Heat Sensitive Tiles
The Northern Lights inspired tile line by Moving Color is a technicolor wonder of spectacular proportions. These 4×4 glass tiles are black at room temperature, but all that changes with a turn of the shower taps; a gradual spectral display of the aurora borealis in your very own shower would make for a delightful morning treat. Wouldn’t these be fun in a guest bath? I love surprises. I saw the real phenomenon only once in the Muskoka region way back when I was in teen summer camp, I jipped myself out of the true experience watching the Northern Lights as I didn’t have contacts back then and I refused to wear my so-not-cool glasses, from what I could see it was beautiful, oh the things we do for our summer crushes.

Mosaic Glass Tiles -Where and How to Use Them
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.
