Mosaics, mosaics, and mosaics…they come in glass, stone, porcelain, metal, wood and some exciting new materials. You can use them on floors, walls and ceilings; they’ve been around as far back as the 4th century BC and they are experiencing a revival as vibrant as their most daring colors! I am currently designing numerous kitchen and bathroom projects and it seems that every one of my clients wants to see these beautiful little squares used in one place or another. I have always been a big fan of mosaics, for aesthetical as well as practical reasons; I think they are timeless and I use them in contemporary as well as traditional projects. Their versatility allows them to wrap around the smallest radiuses, furthermore some suppliers will customize my designs for a specific backsplash or border so I can be as creative as I want! Fields of pale colors give uniformity and serenity to a room; vibrant combinations of assorted colors can make you want to dance the Rumba. Formal or casual, traditional or contemporary the rediscovery of mosaics has brought new blood to design, to the spaces where we live, work and enjoy ourselves. On this blog you can see a bathroom I recently designed, the central feature in the space is a “rug” made out of intricately cut marble pieces that create the flowers, volutes, borders and medallions; the motif is carried to the tub surrounds as well as shower walls.
