Classic Mosaic Tile Pattern

A Mosaic tile pattern or Mural is a fascinating visual element that adds texture, movement and drama to your kitchen, bathroom, floors, walls and tables. Murals and classic mosaic tile have been created for centuries throughout Rome, Greece, Egypt, Turkey and today murals and mosaic tile designs can be found just about anywhere in the world.

Mosaic is a decorative art that creates patterns and pictures of any scene you like using small pieces of stone, tile, glass, pebbles, metal or really any material. You can even order pre-made mosaic sheets for easier installation.

Murals are hand-painted scenes painted on any surface, but most commonly reserved for the kitchen backsplash in today’s homes.

Rules of Design

No real rules govern the shape of a mural or mosaic art pattern.

It can be square, rectangle, diamond or simply flow in undulating waves. Use a defined border around the mural or mosaic... or not.

Of course, the design should work with the overall theme or essence of the room, but again... it's art, so create whatever scene or pattern appeals to you.

Often you’ll see a geometric mosaic tile pattern used in shower stalls, on bathroom walls, kitchen backsplashes and around pools.

But of course, a picture mosaic tile design can be incorporated into any of these areas as well.

For instance, murals and mosaics look great in a “picture frame” above a cook top or as part of a tub surround.

On floors and tables you’ll often see a circular mosaic called a “medallion.”

Creating a mosaic can be as simple as picking out a pre-designed pattern on fiberglass netting. If you want an original mosaic then commissioning a mosaic artist is the way to go.
