Today’s interior designers in New York City have turned the spotlight on bathrooms with exciting new approaches to fixtures, furnishings, lighting, and surface treatments. One of the most exciting innovations in bathroom flooring and walls can be found in Mosaic Glass Tile. Unlike ceramic and stone tile, glass has a totally contemporary, translucent look that can’t be duplicated.

Glass mosaics are available in an exciting variety of styles and almost unlimited color options. Let’s take a look at eight contemporary designs.
