Add a little more sparkle to your outdoor space or garden this summer with gorgeous and unique garden mosaic artwork and inspiration.
Just like the rest of the art world, mosaic art has fresh discoveries and trends every year. Here on our blog, we’ve talked about trends in color, directions in design, and even new historical discoveries. Each will influence the creativity of artists and designers in 2020 and beyond. It’s been an exciting year – let’s review the highlights! Image Source: Architectural Digest A major trend in all areas of design and specifically mosaic art is the use of natural textures and nature-inspired patterns. Drop the word “biophilia” into your conversation, and you’ll impress your friends! This build at Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs, designed by Modus Studio, was an award winner in 2019. Image Source: Uark.org This mosaic art soothing style has been a perfect fit for mosaic artists and designers. Since mosaic designs work in every type of environment, even outdoors, they can be utilized in endless ways. Image Source: Pinterest The key principles of this mosaic art look include botanical influences, natural stone textures, and the symmetry of seashell motifs and the Fibonacci spiral. Handmade by Mozaico Use any of these elements to blend the natural looks of nature and the outdoors into your own home. Kitchen Backsplash, Handmade by Mozaico. The Color of the Year Image Source Pantone Pantone announced their 2019 Color of the Year: Living Coral. As the eminent color forecasters and authorities suggest, this warm shade is on the cutting edge. Pantone’s color predictions affect all areas of creative expression. Casacor’s Miami Show House was a huge event this year. 25,000 square feet of the latest looks appeared during Art Basel, including all the latest in mosaic designs and mosaic wall art. We’ll be visiting more of these rooms later in this article. As you can see, the use of coral hues was front and center. Image Source: Architectural Digest Be prepared in your own home to embrace this color set. (After all, it is very flattering to everyone!) This panel would be stunning as a shower wall, in the garden, or installed in a series on any room’s wall. It comes in several sizes.

Celestial Influences Image Source: Pinterest As funding has allowed for restoration of important sites such as the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, they’ve been exposing heavenly hosts and skies. Starry themes have entered the world of mosaic wall art, as well. The Mausoleo di Galla Placidia in Ravenna, Italy is particularly inspirational. Image Source: Pinterest Blues are always soothing, and the azure tones of these celestially hued pieces are timeless. And, also forward-thinking. Here’s another mosaic art entry from the cutting-edge Casacor Show House. Image Source: Architectural Digest It might seem that the original scale of this inspiration art can be hard to achieve in your own home or garden. After all, these pieces were meant to awe the visitor, and evoke the limitless skies. However, consider its use – and don’t be afraid to go big, like in this room: Handmade by Mozaico. Find coordinating accessories and embrace the sparkle. The prevailing colors are deep and almost neutral. Remember, early mosaic art was lighted by candlelight, and meant to have its own shine and luminosity. Image Source: Pinterest The heavens weren’t just stars. Look for lunar influences everywhere. 2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing! No surprise, it’s also on our list of trends. Handmade by Mozaico. Even back in 3rd century Rome, these motifs were common. Man’s preoccupation with the heavens was never confined to churches. Ironically, this mosaic art piece is from the Vatican Museum, which had an exhibit celebrating the first Lunar Landing Mission. Image Source: Pinterest Fun fact: The Vatican Museums conserve fragments of lunar rock from the Apollo 11 expedition, as well as the Vatican City State flag taken into space by the astronauts. They’re on display in the Lower Galleries of the Vatican Museums today. Find your own full moon happiness in our catalog! Handmade by Mozaico New Finds 2019 was a big year for important historical mosaic art finds. Let’s recap a few of them, and explore how they will inspire mosaic designs. In Palestine, a mosaic depicting fish, birds, and baskets of what might be bread was uncovered near the Sea of Galilee. It may commemorate the historic location of the miracle recorded in the New Testament – or does it? The 6th century Byzantine mosaic art piece has provoked debate about its meaning, but the charmingly naive depictions of the referenced fauna fall into the color trends in coming years, as well as a trend for simple designs for kitchen and bath areas. Handmade by Mozaico In Germany, a Communist-era glass mosaic piece has been restored. Josep Renau’s Man’s Relationship to Nature and Technology was unveiled in December with much fanfare. More than 70,000 individual tiles were involved in the installation. Installation of the wall mosaic on Moscow Square, ErfurtThomas Wolf / Wüstenrot Foundation The Spanish artist had a style that is in tune with the botanical themes we talked about above. Look closely, and you can see how it pays homage to an ideal society in which nature nurtures human achievement and the two can co-exist harmoniously. Since the message wasn’t overtly political, the mural survived the transition after the Berlin Wall came down. Today, Renau’s piece seems cheerful and optimistic. The color scheme he used is absolutely on-trend for the coming years. Some of the color combinations you’ll see at design showcases have the zip of comic book art and the 1980s. Here’s the Art Basel take on the look. Image Source: Architectural Digest We love the idea. Bright colors and glass mosaic wall art are an amazing way to get ahead of the design trends. Handmade by Mozaico Use them prominently, as a focal point. Kitchen backsplashes, fireplaces, and solarium walls will look fantastic with these pops of color. As a bonus, it’s