The hydraulic sluice allows it to be used in a multitude of rooms and places, as the wide variety of colours and shapes it offers means it can be successfully integrated into all types of environments, both indoors and outdoors. Discover 4 strategic places where to place waterproof tile and it will shine in a surprising way.
Hydraulic slit remover
The rebador is one of the places where the hydraulic slat can act as a space delimiter. As well as giving prominence to this small space in the house, it achieves a welcoming and warm visual effect.
Cuina
The kitchen is a very busy room where we spend most of our time. Here, the hydraulic tile has multiple uses, either as a floor or as an original and colourful countertop. In any case, the kitchen will acquire a very flattering vintage style.
Jardi
There is nothing better than embellishing our garden with an original path made from watercress. It is ideal for delimiting areas, decorating rest areas and creating a very natural atmosphere. Don't hesitate to decorate a garden table with water cracks to match the paving to create a very chic area.
Bany
This is one of the places where they play a special role. Bathroom slits are perfect for decorating the walls, as a covering for the bathtub, or delimiting the shower area. They always create a surprising effect.
Decoration in parets
As with the countertop, mosaics as decoration can be done in any part of the room. One option is the simulation of squares, which thanks to the different style of the mosaics allows you to create retro or modern designs. It is better to do it on a single-coloured wall so that they can stand out.
External walls
Mosaic wall coverings for exteriors are special for breaking up internal monotony. While the interior gives warmth to spaces, the exterior is the face of your home or the garden. We never forget these spaces where many times you can place some nice chairs and tables to go out in the afternoon to have tea or to chat with friends without being inside the house.
Paret de salons
Living rooms are those different areas of the house that make up spaces such as the kitchen, the living room, the dining room, a games room or a television room. These places can look different just with a mosaic wall tiling with a special touch or with a personalised texture.
With wall mosaics you can change any room in the house. Come and see for yourself. At Torra Mosaics we offer you the best quality mosaic.
Children's room
Although mosaic is often associated with an antique style, its revival has been accompanied by all kinds of designs. Moreover, the possibility of making personalised mosaics allows them to be adapted to any place. For example, in the children's room where you can combine printed mosaics on the ground and get a fun and adapted style for the little ones.
Escales amb estil
Finding a style to decorate the stairs of our living room with water tiles is very easy given the wide variety of resources, designs, shapes and colours that we can find on the market. Whether you want to give it a retro touch or a more modern feel, the range of hydraulic tiles is very extensive.
One of the ways to make our stairs look different is to make a combination of two colours, either in black and white or in other different shades that reflect the general decoration of the house or the room where they are located. If you want to give it a more daring touch, you can opt for the patchwork decoration, which is characterised by the combination of all kinds of different stripes, in different colours and with different geometric shapes.
In combination with the wood or the marble of the staircases, the hydraulic slits will add a touch of colour and will look very different from traditional staircases. Add an extra touch of originality and opt for the design of hydraulic slits to cover the fronts. The result will be surprising and very pleasant.
The surface area of a table
A table, whether it is a living room or a dining room, looks great when you add different shades of mosaic tiles to it. The best thing to do is to buy the tones you like and choose a strong tile to personalise it. It is also excellent because you can give a great touch to your living room.
Plats de rajoles i mosaics
Have you done a building site and you have some beautifully designed mosaics left over? The best thing you can do is to turn them into plates or real table centres. A disinfection and a good rent will be all you need at the moment, and you will have excellent kitchen utensils.
Paintings and works of art
Paintings and works of art made with mosaics have become a real vintage trend to decorate modern apartments. From animal species to human faces you will find them. In the past it was difficult to buy them.
Mosaic in testos
A fabulous idea for gardens is to make tesserae or materials with mosaic tiles. These are made with 5 tiles, which can be of different colours, rectangular or square. They are placed together with cement or special rubber to attach the tiles. Later, they are filled with earth and a natural flower is planted in them or artificial plants are placed in them.
- They are made with a number of 5 holes, which can be of different colours, they must be rectangular or square in shape, and they are joined to their sides with cement or special glue for holes. Subsequently, they are filled with earth and a natural flower is planted in them or artificial vegetation can also be placed.
Original headboards
Headboards can become a highly original accessory with the use of water tiles as the main decorative element. The wide variety of designs and colours available on the current hydraulic tiles market allows us to create diverse and original combinations, thanks to the great diversity of collections from which we can choose.
On the one hand, we can choose to combine tiles of the same design, choosing the colour that best matches the wallpaper. Other more daring designs consist of making a patchwork combination in which originality and the creation of headboards full of colours and shapes, which together create a unique design, take on special importance.
Another way to create new combinations is through the integration of the hydraulic slab with other types of materials such as wood, plastic, copper and almost any other material available for the creation of headboards full of personality.
One of the peculiarities of hydraulic grilles is that they can be perfectly integrated into any type of decoration, from retro to more contemporary styles. Original, innovative and with multiple possibilities, hydraulic grilles are back in fashion in many spaces.
Transforming my inner courtyard into an artistic mosaic
I have always liked the idea of transforming my inner courtyard into an artistic mosaic, with different motifs representing different landscapes, making me feel in some way the aroma of all those places in the world that I know, and also those that I don't know, that provoke gratifying memories, or keep alive the illusion of visiting them one day.
