Pool Mosaics: Swimming Pool, Mosaic Tiles, Patterns, Murals And Installation

Published: October 9, 2007
Swimming pool mosaics create a unique atmosphere for any pool area. Pool mosaics can change an unattractive concrete hole into a gorgeous addition to any home or hotel. Mosaics are traditionally created by placing tiny colorful tiles in arrangements that form designs, patterns, murals or mimic famous artwork. Installation of pool mosaics takes skill and can be very expensive if the mosaics cover a large area.
Small and simple pool mosaics are more affordable, but also less impressive.
The tiles used to make pool mosaics can be as small as a square inch and are sometimes cut down even smaller. Mosaic tiles can be made out of stone, ceramic, gold or glass. The material the mosaic tiles are made of affects the appearance of finished pool mosaics.
Mosaic patterns vary greatly in degree of difficulty and detail, size and subject matter. Patterns for swimming pool mosaics often depict sea life, such as fish, dolphins, sea horses, whales, octopus, sea horses or seaweed. Symmetrical patterns are also common designs for pool mosaics. More unusual patterns include flags, cowboys or replicas of famous paintings. Replicas of artwork done in other mediums are most often seen in murals which decorate walls surrounding the swimming pool or other areas of the home or business. Murals that have patterns mimicking famous art require so much detailed work that many people prefer to place them in more visible areas, rather than as pool mosaics.
The smaller and simpler the mosaic patterns are, the less they cost. A 4-inch-long sea turtle made up of 15 ceramic tiles cut specifically to resemble a turtle's head, shell, flippers and tail costs only $19.95 at SwimmingPoolMosaics.com, which is affordable for any swimming pool budget. These sea turtles are small however, and just one of them would not suffice to decorate a swimming pool. Another pattern offered by the same company is an 8-foot-long rippling American flag, large enough to be seen clearly at the bottom of a pool, but also costs $7,800. Larger mosaics are better suited to be pool decorations, but are also very expensive.
Pool mosaics enhance the beauty of a swimming area and make it more visually appealing to people living in the home or visiting a hotel. Mosaic tiles are usually small and can be made out of a variety of materials. Careful placement of the tiles and attention to detail to uphold the intended pattern is of dire importance. The larger the pool mosaics are, the more striking the effect - but also the more expensive the design and installation will be. Pool mosaics turn a swimming area into a work of art worthy of being treasured and enjoyed for a lifetime.
