1. Embrace a Marble Collection

Our stone collections include a wealth of tile sizes, shapes and trim pieces so you can get an refined all-over marble look. This elegant bathroom features Calacata Evora marble throughout. The effect is a splendid space that will make your daily bathroom routine feel like a trip to the spa.

2. Mix Marble with Travertine

Mixing marble with other natural stone, such as travertine, is an excellent way to add visual texture to your space. This beautiful bathroom features a combination of Arctic White marble and Claros Silver travertine. The expressive details and veining inherent to the natural stone add to the richness of this space that integrates elements of “traditional” and “contemporary” design. If you love this look, read our comprehensive guide to “transitional design” for more ideas.

3. Add Elegance with a Waterjet Mosaic

High-powered water jets are used to create intricate, curved designs in marble resulting in these gorgeous mosaics. The Havana with White Nacre Stone tile shown here features gorgeous grey marble with mother-of-pearl floral details for a feminine and highly decorative look. Perfect either alone or paired with a matching marble tile, a waterjet mosaic tile will add charm and grace to your space.

4. Add Drama with Rich Veining

The expressive veining of the Macchia Vecchia tile used in this grand bathroom, designed by Nikki Chu, creates dramatic movement throughout this space. Though this tile is marble-look porcelain, the multiple tile faces provide variation, giving it a realistic appearance. The porcelain tile is paired with the Calacata Evora marble floor for a richly opulent space. For more of Nikki Chu’s fashion-forward room designs, check out this home tour.

6. Create an Enviable Space with Green Marble

Marble comes in many colors and can display dramatic or subtle veining. Here the opulent emerald tones of the Gem by Alison Victoria tile create a chic shower space. We love how the green shade of the wall tile is complemented with the green veining in the marble-look tile in the shower niche.

7. Win the Design with a Checkerboard Pattern

An intricate mosaic not only adds beauty and interest to any space, it can also add traction to your bathroom or shower floors, helping prevent slippage. The Modena tile used on this chic shower features marble cut in diamond-shaped mosaic pieces. The effect is a lovely, unique and practical design.

13. Showcase Your Favorite Marble in a Shower Niche

If all-over marble isn’t your style (or isn’t in your budget), you can showcase a favorite tile in a smaller format by using it in a shower niche. The leaf-shaped Elia Polished by Alison Victoria tile, shown here, creates an elegant moment in this chic shower.

Bathrooms

Want a bathroom that makes a statement? A bathroom that rejuvenates you like a resort spa, one your friends and family can’t help but compliment? A mosaic, whether it covers all four walls or just a shower niche, is sure to impress. Here are some of our favorite show-stopping mosaic tile bathroom design ideas that are sure to spark inspiration for your next addition or remodel.

Costa Emerald

This mosaic is nature enhanced! The brilliant jewel tones add a touch of glamour to the simple leaf-shaped tile. This tile creates a bold aesthetic when applied to walls and floors, but if you find that a bit overwhelming, try using it for a backsplash, accent wall or shower niche. For lighter, more blueish tones, try Costa Aegean.

Firenze Carrara and Black Marquina

One of the great things about mosaics is their versatility. If you like two colorways, you can mix them to create your own pattern like Beginning in the Middle did here with Firenze Carrara and Black Marquina hexagon mosaic. This polka dot pattern is unexpected and chic.

Imperial Hex

Want to try more custom patterns? Our Imperial collection comes in a wealth of colors, and these hex mosaics are perfect for mixing and matching. This custom hex floral pattern by The Gold Hive makes for an absolutely delightful bathroom floor.

Grey Pebble

Looking for mosaic tile shower design ideas? The Grey Pebble mosaic creates a relaxing, spa-like experience. The raised pebbles will massage your feet and give you extra traction. The neutral colors create a soothing, calming environment.

Laura Ashley Leaf Cloud Blue

Sometimes when it comes to a mosaic, less is more. If you’re afraid a bold-patterned mosaic will overwhelm your bathroom, you can create a beautiful, unexpected moment with a shower niche. The Laura Ashley Leaf mosaic adds a stunning pop of color and whimsy to this white-tiled shower wall.

Kitchen

Mosaics make for marvelous kitchen backsplashes, accent walls and floors. Add a pop of color, a beautiful black-and-white pattern, or a stunning and luxurious marble mosaic. For more kitchen inspiration, check out these kitchen backsplash ideas.

Bardot Grey

The grey marble and curved chevrons of the Bardot Grey are the epitome of elegance. The subtle movement of the shapes will instantly elevate any space, whether it’s a kitchen backsplash, shower wall or bathroom vanity.

Hex Matte White with Black Flower

One thing we love about hexagons is their versatility. Add a touch of whimsy to your room with the Hex Matte White with Black Flower pattern, or create your own–we have a wealth of hexagon tiles in a variety of materials and colors.

Victoria Grey Braxtyn

A mosaic can add dimension to your space. The multi-colored marbles used for the Victoria Grey Braxtyn make this tile appear as if it’s popping up from the wall. We love how this simple grey and white mosaic pairs with the stainless steel and white elements in this kitchen, but it could also look stunning next to a bold, dark color.

Sampson Mosaic

The Sampson Mosaic with its geometric basketweave pattern creates a stunning moment on this kitchen wall. The tumbled marble gives this kitchen an earthy but elegant feel, perfect for an elevated country kitchen design.

Bar

These mosaic masterpieces are bar goals! From chic Art Deco arches to fun plays on the classic mirrored bar wall, pull up a stool and raise a glass to these chic and inviting designs.