A wall that recalls the spectacular landscapes of the Sahara desert on a full moonlit night, another one that reminds me of the stone houses of Cuenca, or the impressive Salt de l'Àngel in Veneçuela; a wall that depicts the mountain of Montserrat, or the Torcal de Antequera; all on an artistic mosaic would give my inner courtyard the image I desire.
I think that a space where we spend part of our time, especially the time we spend on activities other than our professional tasks, is an ideal place to create images that transfer our imagination to pleasant situations that occupy a pleasant place in our particular cove of memories, and the idea of doing it on an artistic mosaic... I like it.
Rustic hydraulic shells for my soterrani
I have always had the idea of transforming the soterrani of my house into a comfortable living room, where I could enjoy my favourite hobbies, music, reading, etc. in total tranquillity, enjoying the coolness in the summer, when the heat gets hot, and the warmth of a good wood-burning stove made with refractory masonry, on a comfortable rustic hydraulic stone floor, suitably treated.
A recovered room with the right water racks, apart from being an ideal place to express my aesthetic concept, provides the desired properties in terms of breathability, warmth or freshness in each climatic stage of the year, and helps to transform a terrace into a special place to disconnect from the daily stress, to enjoy pleasant moments of relaxation, alone or in company.
To savour a good potato, made by the fire of the wood fire, giving it that special taste that only the fire of the burning wood can give to a potato, is one of the many gratifying activities that we can carry out in a well conditioned terrace, covered with rustic water rajoles, which provides us with that peaceful atmosphere that we so often need.
A mosaic squares tile for the fans
For a fan of this noble and popular sport, having a table with a mosaic squash tile on it, located in a corner of your house, in the courtyard or garden, on the terrace, etc. is not only visually gratifying, but it also gives you the chance to have a special piece of your own taste, in a personalised space designed for your enjoyment.
In this corner, you can play a game with a family member or friend, listen to music, read a good book in peace and quiet, or simply enjoy the beautiful table that you have designed or chosen yourself, while you reflect or chat over a good cup of coffee, knowing that if you accidentally spill the liquid, your mosaic squares table will not be damaged.
It is essential to choose or design your mosaic squares tile table, with the motifs, colours, size and shape that best suit your taste, and to accompany this aesthetic ensemble with the appropriate lighting and plants, which enhance the feeling of comfort and well-being, either on your own or by letting yourself be advised by the professionals of the Torra Mosaics design department.
Covering the wall of my house with hydraulic slabs
courtyard
Having a well in the courtyard is something that was quite common a few years ago and even today, in small towns or areas not too overloaded by the urban development of large cities, and although it does not have the essential use it had in the past, it is a useful and decorative element that gives a special touch to the aesthetics of the courtyard. We can cover it with hydraulic tiles.
Logically, such a traditional element has to be treated with great care when covering it, taking into account the other elements that form part of the composition; when choosing colours, drawings in its case and suitable material to cover it with tiles that must always serve to enhance its own style, making it the central element of the environmental composition that is the patio.
When creating this composition, in addition to the dimensions of the house and the courtyard, it will be necessary to take into account the colours that predominate on the walls, the ground and other elements, essential data that will guide us towards the water cracks, in order to obtain a space of peace, where we can enjoy the company of family and friends, in the evenings and nights of our torrential summers.
Furniture of xemeneia
Hydraulic mosaics are used to clad the walls. This is due to the quality that we have highlighted above. We are referring precisely to their great resistance. The walls of a tiled floor can withstand very high temperatures. There are few materials that can withstand them. And even less those that can do so while providing an aesthetic touch.
However, Mosaics Torra's hydraulic mosaics can do it for a small investment. They withstand high temperatures and can be used to decorate our home. Both on the outside and on the door that closes the mechanism we can install hydraulic mosaics that will provide a very special decorative touch. At the same time, they will provide functionality, making the space of the room well delimited.
External sets
For the reasons explained in the part where we talked about the advantages of hydraulic mosaics, we can also talk about outdoor sets such as barbecues. We all know the classic Andalusian patisseries, where a few coloured elements accompanied by vegetation form a beautiful view.
Hydraulic mosaics can help us to achieve this effect and thus create a sense of space. Thus, for example, by covering a mosaic we can make a specific space gain personality and identity.
As we have already pointed out, the great resistance of hydraulic mosaics to high temperatures makes them a very intelligent option.
Offices
Hydraulic mosaics can come in many sizes. More recently they are being used in interior spaces that usually do not have them. In offices we can achieve, using plain mosaics, a very elegant touch. At the same time, as it is a material that is very easy to clean, we can achieve a perfect state at all times.
So, as you will have been able to see for yourself, the possibilities are almost endless. Hydraulic mosaics offer many possibilities. We will describe them in other articles where we give advice on them. Whether you already have them installed or you want to install them somewhere in a space, Mosaics Torra can help you. Ask for information and consult the full range available on our website.
For example, the Victorian collection or the Gaudí collection. With them you can create a space with personality and, at the same time, join a trend that has been fashionable since the 19th century. Consult Mosaics Torra and visit our blog.
