LEGO Mosaic Art

LEGO Mosaics are a mind-bending way to build colourful pictures, whilst harnessing your artistic talent and childhood creative skills. After checking out some of these great works of art using Lego as mosaic tiles, you will be running upstairs to dig out your sons Lego box before you know it!

There will always be the temptation to build upwards at the same time, the best thing about it is that no glue is required and no mess (unless you knock the box of Lego over) give it a go, and try to keep it 2 dimensional.

Original Style - Metal Mosaic Tiles



Original Style are a leading tile manufacturer in the UK. We are very excited about their superbly presented collection of mosaic wall tiles.
In particular we are currently transfixed on their shiny new Metal Mosaic Tiles.

Metal mosaics reflect lifestyle as much as colour and should be used with confidence. The clean bold lines and shapes of the Original Style metal mosaics give any wall a big dose of gusto!

They are available in both polished and softly brushed finish - they never fail to enhance and complement any nearby surfaces in luxurious metallic splendour.

OUR VERDICT: Its impossible to choose a favourite, as they are all very attractive. 9/10 - An expanse of brushed metal mosaics on your kitchen wall will certainly bring out the professional chef in you - metal can be a practical solution in many different locations. The polished mosaics boldly mirror light and colour, whilst the brushed satin finish softens and reflections and is perfectly at home with natural materials such as wood and stone.

Please note: because of their metallic nature you should ensure a qualified electrician carries out electrical work around any metal mosaics.

Mosaic tiles are widely used because they give any space an aspect of depth and character.
