You can use painting, mosaic wallpaper, tile inserts and lots more. Consider the room’s purpose and its furnishings and try to tie in colors and textures of the style that’s already there.

A designer needs to choose wisely.

When buying mosaic wall art, it might be best if you took samples of the wallpaper, paint, fabrics, etc. so that you are certain to select appropriate colors. Every shade creates its own effect, from shades of blue, green, turquoise, reds…even whites and off-whites. You must be careful that your wall art supports the other colors in the room instead of conflicting.

2. Mosaic Backsplash

Transform your kitchen into a showplace with a gorgeous mosaic backsplash. The mosaic backsplash can be placed above the sink or the stovetop. The right patterns and colors will add flair and functionality. If you have a neutral theme and colors in the kitchen, a mosaic backsplash that creates contrast like the one seen below would be a great choice and vice versa.

3. Mosaic Flooring

Mosaic Artwork isn’t only restricted to walls. As a matter of fact, mosaic rugs are a work of art themselves and they will definitely stand out as mesmerizing centerpieces. Similar to choosing any rug or floor tiling, when choosing a mosaic rug, it needs to be complementary with the colors, style and design of the room.
