The vintage tile design has many homeowners interested and so does the rustic approach that inspires with open spaces amidst the crowded lives we live today. Floral designs are also attractive and occupy many areas. An imaginary world, perhaps, with cartoon characters that the youngest will surely like.

The difference is between commercial manufactured art and authentic reproductions made by hand with a mold in the exact shape required. Going back has its advantages. The vintage is in high demand, although the patterns can also come from modern cultures.

Ethnic concerns drive tourists from around the world to not only look at the spectacular sights, but also to build bridges with native cultures. That is the reason why such ethnic clothing is sold all over the world and is inspired by the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe as some prominent examples. Everything that is new and unknown immediately attracts attention and curiosity.

A mosaic resembling frescoes.
Give life and color to the walls with handmade tiles! The eyes and the senses, the emotions and feelings must be tired after decades of looking at dumb and lifeless walls. Although many prefer monochromatic walls and floors, aren’t we all tired of grays and browns, whites and yellows? Even if you like minimalist settings, perhaps they could apply to some parts of the home, such as the office space.

Textile artists also create mosaic designs as the purpose is similar. The patterns and colors are carefully printed on the handmade tiles. The more complicated patterns would also be painted by hand. Glass and ceramic are two materials that could create a wide variety of beautiful hand-painted tile designs. Like all kinds of crafts, they will not be exact replicas of each other.

The same principles that apply to ceramics are carefully imprinted on the tiles. The result is a wonderful world that expands the imagination. Visualize each day spent in that glorious presence. If you’ve admired such settings in businesses, airports, and malls, a bit of that heaven could settle in at home, perhaps in the living room.

Decide on the location and extent of the handcrafted tiles you want to install around the home. Nature and wildlife, the surreal and human worlds are all possible. Glazed murals decorate many chapters of public life, such as around fountains and in advertisements. Use them indoors or outdoors. They would create a stunning setting around fireplaces and on countertops and backsplashes, perhaps in the pool area as well.
