There is a lot to consider when pixel-ating your back-splash or the walls in your shower with sheets of these tiny glass tiles.  If you choose to go with a multi-colored mosaic (a blend), be sure not to overwhelm your space with other patterns (on fabrics for example), instead-choose complementing tones and textures to add warmth.  And glass mosaics are available in fun patterns and designs such as the “Stripes Spring” by Mosaic Tile USA.

Glass mosaic tiles aren't just for bathrooms you know, they can extend to table tops and accent walls.
