Glass tiling in the kitchen can transform your entire day into something extraordinary.

Used in mosaics as early as 2500 BC, glass is a beautiful material that later on was used by the Greek, Persian and Indian cultures to create glass tile.  Glass tile has become increasingly

popular in recent years due to the beautiful properties of glass as well as technological advances.

Residential and commercial clients alike are realizing the potential that’s right at their fingertips with glass tile.

From glass tile flooring to glass tile backsplashes, you can surround yourself with the undeniable radiance and creativity of glass tile designs.

In the following article from HGTV.com you will find a bit more information about using glass tiling in your kitchen.  These tile pattern and design ideas will help to guide you through infusing the beauty of glass tile in your kitchen.

A Touch of Glass for Your Kitchen Design

Decorative glass tiles add a new dimension of creativity to your kitchen decor

When Ann Sacks Tile & Stone started marketing glass tile 20 years ago, it was seen as a pretty, but eccentric, kitchen decoration. “It used to kind of scare tile installers,” says John Hurt, the Portland, Ore., company’s chief merchandising officer.

Today, glass tile is a hot kitchen trend and Hurt says it’s finding its way into backsplashes, feature walls or surrounds on bars or islands and — one of his personal favorites — inside the pantry. “That’s a surprising delight, to open up and see beautiful glass,” he says. Here are some ideas on how to bring that beauty to your own kitchen.

Clear Advantages

In any application, glass has practical advantages, says Leilani Norman-Young, an artist who founded SpectraDecor in Seattle, a maker of glass tile and drawer pulls.

“Glass is durable and easy to maintain,” she says. “And unlike certain types of natural stone, if it gets messed up all you have to do is wipe it off and it looks as good as it did when it was new. I like that.”

Glass tiles in particular can help you make a very personal statement without going overboard, she says: “There are so many colors available and the properties of glass — clear, opaque, transparent — offer such dimension and beauty.”

The designer says she’s striving for more sophisticated patterns and colors with her recycled and fusion tiles.

“These are not the same as traditional molded glass with its heavier look, or the primary colors that used to be the mainstay of glass tiles,” she says. “People are hungering for green, sophisticated choices. And it’s becoming more and more important to them that glass is a sustainable material.”

Oceanside Glasstile's "Decos" tile, part of the Casa California line

Oceanside Glasstile, for instance, offers several glass tile lines made from discarded glass bottles, some using up to 85 percent recycled content. Oceanside employs molded relief patterns on its glass tiles, such as the raised clam pattern on its “Decos” tile, part of the Casa California line.

Injecting a Little fun

While he says glass tile is not so exotic anymore, Hurt of Anne Sacks is also quick to point out that it’s an easy way to add a fun element to the kitchen, something a little unexpected.

Offset Mosaic by Erin Adams for Ann Sacks Tile & Stone

“Glass tiles offer a wonderful chance to express your individuality, which is something you can’t really do with a cabinet or stainless steel refrigerator,” says Hurt, “There are so many colors, more than 50 to choose from on some lines. Other designs such as our Erin Adams collection of glass mosaics are genuinely unique, with each installation made to the customer’s order.”

Complex Basketweave with Escher Border from Ann Sacks

Complex Basketweave with Escher Border and Offset Mosaic are just a couple of the Anne Sacks patterns that can be made in any color combination.

Another fun, new trend is metallic glass tiles by such companies as Maestro Mosaics. By backing glass tiles with metallic paint, a three-dimensional effect is achieved in the semi-smooth 4″ x 4″ tiles.

Giving Tradition a Lift

Even in a more conservative design, colored glass tiles have their place.

“A glass backsplash can play off the traditional white kitchen — give it a little lift, give it a little fun,” says Martha Gargano, a designer at A Matter of Style in Cheshire, Conn., who tends to employ glass tiles from Waterworks.

“Kitchen designs in New England still tend to be very traditional, but we’ve done several jobs using jewel tone glass tiles, turquoise, magenta and purple,” she says.