Lalique

Art Deco designs are having a moment, and we couldn’t be happier! The Lalique marble mosaic embodies the ornate, geometric design made popular in the flapper era. This tile is especially stunning in the arched space above this bar but can be used anywhere you want to add vintage glamour.

Gem by Alison Victoria

Gem by Alison Victoria lives up to its name–this tile is a gem! The deep-green, scalloped marble features subtle veining for extra movement and allure. This is the perfect tile for a backsplash.

Skyline Vintage Patina

The simple lines of the Skyline Vintage Patina mosaic create great geometric allure. We love how the simple black-and-white pattern, reminiscent of Art Deco style, complements the wood shelving on this accent wall.

Antique Mirror Bevel

Charming and chic, modern and timeless, the Antique Mirror Bevel mosaic tile makes this bar the perfect place to gather with friends. If you’re loving this design, discover more of in our West Bay Homes’ Sun Coast Estate Home Tour.

The post 12 Mosaic Tile Designs That Will Make Your Room a Masterpiece appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

What inspired the overall look and design for Refined Rustic?

“Tile is always my starting point. It’s the first item I select for a home, and it sets the tone,” Julie said. “The Annie Selke tile used in the basement bath and the laundry room were just introduced by The Tile Shop, and I loved them. They are what set the tone.”

Eye-Catching Entrance

The entrance of your home should set the tone, and Timber Trails did exactly that. The black features, warm wood flooring and courageous wallpaper greet you with open arms.

Dining Room

Behold, the grand dining room. This stunning space is Julie’s favorite room in the entire house. “It is the first thing you see when you walk in. I love that the white paneled walls are offset by the black ceiling,” Julie said.

“When people see a design and say, ‘I never would have done that, but I love it.’ That’s when you know you’ve done your job as a designer.”—Julie Howard, designer for Timber Trails DC

The hallways in this home stretch as far as the eye can see, connecting you to countless uniquely designed rooms that stimulate and inspire.

Laundry Room

“We used Annie Selke Ikat Black in the laundry room because, to me, a laundry room should be fun. It doesn’t need to match the rest of the house because half of the time the door is closed,” Julie said. “Plus, who enjoys laundry? It’s nice to design a laundry room that makes you smile when you enter.”

“I’ve never been scared of black. I painted my first adult bedroom black 20 years ago, and it is still my favorite room I’ve ever designed,” Julie said. “It’s certainly caught on over the years as I’m seeing it on more walls and in more kitchens and baths. Black doesn’t date, and you don’t tire of it.”

Victoria Grey Bath

Victoria Grey marble defines luxury. Its versatility and stunning appeal makes it perfect for numerous styles. We especially love the eye-catching stone mosaic rug look framed by Victoria Grey stone.

Kitchen

While the tumbled marble softens the space for a traditional feel, the accents of white oak warm up the kitchen for rustic, farmhouse appeal. The sleek counter tops and appliances are incorporated for a flair of contemporary style. What do you get when you unite these amazing designs? The always trendy transitional style.

If the space wasn’t already perfect enough, the added elements of hygge, like greenery and wood features, add in the perfect sense of comfort. Read our blog post on what makes Scandinavian looks so chic!

Living Room

As a member of our Pro Network, Timber Trails DC has maintained a strong and meaningful partnership with the Lombard, IL location and store manager, Kevin. Together, Timber Trails DC and Kevin have completed over 40 homes!

“We have a great push and pull. He keeps me in check when I tend to go too far, and he’s on top of everything down to each tile I need,” Julie said. “Kevin makes me feel like I’m his only client, which is great when you call in a bind, which I often do!

Master Bath

Siberian Pearl marble accompanied by deep black and gold features—dramatic elegance at its finest!

“The marble in the master is so pretty because it is a white marble, but it has a lot of warm tones in it and is different than a white and grey Carrara marble,” Julie said.

Master Bedroom

Jack & Jill Vanity

How charming is this beach-inspired Jack and Jill bath? The repetition of the wood-look tiles on the wall and floor create such a pleasing, cohesive look.

Basement Bath

We end this home tour with one of our favorite spaces in the house: the basement bathroom. This space encompasses the three colors that are used throughout the house: black, white and brown.

We love the juxtaposition between the black and white features in this bathroom. While the patterned floor tile proudly catches your eye, the shower tiles contrast the bohemian pattern with a classic, solid-white subway. Notice the black grout lines in the shower—darker colored grouts create more character and add a more pronounced look to the grout joints.

A unique manufacturing process is required as it is not possible get these interesting, unique and curved shapes from traditional cutting methods. A computerized machine that has multiple heads uses a high pressured stream of water mixed with fine sand particles to cut through the stone. The cutting technique uses as much of each piece of stone as possible, which is another reason we absolutely love these exquisite mosaics. After the cuts are made, the individual pieces are collected, cleaned off and set aside to dry before being assembled by hand into the final mosaic pattern. To get a glimpse into this unique process, check out the video below!

These versatile mosaics can be used on the floor or wall and are typically made of stone. Unlike the majority of mosaics, however, the waterjet cutting process gives the option of curved or softer lines while promoting sustainability by using the most of each material. The photo below featuring Monroe Marquina displays the intricate details of these beautiful mosaics.

Wainscot Wallpaper Effect

Wainscoting is typically referred to as the covering of the lower half of a wall using wooden paneling. Integrate a modern take on wainscoting by using an accent tile on the top half of your wall and a coordinating tile on the bottom half for style and warmth.

The photo below features a softly curved chevron waterjet mosaic achieving a wallpaper effect on the upper half of the wall, and subway tile wainscot on the bottom half. These universal tiles are highly mixable, so don’t be afraid to mix and match with materials other than stone, such as glass or porcelain. Layer in the details and watch your living space come to life.
