I've chosensome mosaic style, to represent many of the great ways you can use mosaic in your home.

 

1.  Kitchen Backsplash: Colorful Retro-Styled Mosaic Tile

Mosaic tile was practically made for kitchen backsplashes. It installs easily. It doesn't require lots of cutting. And because it's so colorful, it enlivens dark spaces below cabinets.

 

2.  Bathroom Backsplash: Gorgeous Glass Mosaic Tile

The second place you'll find mosaic tile in great numbers is on bathroom backsplashes. Just think "wet" and you'll find a place for mosaic. I would argue that bathroom backsplashes are the place to start your DIY tiling career if you want to develop your skills, because these runs are far shorter than the ones you will find in kitchens.

 

 3.  Kitchen Island Front and Sides: Dress It Up With Mosaic

Another novel idea that you don't see often but should: install mosaic tile on the front and sides of your kitchen island. It's as easy to do as backsplashes. Attach cement board to vertical surfaces and lay the tile. You don't need to install perfectly to top edges where the countertop hangs over (no one will see it anyway).