hard to be glum around this sort of installation. Here’s a large mosaic glass art piece, setting the colors off. Image Source: Architectural Digest Handmade by Mozaico Our last featured 2019 discovery in mosaic art is from Pompeii. As part of the Great Pompeii Project, a house was unearthed with a well-preserved mosaic tile floor. One section features Orion, and the other shows some mysterious tools. These were not of the type usually depicted in the art of that time. Archaeologists believe that they are actually surveyor’s tools, called Groma. These resembled a plumb and bob line. Actual depictions of the Groma from that period didn’t exist. As these findings trickle out into the mainstream, expect to see more wonderful depictions of regular Pompeiian life in modern mosaic art. Each year brings new insight and works on display. Handmade by Mozaico We’re Going to Disneyland! Image Source: Disney Parks We’re going to close out our 2019 recap with a bit of fun. Disney and mosaic art don’t always pair up in one’s mind, but it can’t be denied that their global empire is always on-trend. Every movie, every theme park, and every magical travel destination is carefully planned out, down to the smallest details. We’re of course delighted that their brand-new Riviera Resort has some incredible mosaic installations. Disney provided a sneak peek on their blog this month. The new mosaic wall art can be seen on the walkway tunnels in the Orlando resort. Image Source: Disney Parks With a common theme of flight, visitors will see the lantern scene from the Rapunzel movie, as well as a night scene from Peter Pan. These are large installations, utilizing more than a million tile pieces for the Rapunzel piece. Isn’t the arch effect lovely? Image Source: Disney Parks What does this mean for mosaic art? We say that this installation will be inspirational to the thousands of visitors who will pass by it weekly. The memory of glowing colors and flight theme will be carried home. We encourage everyone to add the magic of mosaic art to your lives. Find a mosaic design that brings you joy in our catalog, and place it where you can see it often.

Bohemian home interior style is popular, no doubt about it. It lends itself to the multi-cultural world we live in, and reflects a more relaxed aesthetic that appeals to just about anyone. It’s also positioned on the opposite end of the spectrum from the modern homes we’ve also looked at here in our blog. Mosaic art is totally compatible with the colorful, funky feel of boho style. In a home where pattern is celebrated, it can add another layer of texture and shine that fits in perfectly. On the other hand, it can be used to make certain design elements really pop, providing just the right background, or enhancing one or more colors. It can also be used to cool things down a bit, using softer tones and textures to complement wood, pottery, or other rustic pieces. It even roams right on out into the garden, looking zesty among the foliage. You don’t need to embrace the look in every room – even smaller accents will add a lot. Let’s check out some of the most inspiring ideas to bring mosaic art into your life. Look Down For Mosaic Style Inspiration The rich details and colors of Oriental rugs provide a lot of the overall look in this footloose world of free spirits. There’s no problem with stacking colors and patterns. The rugs you see may be well-loved, hung on a wall, or even spread out on a lawn or patio. Image from Pinterest The blues of the Mediterranean sea are woven into this mosaic tile pattern that’s inspired by Persian carpets. Here’s a perfect example of adding just one big accent to keep the boho style going from room to room. The bed linens stay simple. Image from Freshome Here, the concept of a rug runner is used to center the bathtub on a field of terra-cotta and blue tones. All the effect of an intricately woven piece is still there but in a water-friendly environment. Image from BCT If you’re not quite ready to haul one of your favorite wool rugs out into the elements, you can also get the look with mosaic rugs. Here, a pebble mosaic piece provides a visual gateway into the patio area. With its sturdy construction, it can handle rain, foot traffic, and the occasional washing down with a hose. Image from Pinterest You can easily get this look in your sunroom or pool area with one of our flower design carpet glass mosaic artwork. Here, brilliant Chinese reds and have all the casual opulence of a luxurious carpet, but without the worries about spills, shedding, or stains. Flower Design Carpet Glass Mosaic by Mozaico Home of Many Colors A concerted effort to bring color into every corner of the home is a big part of bohemian style. There might be an unspoken goal to have the look of a gypsy caravan or to incorporate all the hues from a beloved tie-dyed t-shirt. With the unlimited range available in mosaic designs, it’s perfect for accenting any room. This kitchen uses a wide range of colors to cheerful effect, as it complements a collection of Fiestaware dishes and blown glass artwork. The larger tiles provide functional countertop space, while the accent tiles provide a sense of movement along the backsplash. The colors contrast, but are all in harmony with the red accent wall. Image from HGTV This Moroccan-inspired bath throws a lot of colors at you, but it’s quite glamorous. There are several notable examples of mosaic wall art here that can be used for inspiration. Note the smaller tiles on the countertop, the arch-shaped inlays in the shower stall, and the fine details of the wall insets. It’s a fun space that would make any morning cheery. Image from RSYnews Here’s another room with no fear of color. With the brightly painted woodwork, it could be a caravan out on the road. Although the walls have wide sweeps of color, notice how the bathroom mosaic tile details pull it all together and bring out the careful chosen pottery pieces on display. Image from Pinterest Out in the garden of another home, this totem accent is a creative way to use old flowerpots for a piece