Colors available in mosaic glass tiles seem limitless as a backsplash tile, bathroom tile and pool tile.
Mosaic glass tiles offer people the precise color needed to express the most subtle mood, recreate a historic style or period, or create a purely personal statement. The wide range of tints and tones of each hue can be arranged into convenient color palettes. The five most popular are: Pastels: At one end of the pastel palette, there are the atmospheric watery blues and greens. These are not “little girl” pastels. Sophisticated, serene and ethereal, they appeal to those creating a home as a haven or retreat. Their lighter color and reflective quality tend to make small spaces seem larger and are great to be used as a bathroom tile or backsplash tile – a plus in small rooms. Mosaic glass tiles in light colors also make the most available light a boon to rooms with little natural light.
At the opposite end of the pastel color palette are the most intensely colored tropical pastels that add warmth and a lively beat to bathrooms. Add to those colors special iridescent or metallic finishes and they become extraordinarily glamorous.
Neutrals: Off-whites, beiges and grays are identified with contemporary and modern interiors. These same colors also update traditional interiors. Neutral colors in reflective glass tile add more sparkle to flat interiors.
Gemstone or jewel tones mosaic tiles – mature secondary and tertiary colors – make strong definitive color statements as a backsplash tile, whether used for entire surfaces or as accents. These are being used in monochromatic and polychromatic color schemes. Iridescent and matte reds and rare purples have incredible depth and complexity.
Metallics: Metallics in gold, copper, bronze, silver and chrome work well in traditional and contemporary interiors as mosaic tiles for kitchen tile backsplash. When covering large areas they dazzle. As accents with glass or other tiles they add exciting flashes of brilliance.
Black and white: Timeless and classic, black and white tiles in both traditional and contemporary rooms create emphatic design statements made even more chic by the interplay of light. They can either be used alone or mixed beautifully with other mosaic glass tiles. Together, black and white tiles make a striking negative/positive design statement.
Mosaic glass tiles offer the designer great freedom of choice and a world of possibilities, ranging from simple mono-(one) to complex poly-(many) chromatic color schemes.
Your choices should depend on a combination of factors, including the architectural style, size and shape of the space. Historic style or period may influence color selection. However, the deciding factor probably will be the desired mood – warm or cool, playful or sedate, youthful or mature, casual or formal. Subway glass tile are very popular as a kitchen tile backsplash.
Regardless of the criteria of choice, color, the great illusionist, transforms dreams into realities. The first, more basic decision will be whether to stick with one color or select two or more from the many available.
Monochromatic schemes: Monotone or monochromatic color schemes are considered contemporary. Conventionally, contemporary and especially modern style interiors look to light, neutral colors. To update traditional or historic style or period interiors, try to make them seem more contemporary. Monochromatic schemes introduce a sense of order, calmness, and serenity. A cool light monotone makes a small room seem larger; a warm, intense hue seems to pull it together.
Combining a lighter tint and a darker tone of mosaic tiles creates a monochromatic scheme that adds interest as a kitchen backsplash tile. Introducing texture – which will be discussed later – also adds dimension to the one-color scheme.
