Mosaic Ceramic Tiles Add Design And Flair

Mosaic Ceramic Tiles Add Design And Flair

Using ceramic mosaic tiles is a great way to update and put your own design style into any room in your home. Always trending, mosaic tiles are both beautiful and durable and can be used in kitchens, bathrooms, family rooms, and hallways. Using different styles, sizes, and layouts you can use mosaic tiles on walls and floors or as an accent around fireplaces. 

Historically, small mosaic tiles were carefully applied one by one to create a unique pattern. While you can still apply larger mosaic tiles using this method, smaller tiles are also available as sheets, making it possible and much easier for you to decorate larger surfaces. 

Love the look of mosaic tiles but not sure where to use them in your home? Here are a few ideas to inspire you:

Vestibules and Hallways

The first thing people see when they enter your home is the front entry and hallway. Laying ceramic tiles in the vestibule and in hallways is a good way to make a unique design statement. Considering using hexagonal mosaic tiles to bring an open look and feel to smaller areas. 

Living and Family Rooms

Why not brighten up your living or family room with a feature wall using colourful glass mosaic tiles? These glass tiles are glossy and shiny and when the light shines off them, can make any boring room come alive. Glass mosaics can also add a bit of texture to a room, giving it a modern touch. If tiling a complete wall seems overwhelming you have the option of tiling a smaller section, such a backdrop on the wall above a seating area. 

Kitchen Backsplash 

Mosaic tiles are often used as a backsplash on kitchen walls. Use tiles that match the colour and design of the rest of the kitchen or be bold and use contrasting colours to create a strong visual effect. Another way to use ceramic mosaic tiles in the kitchen is to extend the backsplash up to the cabinets. This extension of mosaic tiling can add a unique decorate element to smaller kitchens, elongating the wall area.

Dining Room

An often forgotten room is the dining room. If you’ve added a mosaic backsplash to your kitchen, using the same mosaic tiles in the dining room is a way to create a visual connection between the two rooms. Or tile one wall of the dining room using embossed mosaic tiles to create a spacious focal point.

Bathroom

One way to take your boring bathroom and give it a contemporary look is by covering the floor or a complete wall with mosaic tiles. One of the current trends for bathrooms is to use geometric mosaic shapes in either large or small sizes. Try to use tiles in the same colour palette to create a sense of unity throughout the room.
