So I intended to write this article as an introspective piece about a variety of topics, but with a particular focus — subtlety. I myself have never been accused of subtlety, as you’ve probably already realized by now. So let’s talk subtlety in mosaic artworks.

One could argue that the mosaic craft itself is so intricate and detailed that there isn’t much subtlety in it. However, the subtlety and inconspicuousness of the mosaic lie in it as a finished art piece. Some of us will go for that discreet artwork with its delicate patterns and muted colors, while others will go for the one with a colorful scene and its explosion of vibrancy. Ultimately what you’ll go for in mosaic art depends on what kind of impression you are trying to achieve and even on what type of personality you are.

If you are not the one to have a larger-than-life artwork hanging on your living room wall and you would rather just have a pretty and discreet detail here and there, we have a perfect solution for you — mosaic borders. Mosaic borders are often being neglected as an artistic expression because of their limited size and use, but they are being neglected unrightfully so because mosaic borders can be just as beautiful and eye-catching as a bigger mosaic piece.

Mosaic borders can work like magic if you want to refresh something without renovating it all or investing too much money. If you add some classy bordures on the outlines of your bathroom furnishings, you will seemingly get a whole new bathroom. You don’t have to break and remove old tiles to make a change, because mosaic borders will work like a charm.

Framing old family pictures, refreshing some wooden furniture, or adding edges to your monochromatic walls and floor has never been easier. Mosaic borders are seamless yet noticeable, and you can’t really go wrong with them. They will always end up looking stylish and classy wherever you put them, simply because of their arresting subtlety and delicacy.

Because of their longevity and no-maintenance-needed nature, mosaic borders are also perfect for any type of quick and easy outdoor renovations or terrace and deck embellishments. Mosaic borders may look gentle and graceful, but they are miraculously resistant to seasonal changes and outside influences, and their durability is legendary.
