Have you ever seen a mosaic or other decorative stone pattern and wished you could have something like that inside or outside your home? It's not as completely out of reach as you might think. Marble mosaics and granite medallions are available and come to you as one complete piece. No expensive labor or installation costs for intricate, well-crafted beauty. So where can you use these elements? A little creativity can go a long way.



Inside the Home

Granite medallions and marble mosaics can add some visual interest inside the home. If you'd like some unique art in your house, this is the way to go. It's natural and beautiful and flexible. Where could you install a medallion or mosaic in your home? Consider the following options.

An entryway or foyer floor is an optimum spot for either a marble mosaic or granite medallion. It makes the perfect first impression for guests and you'll see it on a regular basis too.

Placing a granite medallion or marble mosaic in the middle of a guest or master bathroom floor will make a statement. This can be especially attractive in an all-white or off-white setting. And the natural stone blends right in with Zen-inspired design to heighten the spa feel.

A tiled shower makes a good backdrop for a medallion or mosaic. You may feel like you've entered the ancient baths of Rome. Adding one to the floor or on the wall is a way to add some art without interrupting function.

You can liven up your walls, in an entryway or living room, by using a marble mosaic or granite medallion as a mural. Get the effect of a mosaic without the labor-intensive process.

The kitchen is another room in the house often lacking in art. Again, use a medallion or mosaic to brighten the kitchen floor and add an artistic element that won't be in the way or out of place.

Outside the Home

Because granite medallions and marble mosaics are durable, they work well outside of the house too. Bringing the outdoors in is nice but keeping a natural appearance around the outside with stone products is also great.

If you have a patio or deck, a granite medallion or marble mosaic brings visual interest to what could be a plain setting. Create a terrace atmosphere with these elements either on the ground or on a wall surrounding your yard. This addition with some yard manicuring and comfortable outdoor furniture will make you feel like you're in the countryside of Italy.

If you have a pool or are putting one in, consider a granite medallion or marble mosaic for the pool floor. It may be a place you don't think of decorating, but including a decorative tile will turn the pool into a more restful and luxurious spot.

There are many other areas around the home that a granite medallion or marble mosaic would enhance. Scope out your house to see where you'd prefer to place one, considering the spaces mentioned above. Whether in an entryway or on the pool floor, you'll appreciate the beauty of this natural art for years to come.
