Part 2: Home Exterior Spaces<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(2 min read) <\/strong>Due to their weather-resistant nature mosaics are an ideal option to add color and magic to any outdoor settings. So let\u2019s explore some of these options, starting with the front of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br>

ENTRANCE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Start by asking yourself what you would like your visitors to experience when walking up to your front door. Certainly, there are better options than a concrete porch or patio and bare walls. How about meeting them with a mosaic instead? Placed next to or above your front door it is sure to make an impression! What kind of impression depends on the theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Beautiful

Selecting a highly classical motif evokes the splendors of ancient villas and will make your guests feel like they traveled back in time. A tumbled finish achieved by mixing the tiles with sand and grit will enhance the distinguished \u201cantique\u201d look. This effect can be particularly stunning if incorporated in a contemporary facade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Floral

A playful theme will cheer up your guests as you invite them in. You can enhance the whimsical look with a \u201ccrazy cut\u201d achieved by placing the rough (cut) edge of the tile piece upwards instead of on the side which gives the mosaic a three-dimensional look and feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Stunning

An adventurous theme will provide an energetic welcome to your guests. Answering the door in a pirate outfit may be slightly overdoing it though. There are of course many other themes to choose from ranging from urban to exotic. Whichever one you choose will immediately set the mood\u2026and the discussion topics with your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/h3>

PATIOS AND BACKYARDS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From a serene retreat to \u201cadventure zone\u201d, a mosaic can enhance a courtyard\u2019s feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Outdoor
(Mosaic Design\u00a0in the photograph was provided by\u00a0Mosaics Lab<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here the mosaic adds a dramatic focal point to an unadorned space by carrying the surrounding colors into the scene and bringing the wall to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Perfect
(Mosaic rug in the photograph was provided by\u00a0Mosaics Lab<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A floral patterned\u00a0mosaic art<\/a><\/strong> was used to extend the garden into the patio space. The abstract geometrical pattern introduces a more formal element to the surrounding vegetation.Don\u2019t forget that for functional exterior spaces like outdoor kitchen and fireplaces,\u00a0mosaic art<\/strong> are as striking as a decorative element as their indoor counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/h3>

WATER FEATURES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mosaics can add life to the bottom of a fountain or theme to its backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POOL AREA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like for patios, mosaics can add flavor to a bland cement floor. Place the mosaic near the pool and it will be reflected in the water, tying the two spaces together. Place it at the bottom of the pool and you\u2019ll be swimming with dolphins, mermaids or if you\u2019re more daring, giant Kraken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