Norman-Young also recommends glass to enrich the coldness of today’s popular stainless steel counters and appliances. “It provides a beautiful juxtaposition, particularly if you direct lighting onto the glass,” she says.

Layered glass tiles that combine opaque and transparent glass in mod designs are a popular offering from SpectraDecor, and Norman-Young says she’s seen a lot of demand for the tiny tiles to use as accents for larger, basic glass tile creations. All are made to order by artisans in her Seattle studio.

Maestro Mosaics applies metallic paint for a 3D look.

Practical Pointers

No matter what the application or how sophisticated the design, though, glass-tile consumers should keep a couple of practical tips in mind, says Hurt of Anne Sacks. “Smooth glass on a backsplash is easy to keep clean and resists heat,” he says, “but if glass tile has been sandblasted it can hold on to oils.”

Unlike 10 and 20 years ago, professional tile installers are no longer fearful of glass tile installation, but a homeowner should still be wary, says Hurt.

“You can get a special cutting tool, but I’d generally recommend an experienced installer for glass tile,” he says. “It doesn’t lend itself to a do-it-yourself project like ceramic tile does.”

One of the best investments you can make in your home is updating your kitchen or bath – but you don’t have to spend a lot of money doing so.  While you may have your heart set on granite countertops and a gorgeous tile backsplash, your leftover money from these projects might be leaving you with few options elsewhere… but you do have choices!

For instance, granite remnants are the perfect way to incorporate more granite décor into your home when you’re feeling financially drained.  Updating your kitchen or bathroom doesn’t have to end with the countertops and vanity tops; selecting the same high quality granite pieces in a smaller size can save you a lot of money

The following article from Granite-Countertop-Options.com explains the process of selecting granite remnants a bit further.

Granite Remnants

Granite has long been known as an expensive material because of its color, strength and durability. Its price is dictated primarily by its extraordinary colors and vein patterns. The beauty and elegance of each stone is unique because of the way it is developed under extreme heat and pressure. This makes every granite countertop special and one-of-a-kind. With granite’s exceptional qualities, it is only proper that it is priced higher than other materials. But what about those who want granite but just can’t afford it? Is there a way in which its price can be lowered so that more people can afford it?

Granite Now More Affordable

Fortunately, the answer is yes. There is granite stone that is within reach of the average homeowner. Granite fabricators have been aware of this need, that’s why they have devised ways by which they can provide granite to homeowners who can’t afford showroom prices. Affordable classes of granite include granite tiles, faux granite and granite remnants. Their prices per square foot are much lower than granite slabs. With these affordable granite options, you can build a granite countertop without breaking your budget.

Granite Remnants – the Most Affordable

Of all granite options, granite remnants are the cheapest. If you use them in building your granite counter, or any smaller project, you can save from 10% to 90% of the original cost. Considering the typical price of granite, which is $65 to $120 per square foot, you can save up to $100 per square foot by using these remnants. And you still get to build your granite table top at a fraction of the cost.

What are Granite Remnants

There are at least two types of granite remnants on the market today. The most common are those that are left-over cuttings from big granite slabs. For every granite slab that is used for building a granite countertop, flooring or wall, there will be off-cuts or leftovers. These are small pieces of granite which are not big enough for major projects but stil aren’t considered waste material because they can still be used for smaller projects. Granite fabricators are selling them at give-away prices because they have already been paid for by the original buyer of the slab.

Another type of granite remnant is the smaller granite slab that is not big enough to be used for building standard-sized granite countertops. There are quarrying and mining situations that result in granite slabs being made smaller than the standard-sized slabs. Because of their smaller sizes, they are priced much lower than the usual price.

Characteristics of Granite Remnants

Due of the manner by which they were created, granite remnants (those which are leftover from big granite slabs) have different shapes, sizes and even thicknesses. Of course, since they come from different granite slabs, they will also have varying colors and vein patterns. This is also true with the remnant granite slab, with the variations in thicknesses somewhat greater between each slab.

