If you are renovating your home or building a new house, here are some ideas to consider in your planning stage.
At Tessellated Tile Factory, we have created tessellated mood boards to inspire ideas about what’s possible in your space and what you can integrate into your project. The mood boards include colour palette, furniture, fixtures, fittings, home decor, and of course, your tessellated pattern. Be inspired and let your creative flair grow with these tessellated mood boards. Each mood board centres around a specific tessellated pattern, as each pattern design sets a mood and style.
Glasgow
This mood board is inspired by tessellated pattern ‘Glasgow’, a popular design in black, grey and white, which incorporates hand-printed decorative tiles with a Norwood border. Tessellated tiles are an excellent application to the entrance of your home, especially in areas such as the veranda or footpath, where they add a luxurious vibe. The colour palette is a natural earthy tone that can be implemented throughout the home.
The prominent colours for this mood board are terracotta and honey. In the kitchen illustration showcased is the mini collection in ‘terracotta and white’ applied to the kitchen splashback and countertop. Applying gold fixtures and neutral home decor into this project helps to define the tile solutions for this mood board. The furniture selected includes wooden chairs and white joinery, which really helps to give that fresh airy feel to your living space. The bathroom illustration features our Craquelle Victorian tiles in ‘honey’ colour, a perfect wall application. To finish off, the outdoor pavers illustrated showcase ‘steel grey’ – an excellent application to the exterior of your home.
Annandale
Tessellated design pattern ‘Annandale’ is a beautiful symmetrical design. Interest is created by reversing the use of colour and introducing decorative tiles within the frame. Paired here with a Windsor border, it sets the scene perfectly and is mostly added to the front exterior of a home. This mood board is an eclectic style and theme where the prominent colours are your deep greens, browns and black. This tessellated pattern is mostly associated with Federation or Victorian themes – a traditional application.
The home decor showcases a more classic and masculine look – from the artwork to the leather armchair, you can feel a warm and rich vibe to this mood board. Moreover, the bathroom illustration features white porcelain mosaics as a wall application coupled with black and gold fixtures – a beautiful mix. The kitchen splashback with the black fixture is from the Amazonia collection in ‘sapphire’ – a perfect tile solution as they are highly moisture-resistant. The outdoor image presents a sophisticated backyard where amazing plants frame this area perfectly; the outdoor pavers presented are called ‘Romastone Argento’.
Checkered
This mood board has a more subdued look and feel. The tessellated design is a ‘checkered’ pattern creating a softer effect to the classic black and white by adding a third medium tone – shown here with a double strip Norwood border. The colour palette for this mood board is a cool tone with black/brown, grey and creme. The artwork and home decor are in soft muted colours to continue the soft colour palette throughout the home. Showcased in the living area is a fireplace where there is a tessellated design – a perfect application to continue the look and feel from the exterior of the home.
Although the home has a classic look, the addition of glass mosaics as a splashback in the kitchen gives a more lux contemporary feel whilst remaining connected to the exterior design. The bathroom illustration showcases tiles from the Mini collection in matt grey, continuing with the use of muted soft colours. In all the outdoor pavers in this mood board is the colour ‘paradigm light grey’, bringing great emphasis to this outdoor style and trend.
Killara
This mood board is inspired from the Art Deco movement. Illustrated is a tessellated pattern ‘Killara’ designed with a strong three-dimensional effect and a Bristol border. Emerging in the 1920s and 1930s, the Art Deco design style remains popular to this day. Tiling patterns of this style feature bolder colours, contrasting patterns and geometric accents, with mosaics and angular motifs commonly featured.
The architecture during this period had many distinctive features such as curved roofs and white brick facades as seen on this mood board. The home decor is designed with the Art Deco theme. As you can see, shapes play a big part with this style and theme, meaning you can integrate this into your projects. The bathroom illustration shows an Art Deco themed bathroom with the windows showing Art Deco patterns and white New York subway tiles. The American style subway tiles have the look and feel of the original with a double-glazed finish to give you a deep lustre and shine – you have a little piece of history in your home. TTF American style subway tiles replicate the classic look, feel and colour of the retro style that still continues to trend in the market – perfect for commercial and residential projects.
Balmain
An original Victorian geometric floor design, ‘Balmain’ features a stunning tessellated pattern, reimagined to suit a contemporary setting. This captivating tessellation is shown here with a Deco border. The intricate geometric pattern really sets the bar on design with this mood board. The colour palette features sombre colours that incorporate navy blues, browns, grey and creme.
This modern contemporary mood board showcases a living area that uses blue as a prime colour coupled with red home decor items for a splash of colour. Additionally, the flooring seen in this setting showcases indoor pavers with a beautiful stone like pattern. In the bathroom, porcelain white mosaics with a black border frame the flooring space. In addition, the American style subway tiles are applied in a wall application with the added black grout to highlight the brick design. Also seen are subway tiles in the kitchen, used as a splashback – a perfect tile solution.
