Mosaic Kerama Marazzi: examples of use in the interior

Mosaic can be called one of the most spectacular and unusual finishing materials. This decorative element will not only transform any interior, but also turn it into a real work of art. Mosaic of domestic production of the company Kerama Marazzi is a small-sized tiles, assembled into a single canvas for finishing the floor or walls.

In addition to conventional ceramic tiles, the company offers a particularly durable pressed mosaic of porcelain stoneware. Due to the smaller thickness, it is possible to veneer with such finishing material curved surfaces and corners. Mosaic Kerama Marazzi not only harmoniously fits into any interior design, but also helps to visually expand the space through a variety of shades, textures and reliefs. It can also be used to create very unusual and complex patterns, such as the traditional Scandinavian pattern "hardanger."

Since the Kerama Marazzi mosaic is produced using the same technology as porcelain stoneware (special features are fusible grades of clay and high temperature of roasting), it has high strength and durability. That is why this finishing material is suitable for use where there are differences in humidity and temperature.

Kerama Marazzi uses special white clay to produce mosaic tiles. At the same time, the production technology of the mosaic resembles the firing of porcelain stoneware, which guarantees the resistance of the finishing material to external influences and the influence of chemicals. A low coefficient of water absorption allows the use of such tiles, even in conditions of high humidity pools.

The company has in its assortment both a monolithic glazed mini-tile with a size of 23x23 mm and whole webs of 300x300 mm in which the mosaic elements are connected to each other with special glue. Such large cover stacks faster and easier than miniature.

Based on the reviews, the exquisite mosaic tile Kerama Marazzi of the Temari series, which can be found in several collections of this brand: Japanese, Roman, Scandinavian and the Palette collection, is particularly popular.The monochrome surface of this mosaic is harmoniously combined with the background tile from other collections. She can lined not only showers and bathrooms, but also pools.

And among the shades of the Temari series, you can find options that will fit exactly into your concept of a perfect interior: beige, white, turquoise, burgundy, yellow, red, brown, blue, metallic, gray, orange, pink, blue, purple, black, lime, indigo, coral, fuchsia, pistachio, caramel, ultramarine and all their variations.

The advantages of branded mosaic include:

• the ability to veneer parts of complex geometric shapes and curved surfaces;
• the ability to combine a mosaic with ceramic tiles of other formats;
• the possibility of finishing small surfaces (for example, shelves and ends);
• low water absorption coefficient (<0.3%), which means that the mosaic is suitable for use in rooms with high humidity;
• high mechanical strength (due to the original firing technology);
• simplicity in cleaning, as a smooth mosaic surface does not possess absorption properties, does not absorb dust and dirt as quickly as a matte tile;
• long operational term of this finishing material.

In the range of Kerama Marazzi there are several types of mosaics. Monochrome and monochrome are used as a background on which the rest of the decor elements stand out. The variety "melange" differs in that it presents tiles of one primary color with variations of all its shades. Such ceramics are often chosen for finishing high-tech or techno styles. The “gradient” type suggests that different colors and shades smoothly transform into one another.

One of the favorite design techniques is to use the effect of an aged mosaic using the craquelure technique, when cracks and streaks on the ceramic surface are not at all a sign of poor tile quality, but are considered an exclusive “highlight”.

With the help of a mosaic, you can create something like a “waterfall” when dark colors of a certain shade are placed in the upper part, and white at the bottom.Between them there will be a mosaic of two tones, which will ensure a smooth transition of one shade to another and the effect of a waterfall.

The Kerama Marazzi mosaic is used in various rooms of the house and serves different purposes. Kitchen apron - the most popular place for this finishing material. Since the mosaic of the Russian brand has not only enhanced durability, but also minimal moisture absorption, it will serve you for many years and will be easy to maintain. At the same time, the material will effectively decorate the interior in any style - from retro to high-tech.

And do not forget about quality grout, which not only firmly fixes the mosaic, but also prevents the penetration of moisture into the inner side of the masonry.

Due to the small size of mosaic tiles, you will be able to cover with it even the most non-standard or curved surface, for example, the base of an oval bath. Also, with the help of mosaic you will be able to create an imperceptible transition between vertical and horizontal surfaces. A separate theme and the dream of each designer - panels, paintings and ethnic ornaments from the mosaic.

For the bathroom, you can use not only the classic maritime theme, but also the effect of the current gradient, when one color smoothly changes into another.Also look for options with a pearl finish. You'd be surprised, but the mosaic can be laid out even inside the sink. For this master decorators recommend choosing material on a grid basis.

And if today you don’t surprise anyone with walls decorated with mosaic tiles, you can use the original design technique with the addition of randomly laid pieces of glass, marble or porcelain on the wall. Such a “hand made” interior is not simply impossible to appreciate.

Another original technique is to mosaic the tabletop or to decorate other pieces of furniture and interior: a fireplace, a flight of stairs, cabinets and bedside tables. In the case of furniture, the bright patchwork technique will look particularly impressive.

In conclusion, we will add one more thing to all the advantages of the mosaic as an original finishing material - this coating is perfectly combined with other textures, so you can add mirrors, sinks, beads or pebbles to the panel, making the interior exclusive and unique.
