8 Ways to Add Color & Texture to Your Home with Mosaic Tiles
Mosaic tiles add colour, texture and pattern to your home. Decor Luxury Handicraft Art, the no.1 CNC mosaic manufacturer in India lists out the different ways to use mosaic tiles to beautify your home.
The Mesmerising Beauty of Mosaic Tiles
Mosaic tiles have been around for millennia. From ancient monuments to modern contemporary buildings, mosaic tiles beautify all spaces. Today, mosaic tiles are produced in a wide variety of materials ranging from porcelain to ceramic and glass.
Whether you use mosaic tiles in the same colour or different colours, they can create beautiful patterns ranging from simple to intricate. Mosaic tiles can be used in all areas of your home – floors, kitchen backsplashes, shower cubicles to outdoor areas.
Mosaic tiles are available in a variety of sizes starting from 2” or less. They are available as separate pieces that come pre-glued. They are placed in different patterns on walls or floors. Some mosaic tiles come in pre-cut mesh sheets that reduce the installation time.
“Mosaic tiles add interest to any space and make it feel unique and personalised. They also add texture to spaces, which is not possible in regular tiles.”
Mosaic tiles are easy to install and do not require much cutting as they come in pre-cut mesh sheets. However, while installing mosaic tiles you have to ensure that the grout is sealed and the tiles are laid out evenly to avoid any disjoints in the surface.
Another key factor to consider while installing mosaic tiles is the grout colour. Since these tiles are tiny, grout lines are visible heavily; hence you need to place extra care while choosing the grout colour. Look for grout that blends with the tile colour. You can also head in the opposite direction by using grout colours that are a bright contrast to the tile colour.
