Backsplash School (5): What is Mosaic Tile Backsplash?

Mosaic tile backsplash is a bridge between the ancient and modern era where, kitchen remodeling meets with your artful and colorful personality.

The basic definition of mosaic tile backsplash is the art of combining tiny tiles together to create a larger image or pattern.  In some conditions,  large tiles with picture pieces have the same meaning. No matter what size of piece, pictured tiles are like puzzle pieces and also called mosaic tile.  Your kitchen wall can carry the figurative designs, which integrate visually with existing tiling and decor: Landscape, blooming tree branches , beach, florals, abstracts , geometric shapes  are some of the mosaic tile backsplash ideas. Please consider that, the simplicity or complexity of the pattern will affect the final cost to create the desired end result.

Material  Selection for Mosaic Tile Backsplash

Stone Mosaic Backsplash

Stone mosaic tiles add a sophisticated and complimentary approach to any space. The favorite stones to make a beautiful stone mosaic backsplash are marble, travertine and natural rocks and slates.

Glass Mosaic Backsplash

Glass mosaic tiles can be both dramatic and soft. Fused glass is picked for more artistic forms of  backsplash. Adding an accent wall behind your range is a popular choice when updating your kitchen. Glass tiles are one of the easiest mosaics to clean and maintain, making them an excellent choice for your backsplash selection.

Ceramic mosaic backsplash tile is one of the favorite of interior designers and architects. The advantages of ceramic mosaic tile are: strong, long-lasting and guaranteed to make any interior look amazing as the quintessential wall feature.  To visualize the endless imagination I would like to introduce the broken china pieces as  ceramic mosaic tile.
