When to mosaic tile?

When to mosaic tile?
Generally speaking, mosaic tile looks across small surfaces areas(e.g., kitchen backsplash) or in the case of flooring, in smallspaces (e.g., small hallway bathroom or half bathroom). However,there are exceptions to this guidance. Example: a mosiac tile wallthat is actually a work of art.

FYI - when determining what the right size tile (mosiac orotherwise) for a particular location or job, you can't go wrongfollowing old rule of thumb:

small surface area/space = small tilemedium surface area/space = medium size tilelarge surface area/space/large tile
What consitutues "small," "medium" and "large" depends on theactual surface area to be covered, room size, location, lighting,etc. Generally a small room is the typical hallway or half bath,medioum room is the typical dining room and a large room is the"great room" that has largely replaced the old living and familyrooms.
