrasts with your kitchen’s colours. If you want a subtle, classy look, you can opt for metallic tiles with toned-down colours that blend in with the rest of your kitchen. You can also use mosaic tiles to create a uniquely patterned splashback.
• Garden – You can jazz up your outdoor tiles or paving with mosaic tiling. Use patterns or images that can make your afternoon stroll enjoyable. You can also use it to decorate garden benches, stepping stones, and walls.

There’s no strict guideline that specifies where mosaic tiling can or cannot be used. If you’re bold enough, you can even use it as floor tiles or wall tiles for your living room or dining room.

Which colours should you use?

You have limitless options! What’s awesome about using mosaic tiling is that you can use any colour palette as long as it complements or stands in contrast to your home’s existing design. You can even create any image or pattern you want; just have fun and let your imagination run wild!
