10 Reasons Why Luxury Mosaic Backsplash Art Will Add a Touch of Elegance to Your Kitchen
Welcome to WatchMojo.com and today we’ll be counting down our top 10 picks for anime betrayals.
Just kidding!
This is not Watch Mojo and we won’t be talking about anime.
I DO, however, want to give you a top 10 list of things concerning a subject I think is very important.
If you guessed that I’d be talking about mosaic backsplash art, you’re absolutely correct!
Mosaics are basically just images and patterns made by arranging smaller tiles.
And they’re great!
So here are just a few of my main reasons for why mosaic backsplash art is amazing for your kitchen.
Reason #1: Functionality
First and foremost, the main purpose of the backsplash is a utilitarian one.
It’s right there in the name “back-splash” and it means that the purpose is to protect the wall from damage that can be caused by water, grease, sauce splatters, and other things splashing back onto it.
It doesn’t take much imagination to see how your beautiful kitchen wall can be endangered by a flying chunk of grease or some frying oil.
The grease stains seem to appear all over the wall like magic, especially if you have a small child like I do.
Pro tip: I strongly advise against letting small children “help” make dinner.
So-called “cooking time with daddy” might sound like a cute idea at first, but I can’t even begin to describe what the kitchen looks like afterwards!
Just have the little ones help with washing the dishes instead.
Having some water and soap on your walls is much more preferable.
Trust me :)
Fortunately, the kitchen backsplash is here to save the day regardless!
Once you’ve got yourself a nice mosaic backsplash on the wall, you won’t have to worry about those awful yellow wall-stains anymore and your kitchen wall will thank you.
Reason #2: Low Maintenance
Chances are your kitchen will get dirty.
That’s just a fact of life even if you took my advice from earlier.
The nice thing about having a kitchen backsplash, however, is that there won’t be a need for you to scrub like crazy to restore a sense of cleanliness.
Our kitchen mosaic backsplashes are low maintenance and you can rest assured they’ll be looking great no matter what cooking adventures you may embark upon.
Just wipe the water off of the backsplash surface with a microfiber cloth and you’ll be back in business in no time!
Reason #3: Aesthetics
I’d like you to take a look at this picture.
Doesn’t it look more aesthetically pleasing than if the walls were plain?
Alright, but what if peacocks and tree branches aren’t your thing?
How about something like this instead?
You see, no matter what your personal tastes may be, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll find something that you like.
The beauty of mosaic art is that it’s very flexible and looks much more visually appealing than a plain wall.
Of course, if you DO just want some plain white tile instead, that’s not a problem either.
Reason #4: Damage Resistance
A mosaic backsplash is very durable.
Once it has been installed, it’s pretty dang hard to damage it.
Some people worry that the kitchen mosaic backsplash will crack from the stove heat, but it won’t.
Quality mosaic tile can withstand both high and low temperatures, as well as rapid changes in the temperature.
And they’re thermal shock resistant too!
But even if something crazy happens and your mosaic backsplash gets chipped or damaged somehow, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem to just replace that one small piece.
Not much else to say here.
Mosaic backsplashes are pretty tough. #facts
Reason #5: Colors Won’t Fade
I suppose this reason could also be related to damage resistance, but it’s so important that I decided to put it into its own separate category.
A lot of people worry about the color of the mosaic tile fading over time.
It won’t!
Let me say that again.
The color of the kitchen backsplash mosaic tile will NOT fade over time.
So don’t worry.
Did I mention that mosaic backsplashes are tough?
Yeah, they’re pretty tough.
Moving on…
Reason #6: Variety of Materials
Ceramic, stone, marble, glass, porcelain and much more.
There are lots of different options to choose from when creating a backsplash.
Not to mention all of the various material combinations that you can come up with.
When it comes to the level of design options and customizability, a mosaic backsplash is fantastic!
So treat your kitchen backsplash wall like a canvas and let your imagination run wild!
Reason #7: Creativity
Speaking of imaginations running wild, there’s virtually no limit to what can be created.
I’ve already touched on this in reasons #3 and #6, but I really want to stress this fact.
Having a mosaic mural is an expression of creativity.
Take a look at this mural of Kobe Bryant, for example.
Want something like this in your kitchen?
We can make it happen!
Not a fan of basketball? No problem!
You can have a beautiful piece of mosaic art in your kitchen that resembles virtually anything or anyone.
Besides just being aesthetically pleasing to look at, mosaic backsplashes can allow one to be CREATIVE.
And that’s pretty freakin’ awesome if I do say so myself.
Reason #8: Eco-Friendly
One nice thing about using glass tiles is that they can be scrapped and reused again later.
This makes them a great option for anyone who is concerned about the environment and being eco-friendly.
Additionally, some home remodelers might be looking to dispose of their used tile and they might consider repurposing or selling that tile.
Reason #9: Optical Illusions
Something many people might not be aware of is just how much of impact mosaic art can have on a person’s depth perception.
This is especially great when space is limited and aesthetics play an even bigger role than they normally would.
Even in the tiniest of kitchens, a nice mosaic tile backsplash can create the illusion that a kitchen appears larger and brighter than it actually is.
But regardless of the actual size that a kitchen has, there’s a mosaic backsplash out there that can make it look better.
Vertical patterns generally make walls look taller and horizontal patterns make them look wider.
In this case, we can use the flaws in our subjective perception to our advantage.
Reason #10: Fun
Choosing and creating a mosaic backsplash for your kitchen can be a very enjoyable process.
Personally, I LOVE to imagine all the different possibilities when I look at a new project.
I have fun picking out the materials and thinking about what the end result will look like.
I enjoy discussing the different options with my clients.
But most of all, I enjoy seeing other people happy with the final product!
So now that I’ve listed the top 10 reasons why I think mosaic backsplash art is awesome, I hope I’ve given you something to think about the next time you decide to do some renovations in your kitchen.
A kitchen mosaic backsplash is a surefire way to brighten up your life and make cleaning easier!
