Beautiful Home

Redecorating is a fine way to update your home and gain a satisfying new ambience to different rooms in your home, which, in turn, helps raise your spirits. However, when you think ‘redecorating’, you usually assume the price tag is going to be high. On the other hand, the bathroom is typically the smallest room in a home and redecorating doesn’t necessarily mean buying new fixtures – a fresh coat of paint, a few new towels and a new window covering can spruce up a bathroom – minimally. However, for just a few extra bucks, mosaic bathroom tiles can create a radically new look.

If you haven’t considered using mosaic bathroom tiles to update your bathroom, it’s time to take a look at what’s on offer in the marketplace today. Take a peek on a Google image search to get hundreds of thousands of glimpses at some beautiful  and imaginative ways others have used the mosaic tiles to create a knockout look to an otherwise ordinary bathroom.

Mosaic bathroom tiles are available in pre-glued sheets, either as a single color or in repeating patterns. In addition to the standard ceramic tiles, you can find tiles finished in metallic colors. There are even sheets of mosaic bathroom tiles which combine metallic and flat finishes on a single sheet. If you’re the artistic type, you can make a big splash in your redecorating scheme by creating your own ‘picture’ or illustration in tile, much like creating an original needlepoint design – you sketch out your drawing and transfer the design to the wall – then begin laying your tiles.

Here’s one idea I found particularly humorous: some home decorator must have wanted to inspire the kids’ bathing routines with the message “wash behind your ears” written entirely in mosaic bathroom tiles. The letters were made of white tiles, presumably to stand out loud and clear, against a background of slate colored tiles.

Another imaginative way to add depth and dimension with mosaic bathroom tiles is to use glass tiles that create a convex appearance, that is, which appear to bulge outward. These tiles are available in a variety of geometric shapes, such as hexagonal. You can integrate a few of these tiles with others which are regular flat tiles for a jazzy effect that quickly dresses up the bathroom, artistically.

As mentioned earlier, those of you with an artistic bent – or flair – might try your hand at creating a panel depicting a vase of roses, or any other subject matter which appeals to you. The pictorial panel may be surrounded by ordinary colored tiles.

You can see that this type of redecorating project can be economical, fun, creative and visually stunning. The use of mosaic bathroom tiles is limited only by your imagination! And, do have fun!
