Composed of minute tiles treated to the tiniest detail, the strength point of mosaics definitely lays in the chromatic combinations and the vividness of the effects that can come out of the marriage between colors and shapes. The most favored covering for its beauty and versatility, mosaics are perfect to obtain refined finishes on entire walls, but also to decorate small details, from the edge of a tile or wall-mounted mirror, to the rim of bathtub or a single wall inside the shower cabin; mosaics can add a touch of elegance that enhance the whole space. Interestingly enough, covering mosaics can mold different designs according to the chosen tones and patterns. It is therefore perfect to suit multiple furnishing styles, from modern to classic.
There are different working methods and techniques for mosaics, combined with materials of a diverse range of hardness and resistance; that can set the rhythm and harmony of compositions with a classic taste or in free interpretations, where rules and imagination coexist in synergy. Anyhow the choice of the mosaic material is of utmost importance to help define the style and design of a house. The diversity of shapes and materials allows for unusual combinations of an astonishing beauty. Glass, ceramics, metals, resins and natural stones blend with one another, allowing to play with a rainbow of colors, finishes and light effects. Hence what are the most used materials to decorate the house with a modern mosaic?
If we think of the bathroom furniture, for instance, glass mosaic is doubtless the most common choice together with mosaics with porcelain stoneware tiles. Glass mosaics are among the most used in bathrooms for their endurance in contact with water, cleansers and chemical disinfectants that are also used in swimming pools and beauty centers. The reflection of glass tiles grant a result of a stunning impact. There are glass tiles in solid colors, in a color combination, tone on tone or in contrasting colors. Also porcelain stoneware tiles are incredibly resistant to water, freeze, temperature leaps and chemical agents. Moreover, this material allows for diverse and lifelike colors and textures, like wood effect, for instance.
On the other hand, ceramic mosaics, apart from being a classic of the bathroom and kitchen furniture, are also suitable for the outdoor thanks to their chromatic effects. As a matter of fact, ceramic mosaics are quite largely used for swimming pools and wellness area to enrich floors and surfaces.
The marble tiles collections are plenty and very much sought after too, some of them being more classic and traditional with decorations, rims and roses inspired to ancient mosaics, others being more modern.
Increasingly used for covering in recent times, metal mosaics are often combined with glass stone tiles that underline their color and appearance. Metallic tiles can be made of fused metal, resin or ceramic treated with an enamel to reproduce the metallic effect.
Be it tiles in ceramic or made of a combination of more materials like natural stones, wood essences, glass or metals, mosaic compositions greatly enrich to any space. However, covering the wall of a room with a mosaic entails making attentive choices, especially with regards to colors. For a radical chic environment, for instance, monochrome or two-colors compositions are more appropriate. Of extreme elegance are total white variations, with their brightness and sophistication. In modern environments the emphasis should be rather put on crisp angles and sharp color contrasts. Anyhow the simplest and more natural design that one can obtain with covering mosaics is the classic one, artistic creations made with a mosaic technique that will always evoke ancient historical buildings and fine, classic places coming from the past. Charcoal gray is the color to be preferred with a classic style furnishing.
Mosaics are more than a bathroom furnishing. The kitchen is indeed one of the areas where covering in mosaics are more fitting. With regards to how mosaics should be used, with what patterns and colors, the space available needs to be taken into consideration. For instance, it is not necessary to cover every wall with a mosaic. It is possible to cover one only and leave the remaining three natural. The wall covered with a mosaic would thus stick out catching the attention of those entering the room. Another option for large-size and bright kitchens is to apply the art of mosaics also to cover the floor. A covering mosaic in marble can prove very resistant to wear and easy to cleanse. A striking visual impact is created with sleek black mosaics, suitable for a modern and elegant environment. If you wish to add a touch of elegance to your house, you can also use mosaics to cover furnishing complements, shelves or even to create stunning frames for mirrors. Mosaic is a ductile art that can be applied in different ways. Also in outdoor areas, where it is possible to obtain charming plays with light, it is possible to use mosaics in stone to cover a specific area.