that provides a focal point. The free-form style of the mosaic designs references mosaic flowers and trees, and mosaic butterflies and birds. Having an eclectic piece like this definitely indicates to visitors that the garden owners have a sense of fun and whimsy that’s essential to bohemian style. Image from Pinterest If your sense of boho style loves color, but your living space is small, there are some crafty ways to sneak a sense of adventure into your home. Here, this mosaic wall art enlivens a simple alcove area with a shelf in a mudroom. The simple small basin on the natural wood doesn’t take away from the fun of the wall art. Image from Pinterest Icons of All Kinds There are a few elements in the big, diverse world of bohemian style that tend to pop up. Sometimes an artist, sometimes a pop-cultural reference, but they just keep appearing from year after year, with no regard for room or decade. Frida Kahlo, the Mexican artist, has grown only more famous since her untimely death. Her striking appearance and unconventional life still inspire new generations in their decor. Image from Pinterest So, it’s not that unusual that she’s a fixture in human figures mosaics. Her image is seen here on a mosaic tile tray, supporting all the needs for the type of festive occasions she painted. Image from HGTV Frida can grace your home in a piece of mosaic art that captures her rebellious nature and charisma so well. She’d be a great host for any of your outdoor activities on the deck. It’s not surprising that the Fab Five made the list of celebrated boho icons. The Fab Five lived the lifestyle before many decorators were even born. Their style and musical catalog are still classic elements in the happy eclectic style we’re celebrating. In this amazing bath, the Yellow Submarine makes an appearance, with a floor-to-ceiling mosaic art extravaganza representing the Ocean Blue. Image from Pinterest You can set up your own homage to everyone’s favorite singalong with the right underwater scene and some yellow fixtures. All you need is the right nautical mosaic art. Wabasso Coastal Beach Mosaic Art by Mozaico Or, honor the legacy of John Lennon with the simple message taken from his song “Imagine”. Imagine II Modern Mosaic Medallion by Mozaico Seeing Patterns in Everything The prevalence of patterns in this decorating style is what makes it so interesting. It’s not just the swirl of paisley or the intricacies of woven tapestries and complicated motifs. It’s the way it’s mixed with easy generosity, creating comfortable spaces. The right patterns can evoke faraway places and inspire conversation. This glorious conservatory in Istanbul is a master class on pattern mixing. The tiles, upholstery, pillows, and pottery all have their own motifs – but it all works together. This has been accomplished through a well-coordinated color palette that carries through all the different patterns. The terra-cotta floor pavers and the white marble water feature and tabletop are key to grounding it all with neutrals. Image from Deringhall Here’s another example of a wild pattern that works. The entire wall of this Mexican resort is covered in a crazy quilt of tile motifs. It removes any doubt that this space is meant for serious business – it’s all about the eclectic, relaxed vibe here. Image from Freshome This bathroom needs no further embellishment. There’s just a simple sink, and a groovy lantern to set off the red in the checkered floor. Both easy to care for and bursting with wild abandon, it reminds anyone bathing that they just might be on a holiday in Marrakesh. Really, this form of escapism and wanderlust are a key part of this sort of style. Image from Pinterest You can get the same feel of exotic escapism by outfitting your room with a groovy motif like a paisley mosaic pattern that looks like it was plucked from the wall tapestries of a Raja’s palace. Paisley Handmade Mosaic Pattern by Mozaico Just Leaf it to Mosaic Tiles No self-respecting modern gypsy soul would have a home without plant life. From exotic foliage to vines and flowers, it’s all a key part of the aesthetic – indoors and outdoors. It’s no wonder that the love of the natural world has crept into the mosaic art choices in bohemian style homes, as well. Greeting anyone who walks by, this wonderful use of mosaic wall art highlights the unique octagonal shape of the window. It looks fantastic against the neutral stucco of the home’s walls. A variety of tile shapes gives it a handcrafted feel that is appealing. Image from Pinterest A loose and flowing style is the hallmark of the bathroom mosaic tile used around this tub. The backsplash portrays a garden done in a charming naive style, and the theme is carried out on the smaller tiles that rim the tub. The ficus tree looks perfectly at home in this little corner of paradise. Image from Pinterest This unique bench is outside, and exemplifies several parts of boho style, in addition to its bright flowers that line the back. The colors are blended together with exuberance, the setting looks comfortable and inviting, and the pattern mix continues onto the patio tiles and the end table. Who wouldn’t want to sit down for some relaxed conversation in this spot? Image from Urban Gardens Web The sunny kitchen here brings on the boho with natural wood counters, the relaxed look of open shelving, and a floral motif as a kitchen mosaic backsplash. It’s a great counterpoint to the soft eggshell blue tones of the paint and the fresh herb plants enjoying the light. Image from Housessive Adding the botanical motif to your boho design plans is easy. There are hundreds of options, but you might want to start with a large piece like this olive tree mosaic art. The colors will blend with your succulent collection and vines, and inspire your decorating choices in the rest of the room. Olive Tree Mosaic Art Tile by Mozaico Just remember, Bohemian style is about eclectic choices that share your personality and life with the world. There’s no particular color scheme, no limits, and no end to the fun that you’ll have put it all together.
