​Interior design fans will know that even as trends come and go, tile remains a top versatile decor element that can breathe life into any space in a home, especially if you go beyond tile’s go-to spot on a bathroom floor. And as much as we love tried-and-true subway tile, with so many unique color schemes and patterns to choose from, there’s nothing like a vibrant tile design to showcase your personality in a space.

Whether you’re looking to refresh a kitchen backsplash or add some flair to your entryway, we’ve got you covered. Redfin reached out to us and other tile experts from Tucson, AZ, all the way to Markham, ON, for unique tile ideas that you can incorporate into your home interior. Here's our tip on how you can mix things up and create a one-of-a-kind look in your home. 

This is not truly a mosaic, but it looks like one!  It's a great way to use textured and patterned CLEAR art glass, as well as other scraps and tesserae. The foundation is actually a collage. Then, clear art glass is shaped and glued to enhance the image. Finally, the piece is grouted in one or more colors.

Watch the cloudy white glue (Weldbond). This took almost 10 days to dry clear. SO, it can be used but clear glue allows you to work faster.

Make sure you really look at the final image here and work backwards.  This comment is for all you OCD folks - you do not need to worry about spaces covered with grout lines and colors do not need to be lined up perfectly with the art glass.
