These 7 Mosaic Tiles Make a Serious Style Statement

In the endless world of possibilities in home decor, mosaic takes a special place with its vibrant and fun flair

If you’re looking for colourful and versatile ways to freshen up your interiors, think beyond paints, art or wallpapers – mosaic can add a creative touch to any space and you can use it anywhere in the house, be it on floors, walls or backsplashes. Here are some ideas hot off the press.
Plekkenpol Builders, Inc.
1. Glittering, gleaming and grand … this bathroom can brighten the bleakest of mornings. I like how the luxe mosaic bathtub complements the beige flooring and walls, making the washroom look like one large soothing space enhanced with shimmering details.
A shower area with an intriguing, optical-illusion style mosaic wall … are you hypnotised? The tiles, in varying shades of green, are put together in such a way that they make the wall look like it’s contracting and receding. Like it? Bookmark it.

2. This free-flowing, undulating mosaic around the mirror takes the bling factor in this bathroom a notch higher. The unorthodox design lifts the oval mirror above the ordinary, adding an animated quality to it, making the whole area look magnetic.

Similarly, the broken design effect with mosaic tiles, along with the statuary torso on the wall, gives this corner a unique flourish and makes this otherwise humble vanity look like an art installation.

Another way to highlight the sink area is to go all out – check out this over-the-top, bold, marine-inspired mosaic wall: sea horses, fish, seaweed and even skulls (remember Davey Jones’ locker?) fill the walls with polychromatic whimsy. A visit to the loo becomes a trip into gorgeous undersea fantasy. The vintage style washbasin with golden taps and the gold oval mirror add to the bathroom’s colourful aquatic fairytale effect.

3. I like the innovation in this staircase design – it just makes the whole area pop. The dark wooden treads are highlighted with blue mosaics, making it look, almost, as though the steps are floating on water.
Bayview Builders
4. The hero of the decor – the mosaic wall – makes this kitchen click. The shining mosaic tiles in grey give a layering effect to the kitchen-cum-dining area accented with glossy colours – grey, white and beige. A smart area to wine and dine in, don’t you think?
Something Special Interiors, Inc.
Tip: Just a sliver of mosaic can seal the deal too, as is evident in this image. The narrow band of mosaic backsplash is enough to give an uplifting quality to this teal and beige cook area.

5. These bold, large mosaic flowers transform the look and feel of this bedroom. Breaking the monotony of brown and white, the area behind the bed introduces colour and creativity.

6. In this entry hall, patterns and finishes play off one another –
the mosaic flooring brings vintage appeal and depth to the whole space. The globe pendants and ornamental wallpaper, coupled with the floor, give the area a dash of eclecticism.
Germinate Design
7. It almost looks like the handiwork of a painter … the organic shape accentuated in green, blue and pink shimmers above and below the plants, adding whimsy to the spot, suggesting a river flowing through a forest.
