For centuries — millennia, even — decorative tiles have been a cornerstone of design, and few styles possess the timeless charm of mosaics. Dating back to Roman times, they pack a powerful sense of history, and done right, they're a powerful contemporary design tool, capable of adding texture, depth, and character to any space.
Yes, mosaics have had minor style blips over the years — see their questionable use in the 1990s and early 2000s — but decorating with tiles like these now is all about pushing boundaries. Mosaics are being used in fresh, exciting ways: zoning open-plan spaces, adding texture to walls, and bringing architectural interest to plainer properties.