With these physical variations in size, thickness and color, using these granite remnants for construction projects will be more challenging. You have to be flexible and you need to use the best of your imagination to be able to work them out in your design. With their varying shapes and colors, you could even turn out a very unique countertop that will be fascinating to look at.

Uses for Granite Remnants

There are many ways that granite remnants can be used in the home. They can be used in remodeling your table tops or building new granite projects. The larger remnants can be cut and shaped into a small granite countertop or a large kitchen island. With the smaller leftover granite, you can build projects like bathroom vanities, small kitchen islands, backsplashes, coffee tables, and the like.

Aside from construction projects, you can also form granite remnants into attractive containers for indoor and outdoor plants. They can also be made into a beautiful stepping-stone path in your garden. You can even use round or rectangular pieces of leftovers as coffee trays. These remnants can also be used to replace your old window ledges. In fact, you can use them anywhere you think a small piece of granite can improve the style and elegance of the space.

You Have To Be Flexible

When buying granite leftovers you cannot specify the stone that you would like. You have to settle with what is available at the shop floor of granite fabricators. In fact, once you have spotted a piece that you like, you have to buy it right away, because if you don’t, another person might pick it up and it will be lost forever. With its very low prices, more and more people are searching for granite remnants, so you have to act fast.

These remnants are every bit as beautiful and durable as the original slab. But since they are leftovers from different slabs, they have different colors, vein patterns and thicknesses. This is where you have to really exercise your flexibility and imagination. Having a general plan of the project, as to its shape, size and color will help a lot in spotting the pieces that will fit. Do not expect to find exact sizes, colors and shape that you want.

Granite remnants can have major cost savings over their full-slab relatives.  But you don’t need to sacrifice quality for price.  Granite remnants don’t lack in quality what regular granite slabs possess; the only difference between a granite slab and granite remnants is size.

Kitchen Backsplash Ideas: Tile Backsplash Ideas

Check out these ideas for adding style and color to your kitchen with a unique tile backsplash.

Neutral Drama

Paired with frameless cabinetry and streamlined cabinet pulls, this glass backsplash looks sophisticated and contemporary. The champagne-color glass tiles, gray-stained alder cabinets, and creamy marble countertops maintain a neutral color palette, but their varied shades ensure the look is anything but boring. The tile’s glossy finish mirrors the sheen of stainless-steel appliances and reflects light and views.

Unifying Color

If you plan to use several colors in your kitchen, a multicolor backsplash is a great way to pull your scheme together. This kitchen’s multitone mosaic tile backsplash unifies the island’s tangerine cabinetry, the perimeter’s pale and dark wood cabinets, and the rich espresso walls.

Textural Backdrop

Stained-glass mosaics bring a sleek contemporary style to this kitchen’s backsplash. The thin, narrow tile emphasizes the streamlined design of linear stainless-steel cabinet pulls and blends with the surrounding kitchen cabinetry. To fit the custom tiles in his remodeling budget, the homeowner opted for thermofoil cabinets that offer the look of solid wood for a fraction of the price.

Shimmering Focal Point

A distinctive tile backsplash can bring a bit of glamour to your kitchen and transform your cooking area into a design showcase. This onyx mosaic tile backsplash adds a luxurious touch to the space, complementing the room’s ornate painted cabinetry and custom molding. The stone tile shimmers in the kitchen’s natural light but remains neutral enough to blend in with the kitchen’s soft colors and natural surfaces.

Craftsman Character

A tile backsplash can be a great way to create a period look that matches the architecture of your home. With so many kinds of tile available, it’s easy to find just the right look for any home. In this kitchen, Arts and Crafts-inspired tiles behind the range complement the 1896 home and kitchen cabinetry that features Arts and Crafts-style paneled doors. The dark decorative tiles stand out from the surrounding field tile.

