Mirror mosaic in the interior: design ideas, tile shapes and finishing.

Pros and cons of using in the interior

Pieces of mirrors have long been used in interior decoration. Previously, a mosaic panel could be made from shards of a broken mirror. Modern mosaics are made of particularly durable material. It has proven itself from the best side due to its features:

Resistant to abrasion, does not lose its shine over time.

Durable and durable material, temperature changes do not affect it in any way.

Mirror mosaic finishing options

Mirror mosaic is a truly universal material. It looks great on any surface: walls, ceilings and even interior items – furniture, fireplaces, mirrors. Adding mirror stripes or inserts to the finish will allow you to profitably transform the space of the apartment. The installation of tiles attached to the grid is easy: the canvas is glued to the prepared surface. The grout is selected white or “graphite” shade.

Kitchen apron

Due to its advantages, a mirror panel is often installed in the kitchen as an apron. This decor not only expands the space, but also protects the wall from dirt in the cooking area.

Walls

A surface finished with mirror mosaic is very practical, so any corner of the house can be covered with it: kitchen, bedroom, hall. This decor looks great in halls and can also decorate a bathroom.

Ceiling

It is recommended to decorate part of the ceiling with mosaic tiles to avoid overloading the interior. The area where the chandelier hangs is successfully decorated: its mirror surface reflects light and casts picturesque highlights on the walls. A mosaic border laid along the perimeter of the ceiling looks original – it increases the amount of daylight coming in from the windows.

Facade of a sliding wardrobe

Almost any furniture can be decorated with mirror fragments: tables, cabinets, kitchen islands, bar counters. The façade of a sliding wardrobe decorated with mosaics looks unusual.

Frame for a painting or mirror

Interior items decorated with mosaics always look stylish and original. You can make such a mirror with your own hands by gluing mosaic pieces to any surface.

Niche

A niche decorated with mini-mirrors will become the “highlight” of the interior, visually enlarge it and attract the attention of guests.

Fireplace

Mosaic is resistant to high temperatures and, despite its external fragility, is very durable. This coating is ideal for facing a fireplace portal.

Design ideas and shapes of mosaic tiles

Modern mosaics are presented in a wide range. Types of mirror tiles differ in the type of processing, shape, shades and size.

• The edges of the products are processed in different ways: the surface can be sanded and polished. Beveling is also used, which gives the tiles additional volume.
• Not only square-shaped products are available for sale, but also in the form of diamonds, rectangles, and hexagonal honeycombs. Round tiles are especially original.
• To add variety to the usual silver-colored mirror, manufacturers have learned to tint products to look like a black mirror, bronze, and gold.

Mosaics also differ in size: from small (10×10 mm) to large (several centimeters in area).

Photos in the interior of the rooms

Mirror panels have always added solemnity to the interior and expanded the space. Mosaic tiles look impressive, and most importantly, they provide ample opportunities for creativity: they can be combined with other materials, combine different sizes and shapes, create figured compositions.

In the kitchen

Mirror coating goes well with chrome surfaces of dishes. If the kitchen is combined with the living room, such an apron will become an additional decoration of the interior.

In the bathroom and toilet

Small rooms will become wider and brighter if you decorate them with mosaics. Usually one wall or element of the bathroom is allocated for this: a countertop, a shower stall or an area where a mirror is located.

In the bedroom

A composition of mini-mirrors can be placed at the head of the bed or opposite the bed. Vertical panels will be appropriate in a small room. Thanks to such an interesting technique, the bedroom can be made visually higher.

In the hallway and entrance hall

The use of mosaics in the entrance hall is due not only to decorative considerations, but also to the small area of the premises. Furniture and panels with mosaic elements are appropriate in the hallway. And if you decorate a spacious hall with shining squares, this will advantageously emphasize its royal dimensions.

In the living room

The interior of the living room, decorated with mosaics, acquires a special charm.
