Dark glass mosaic tile can create a striking backsplash for your kitchen. The dark tile can provide a bold contrast with light colored cabinets and counter tops, so your backsplash becomes the focal point of the kitchen. Try a mosaic that features dark shades of blue and green to give your kitchen a Mediterranean feel. If you prefer a warmer look, opt for glass tile in dark red, orange and eggplant shades. Even a mosaic backsplash featuring black, brown and charcoal colored tile can provide an eye-catching look for your kitchen walls.
While dark glass mosaic tile can make a tight bathroom feel even smaller, it is an ideal option for a shower surround if your bathroom features frameless shower doors. With the wide-open look that the doors provide, you can opt for darker walls without worrying about making the space feel confined. The lack of frames around the shower also provides a clearer view of your mosaic surround, so it provides maximum impact in the small space. For a eye-catching effect, opt for a glass mosaic pattern that features various shades of dark blue, such as navy, indigo, cobalt and blue-gray, for a look that mimics water.
Dark glass mosaic tile is an ideal option for sprucing up the look of a plain coffee or end table. In particular, the tile works well with furniture that has a pale finish, such as a light colored wood or a neutral paint like white or cream, because it creates a bold contrast. However, it can also provide an attractive look for dark wood or black furniture since the similar dark tones create a balanced appearance. If you are using the table in a living room, try a mosaic pattern that features dark red, orange and brown glass tile to create a warm look for the space. In a bedroom, deep purple, green and blue shades provide a cool, relaxing look.
Use dark glass mosaic tile to create a highly decorative look for your swimming pool. Since the tile used for pool walls is usually is a light blue, white or gray color, a dark tile mosaic will stand out, creating a distinctive look. Purchase a pre-made mosaic that features dark blue tile designs in the shape of fish, dolphins, seahorses, turtles and other sea creatures, or design a custom mosaic that uses various shades of dark glass tile. Consider deep green shades for your mosaic to create a complementary look with the blue walls.
