Mosaic trends in 2020 to look forward to as we say hello to a new decade
(4 min read) Mosaics bring a unique edge to interior design, with their endless potential, effortless durability and meticulous craftsmanship. It’s easy to see why these collections of tiny stones have won our hearts for millennia. This year promises some exciting style trends for the mosaic world, carrying on themes from the last decade of interior drama and bold, statement contrasts, to an eco-conscious craving for earthy, Zen spaces. It is clear that our spaces reflect our minds, and as political and environmental concerns continue to grow; our spaces reflect a shift in consciousness and ideals. What an interesting year is in store!
1. Making a statement with black and white contrasts
The interior design world has always walked in parallel to the fashion world and vice versa. Brave new ventures into new aesthetic worlds inspire us to push the boundaries of what has gone before and express ourselves in new, elegant and liberated ways. This year will see a continuation of brave geometric patterns, bold and zesty contrasts and truly dramatic interiors inspired by the drama of the 1920’s! Life is too short to not shout who you are from the rooftops!



2. All that glitters, is gold 😉
Gold is always in style, and the implementation of this luxurious shimmer into modern home accents always goes down a timeless treat. Take a look at gold making its ageless appearance in some captivating mosaics.


With wildfires, rising sea levels and extinction more rampant than ever, more people are embracing the natural world as something to protect, love and admire. This is not only seen in activism but in the way we choose to express in our homes, it seems that many people are favoring soft, natural materials and practicing mindful living in a less artificial and more earthy space. Natural materials provide us with a calm and reflective space; a place to remove ourselves from the all-consuming screens and daily worries and kick back in our own natural paradise. Themes include; natural colors, soft white and grey, and perfect imperfection.
3. Pebbles, pebbles, pebbles…
The natural uneven delight of pebbles is all the rage with this year’s natural vibe. Perfectly misshapen and randomly sized, they give a relaxed, organic feel to bathroom spaces.

4. Earthy browns — a true Zen palette
Bringing organic tones into the home mirrors the reflective quality of the outdoor world, no longer do you need to hike out to the mountains to find meditation space (although you totally should do this), but you can find a calm ambiance in soothing earthy shades in the comfort of your own home.



5. The natural allure of sandstone
Sandstone has been revered for years as a durable, beautiful earthy material, one that creates a gorgeous desert getaway vibe. Bringing sandstone into the home, particularly in the bathroom warms and softens the atmosphere, creating a luxurious, reflective bathing space.


Happy New Year, I hope you enjoy the mosaic beauty our new decade has to offer, and as always, happy mosaicking!

I’m loving these mosaics! Really quite a lovely addition to any space. I will absolutely be bookmarking this. Thank you!
These mosaics are gorgeous! They will indeed brighten up any room and give it the touch.
I really like the natural colors and the sandstone mosaics. But, at the same time, the contrasting ones look amazing and as a UCF alumni I really like the black and gold.
I love all of the gold and black. I wish I could be redoing my baths right now, but I am going to be moving soon. I will update the next house.
The black and gold ones are stunning! I’m loving the metallic trend!
I didn’ t realize before how beautiful mosaic can make furniture, make them stand out with the patterns.
I’m sorry I don’t have a house where I can let off steam with mosaics and where they would look good. I love them!
I love the geometric black and white theme with gold added. The triangle tiles in the bathroom are gorgeous. I’ll certainly be looking into more monochrome tones for my bathroom this year.

I agree that black and white contrasts make a statement. I particularly love the bathroom–luxurious and opulent are my words.
I love the stair step bathroom mosaic and the pebbles wall. What a fun way to change things up.
I love that first picture of the black and white in the bathroom. So different , but timeless at the same time!
I am not sure about it being a trend or not but black and white, with some contrast of gray is surely going to be ruling my house! 😀
Love the black and white mosaic, could stare at it all day.
I like the gray-colored mosaic tiles. It creates a fashion and yet homey-looking piece.
I’ve always loved the pebbles look. I think it looks better than the bulb ones I’ve seen everywhere.
Oh wow, in love with this new mosaic trend! I personally would prefer black & white contrast design or gold glittery mosaic pattern for my home 😍
I’m not really a fan of the black-and-white look in decorating – it’s generally too modern and bold for my tastes. BUT, interestingly, of all the trends you feature here, those are the ones I like the best! 🙂
I love the 1920s look for 2020! I have a bathroom and kitchen remodel coming in 2021 so these are great and timeless!
You have a good sense of modern design. As someone trying to be a minimalist, these looks amazing.
Love all the designs, especially the sandy ones and gold and black ones.
These designs are all amazing. I particularly like the kitchen and the dean. The artwork in the dean is lovely. will use some of these ideas when redecorating.

The standalone and the pebbles were my favorite. I love the new design trends!!!

Really great mosaics! So nice to see a nod to the classic with a modern twist in many of them.
I love the white and black contrast looks. It’s beautiful! This list was phenomenal
I like the look and I want to do this too! It’s definitely wonderful.

All of those mosaics look absolutely beautiful! I totally love some of them and would look great in our house as well.
Inspiring. It seems bold is the favored look. I don’t know how to feel about that since I am trying so hard to go for minimalism but the first one speaks to me, perhaps as an accent wall maybe?
The first one would look perfect as an accent wall for sure.
Beautiful Mosaics here, so much work involved in mosaics!
