Mosaic

A mosaic is art made from an assemblage of flat stones, pebbles, clay tiles, or glass arranged to form patterns, words, or representational art.  It's an ancient and beautiful art form that you can now put anywhere in your home in the form of mosaic wallpaper.  Mosaic wallpaper is a beautiful and simple way to bring the look of ancient techniques into your favorite space.  Mosaic designs can be simple and abstract—so much so that you might not even know you're looking at mosaic at all.  But they can also be expressive and eye-catching, becoming a focal point in a room.  It's true that mosaic wallpaper styles can provide a variety of looks, from ancient to modern, but you can also choose mosaic style wallpaper because it looks great with your carpet, or just because you like it.

Historically, mosaics were especially popular in places where it was hot and dry.  Mosaic wallpapers and border designs often therefore call to mind places like Mexico, Spain, Italy, or South America.  But that doesn't mean you can't have mosaic wallpaper with a cool and refreshing feel.  While genuine mosaic art is fussy and notoriously difficult to create, mosaic wallpaper is anything but.  A vinyl mosaic border with a European feel will enhance the look of living rooms, kitchens, and adjoining hallways while being easy to hang and completely washable. 

Tile mosaics are especially well-suited to bathrooms, mud rooms, and basements.  But unlike the black-and-white patterns you may recall from childhood—today's mosaic wallpapers offer vibrant colors and unexpected patterns that highlight the uniqueness of your home.  Whether your goal is something rustic, elegant, or somewhere in between, you'll find that there's a mosaic wallpaper for every room and every taste.  With so many colors, patterns, and styles to choose from—the hardest part may be deciding on only one.
