7 Different Mosaic Art ideas for redecorating your home

This is for those who want things done the traditional way. In classical mosaic art, stones like graphite are broken and cut into smaller pieces to create the whole image. This takes a long time and gives the most authentic mosaic image.

Handmade mosaic art

In this artwork, you will have to use glass and tile as your material, slowly and carefully cutting and shaping them to size in accordance with the image you have in mind. Although this can take a long while, it will allow you to customise your image- or at least the colour pattern for it- in whichever way you like. You will have more control over the process of the artwork.

Industrial mosaic art

When it comes to the world of creating mosaic art, this is a budget option. The tiles and chips are arranged in simple patterns with not a lot of detail. This is perfect for those who are not very particular about their design schemes and want some mosaic art done on a tight budget.

Personalised ceramic inserts

These are simply ceramic inserts which are introduced to a surface to freshen up its look. This actually works quite well for those who do not want to rework their floor with mosaic but still want it to look slightly different. 

Organic mosaic art

For the eco-friendly homeowners, there is organic mosaic art, which is done with materials such as limestone and marble. It is possible to create natural designs- often concerned with the environment- with these stones.

Glass mosaic art

Glass mosaic art can be done using vitreous glasses in different colours. This is fairly inexpensive to procure and easy to cut and shape, which makes it a brilliant choice for mosaic designs. Glass mosaics are perfect for installing in compact rooms since they give an illusion of a larger space.