Three-Dimensional Style

When brainstorming backsplash ideas, think beyond color. Three-dimensional texture is another way to add unique character to the cooking zone. In this kitchen, pillowed metallic tiles form a simple quilt-like pattern on the range backsplash, attracting attention with soft shimmer and pattern. The tile’s understated elegance works well in a kitchen that features cabinetry with lots of ornate embellishments.

Classic Subway Tile

Rectangular white subway tile installed in a traditional brick pattern gives any kitchen a welcoming, vintage charm. In this cooking zone, the classic tile choice is a perfect fit for the room’s traditional cabinetry and marble-look countertops. Subway tile is available in ceramic, glass, and stone and in a range of colors to fit both traditional and contemporary spaces.

Small-Scale Pattern

When kitchen cabinetry is relatively simple and unadorned, you can easily opt for more pattern on the backsplash. Here, 1-inch glass mosaic tile creates a dramatic backdrop for the kitchen’s white cabinets. The backsplash’s neutral hues also blend well with the kitchen’s gray countertops and stainless-steel appliances.

Old-World Charm

Several varieties of marble and limestone on the backsplash, floor, and counters help give this kitchen its inviting old-world style. The backsplash also features variations in scale for added interest, showcasing a mosaic tile niche set within larger square tiles. All of the stone is honed, and some is even distressed, to emphasize the kitchen’s aged character.

Sophisticated Focal Point

To extend your kitchen budget, consider installing standard field tile throughout most of the kitchen backsplash, then adding hand-painted tiles as decorative accents. The stone tiles in this kitchen provide a rustic, textural backdrop for the cottage-style cooking space. Four accent tiles above the range create a focal point that adds visual interest but doesn’t overwhelm the small room.

Contemporary Texture

Bamboo-look glass tile offers a textural feel and its horizontal lines complement the kitchen’s linear cabinet hardware. The unique tile choice modernizes the cooking space but keeps the overall look neutral and soothing. Installing the tile in a stacked pattern enhances the room’s contemporary style.

Colorful Inserts

A celery-green glass tile backsplash offers a soft contrast to the surrounding white cabinets in this vintage-style cooking zone. For added visual interest, the homeowners inserted tan tiles randomly into the backsplash. The overall look is fun and sophisticated, but it’s neutral enough that it doesn’t compete with the bold orange paint that covers the rest of the kitchen’s walls.

Realistic Stone Texture

Stacked pebble tiles bring a nature-inspired texture to this backsplash area. To emphasize the natural look, the homeowners chose not to grout the tiles. Used in the kitchen’s beverage center, the pebbles create a unique focal point for the cooking zone; the rest of the kitchen backsplash features a more traditional choice: white ceramic subway tiles.

Decorative Designs

Handmade ceramic tile creates a unique design for this kitchen backsplash. Set within square white tiles, painted blue squares create two panels with tree motifs that subtly stand out from the surrounding field tile and white cabinetry. Using handmade tile provides abundant design opportunities; you can opt for a simple, classic design or go all out with vibrant color and pattern.

Modern Simplicity

This mosaic tile glass backsplash brings lively pattern to this small galley kitchen. The glass tiles match the reflective quality of the stainless-steel appliances and add a hint of color to a room with predominantly neutral hues. The square tiles also mimic the shape of openings in the partition wall opposite the cooktop, which admit light and views from the adjacent living room.

Elegant Marble Tile

Throughout this inviting, cottage-style kitchen, Carrara marble tile forms a sophisticated backsplash. To add depth and enhance the room’s upscale look, the designers chose tile with beveled edges. Above the range, they added tile in varied shades of blue and green, which complement the soft blue paint on the walls and the cool colors used in the adjoining dining and living rooms.

A Twist on Tradition

Round penny tiles are often used as flooring, but in this kitchen they are brought up to the backsplash for a fun twist on traditional style. The mosaic tile came in 12×12-inch sheets, which made installation easy. Honey-color grout adds dimension and emphasizes the tile’s fun shape.

Instant Warmth

Hand-painted Mexican saltillo tiles add rustic charm to this kitchen’s backsplash. The warm terra-cotta tones warm up the room’s white cabinetry and stand out against the black soapstone counters. Setting the tiles at a diagonal adds a touch of drama and enhances visual interest.

