All About Mosaic

Ancient mosaic art originating in Mesopotamia is believed to date back thousands of years. The term mosaic essentially means a design that’s comprised of many smaller pieces of tile. They can come in a variety of patterns and colors, which makes mosaic tiles one of the more accessible materials on the market for drawing more attention to a wall or a countertop.

As mentioned, mosaic is inspired and made by small pieces of tiles joined together. It doesn’t mean it has to be abrupt or modern in any way. It can very well have geometric shapes and can be a combination of same colour and same shape tiles.

Advantages of choosing a mosaic tile is the design possibilities, a whole world of colours and patterns waiting to be explored by the touch of your creativity.

Mosaic is the best choice for people who are more artistically inclined and want their homes to express that.
