Kitchens deserve a big dose of style, just like the rest of your home. As today’s popular open floor plans highlight this part of your home, you’ll be intrigued with our list of the most beautiful mosaic kitchen tile ideas! While it may seem difficult to add a strong focal point or accent to a utilitarian space, mosaic designs are ideal. They’re both easy to maintain and very durable.

It may be difficult to visualize just how a mosaic kitchen tile backsplash would look in a home. With all the different styles and themes that you can work with, you might find it a bit overwhelming. We’ll cover the types of mosaic art that you can incorporate into your new kitchen look, with some real-life examples – not to mention some great inspiration.

A Bit of Simple and a Dash of Complex

When you think of mosaic wall art, it’s likely to resemble a painting. It’s true: our catalog is packed full of beautiful depictions from flora to fauna and ornate patterned looks. The kitchen below sports our Moroccan Lemon Tree design behind the sink – finely detailed and as bright as an open window.

This type of design is fantastic to fill up an otherwise blank wall space, or to help create a focal point in an area that lacks one. Many new kitchens are just filled with white cabinets that look clean and crisp – but a little blah. The right mosaic design can do a lot of the heavy lifting that’s needed to liven up the room.

Here’s a great example below: the details of the individual mosaic tiles and the textures combine, spicing up the white kitchen.

Simple mosaic designs can also serve as perfect style accents for your kitchen. They work well with subway tile kitchen backsplashes – you know – the ones that are so popular right now? “Simply” select some art that pulls together the colors of cabinets, walls, counters, or paint. As you can see below, this concept works beautifully!

Here’s another example of a simple geometric design that centers the space and uses the colors of the granite counters and surrounding tile to make an elegant statement.

Additionally, a decorative mosaic tile border is a way to add interest to your backsplash. Coordinate it with a bolder centerpiece design, or use it as a counterpoint under cabinets. Look closely at this border, and you’ll notice that it matches the paint and the graining in the marble counters perfectly.

What’s Your Style?

No matter what your personal preferences or decorating style, there’s a mosaic design to help you express it in your kitchen! We’ve discussed style and design trends in our previous blogs: now, let’s look at ideas for your space.
