The Encaustic tiles have been a popular decorative item for many years due to their durability, beauty, and versatility. These tiles are currently experiencing a renaissance in the interior design and exteriors. Here we present some of the current trends in decoration with encaustic mosaic floor.
1. Mix of patterns and colors

Tiles are used to create unique and custom patterns, which may include geometric patterns, floral or abstract. In addition, different colors and shades are mixed to create more interesting and visually appealing designs.
Especially the “Encaustic cement tile patchwork” is a decorative option that consists of mixing patterns and colors with different tiles in a random or planned manner.
The patchwork can be completely random and colorful or planned – have a base of one color, for example black and white, with touches of other colors (red, orange) or another example: mosaics in pastel shades.
2. Big and striking tiles
Another trend in decoration with authentic cement tile mosaic are the large and striking tiles. Large tiles can be used to create a decorative wall or to cover the floor of a room. These tiles have a significant visual impact and can be used to create a Focal point in a space.
These shapes are made up of 4 or more tiles put together to form one large pattern.
At Crafted tiles we sell large size tiles (30x30cm and 40x40cm) for restoration of old floors; however we do not advise the use of such large slabs as they are more difficult to install and more likely to break over time.
