Decorative mosaic

The decor of surfaces by a mosaic can not be named as the new or original reception. The first patterns of tiles were still in the Middle Ages, but over time, of course, this luxury became possible to reproduce in virtually any home. The secret of the centuries-old popularity of this material consists of three simple characteristics: quality, beauty and practicality.

Over time, decorative mosaic ceased to be used only for walls, now with cunning patterns you can decorate the floors and facades of houses, paint bright pieces of furniture and create pictures of them. We will talk about all the possibilities of using this universal material further.

Decorative tile-mosaic in the interior

As we have already noticed earlier, mosaic is a thing that will find a place in the interior of any room, regardless of its stylization. Patterns of tiny tiles have long since left the bathroom, moving to living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens. From the tile-mosaic you can make an easy-to-use apron for the working area of ​​the workshop, lay out its fireplace or decorative columns. In the bedroom, the mosaic patterns can both be advantageously supplemented, and completely replace the head of the bed. For the decor of the living room, you can choose a tiny mirror tile of any shade, for example, silver mirror mosaic inserts, laid out against a gray background, will always look great. By the way, mirror pieces of a mosaic made of acrylic often do not even need to be attached with additional means, since they are sold on a self-adhesive basis.

Separately, it is necessary to touch the theme of the floor from a decorative tile-mosaic. Mosaic floors can fully complement the decor of the walls, and can be tiled with a tile of full size for a more decorative effect.

Decorative PVC panels for mosaic

To replace the manual laying of each element of the mosaic came tile ribbons on the grid, which can be easily attached to the wall in a single piece, but, despite the convenience in installation and operation, the prices for such decor bite. Where more budgetary solution is a polyvinyl chloride tile decorated for mosaic. A PVC sheet with a broken pattern is glued to the walls with a special mortar, and joints with the floor and ceiling are decorated with plastic panels. In addition to a pleasant price, it is worth noting also the water resistance of this material, as well as the fact that during the laying, you do not have to bother with the grouting of the seams.

To all else, a huge number of PVC mosaic design options are available on the market: from classical blankets, to bright colored assorted and decorative mosaic panels with abstract drawings.

The only drawback of the decorative panel-mosaic made of PVC can only be that it can be stacked only on flat surfaces - on a too crooked geometry the plates are badly attached and look unnatural.

Decorative mosaic for bathroom

Whatever one may say, but most often the decor of the mosaic can be found in the design of bathrooms, saunas and pools. In such rooms, the multifaceted color and mirror reflection builds a direct association with water drops and other naturalistic motifs. You are free to lay out the entire room from floor to ceiling with a mosaic, focus only on the bath / shower zone, or modestly outline the room around the perimeter with a narrow apron made from pieces of tile - it will look great anyway. The combination of a mosaic with a large tile of contrasting shades looks original. And to make your decor look more organic, do not forget to buy decorative plaster in the color of the mosaic, water resistant, of course.