Retro Flair

The yellow and black tile in this kitchen was essential to creating the room’s retro vibe. The tile colors inspired the yellow cabinetry and the yellow hexagonal tile countertops on the opposite side of the room; the black and white composite floor tile and marble countertop next to the range were existing elements.

Inspired by Nature

Handmade, embossed tiles on this backsplash reflect the detailed craftsmanship evident throughout the entire kitchen. In shades of brown and green, the tiles bring a hint of nature into the cooking zone and suit the kitchen’s Arts and Crafts design. A mix of rectangular and square shapes emphasizes the kitchen’s simple lines and forms a unique design over the range.

Contrasting Tile Treatments

A niche above the range offers a convenient place for storing often-used oils and spices; it also provides an opportunity to play with backsplash materials. Tiling the niche in a contrasting material helps transform the area into a design focal point. Here, the homeowners chose glass honeycomb tiles, which provide a luminous sheen and a fun pattern; they contrast crisply with the surrounding white subway tile.

Stylish Accent TIles

Small blue tiles accent the white tile backsplash in this remodeled kitchen, repeating the blue color of the kitchen’s cabinets and unifying the overall design of the space. Above the range, five square accent tiles with nautical-inspired themes create a distinctive focal point for the cooking zone. Thin liner pieces frame the tile artwork for a finished look.

Classic Elegance

 

Stone mosaic tile complements the traditional character of this remodeled kitchen and enhances its upscale look. The gray-white tiles stand out from the white cabinets flanking the range but don’t demand too much attention. A central tile panel above the range offers subtle contrast and pattern.

Marble tile designs can be incorporated into your entryway, kitchen or bathroom for a stunning look.

Marble tiles possess a unique beauty that simply cannot be duplicated by another surface.  The swirling patterns and shade variations apparent in marble provide the homeowner with a natural design like no other.  Yet, like most natural stones, you need to care for your marble tile installation if you want the beauty to last.

The following eHow.com article shares a few wonderful marble tile design ideas for your flooring.  See which marble tile design you would love to incorporate into your bathroom, kitchen or entryway.

Design Ideas for a Marble Floor

Marble is a high-quality flooring material distantly related to limestone. It is softer than granite, and more susceptible to wear and staining, but it also comes in softer and lighter colors than many other natural stone options. Homeowners choose marble floors for their entryways, bathrooms, and kitchens. When choosing a marble tile design, homeowners should remember that marble has many possibilities when it comes to style and appearance.

Use Warm Colors

• Marble, as a natural stone, has one notable problem: it looks and feels cold. Visitors, especially guests with bare feet, tend to notice this. To combat this perception, homeowners should choose warm marble colors, including golden and cream hues that detract from the cold feeling of the stone. This works very well in bathrooms.

Create Mosaics

• Marble and marble tile are excellent materials for making striking mosaics. Homeowners interested in mosaics should focus on one particular image or centerpiece. In the entryway, a marble mosaic can be used to form the initials or crest of the family. In a bathroom, a mosaic mural or rendition of a popular image may work better.

Decide on a Pattern

• Homeowners should not be afraid to use more than one color of marble on their floors. Some of the oldest versions of marble floors used checkerboard or diamond patterns for floors, often alternating striking colors like black and white. This makes the floor itself a useful centerpiece to base other pieces of home decor on.

Age Your Tiles

• Marble tiles can be lightly tumbled. This ages the tile, giving it a worn and partially chipped look that can be striking in a home that embraces this elegant, older style. Contemporary homeowners should stay away from this process, but aged marble can be the perfect choice for those looking for an authentic Tuscan addition to their homes.

Add Borders and Highlights

• Homeowners can consider adding a border or highlight to their marble floors. There is no reason that the floors need to stay the same color throughout. A dark border of other stone or a different style of marble can accent a room, adding beauty and blending the floor in with other decor colors.
