Looking for something unusual for your new kitchen or renovation? Consider the practical beauty of handmade mosaics for a unique touch. Mosaic medallions placed on your backsplash, walls, tabletops or floors offer the beauty of one-of-a-kind handcrafted artwork and the practicality of wipe-clean surfaces.

Mosaic medallions come in a wide variety of sizes, colors, patterns and motifs, suitable for almost any kitchen design, from sleek ultra-modern to warm classic designs. Mosaics can be made from a variety of materials, including marble, slate, glass, or combinations of materials. By nature, mosaics are made up of many, many pieces of this material formed into unlimited patterns and designs.

Dean Avey of Artisan Mosaics in Toronto notes that, “Our mosaics are created from thousands of tiny, hand-cut marble pieces. They’re backed with a sturdy mesh for easy transportation and installation.”

Mosaic medallions or marble rugs offer unique flooring alternatives for kitchens and dining rooms. Laid on ceramic tile or hardwood floors, mosaic tiles create the feel of carpet in these high-traffic areas. Unlike carpets and rugs, mosaic tile allows homeowners easy cleanup and eliminates tripping hazards. Much like an area rug, floor tiles can help delineate space in open-concept settings.

Mosaic medallions can also be placed on breakfast tables or bars, on walls, and in picture frames as practical and unique art forms for your kitchen and many other areas of the home as well. Whatever the application, the mosaics will add a touch of class to your decoration.
