Headboards can become a most original complement with the implementation of hydraulic tiles as the main decorative element. The wide variety of designs and colors available in the current hydraulic tile market allows for various and original combinations, thanks to the great diversity of collections from which we can choose.
On one hand, we can choose to combine tiles of the same design, choosing the color that best matches the background of the wall. Another somewhat bolder design consists of making a patchwork combination in which originality and the creation of headboards full of colors and shapes are of special importance, creating a unique design together.
Another way to create more innovative combinations is by integrating the hydraulic tile with other types of materials such as wood, plastic, marble, and almost any other material available for creating headboards full of personality.
One of the peculiarities of hydraulic tiles is that they can be perfectly integrated with any type of decoration, from retro styles to the most contemporary ones. Original, innovative, and with multiple possibilities, hydraulic tiles are back in fashion in many spaces.
Turning My Inner Courtyard into an Artistic Mosaic
I’ve always liked the idea of turning my inner courtyard into an artistic mosaic, with various motifs representing diverse landscapes, making me feel in some way that it has a bit of the aroma of all those known places in the world, and also of the unknown ones, which evoke pleasant memories, or keep alive the illusion of visiting them someday.
A wall recalling the spectacular landscapes of the Sahara Desert on a full moon night, another one that reminds me of the hanging houses of Cuenca, or the impressive Angel Falls in Venezuela; a floor 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 believe that a space where we spend part of our time, specifically the time we dedicate to activities other than our work, is an ideal place to recreate images that serve to transport our imagination to situations that occupy
a pleasant space in our particular memory chest, and the idea of doing it on artistic mosaic… I like it.
Rustic Hydraulic Tiles for My Basement
I’ve always had the idea of turning the basement of my house into a comfortable living room, where I can enjoy my favorite hobbies, music, reading, etc., in total tranquility, enjoying the coolness in summer, when the heat is intense, and the warmth of a good fireplace made with refractory brick, on a comfortable rustic hydraulic tile floor, properly treated.
A floor covered with the right hydraulic tiles, in addition to being an ideal floor to express my aesthetic concept, provides the desirable properties in terms of transpiration, warmth, or coolness desired in each climatological stage of the year, and helps turn a basement into a special place to disconnect from daily stress, to enjoy pleasant leisure time, alone or in company.
Enjoying a good dinner, cooked over the fire of the fireplace, giving it that special flavor that only the fire of burning firewood can provide to a meal, is one of the many gratifying activities that we can carry out in a well-conditioned basement, and covered with rustic hydraulic tiles, which provides that calm atmosphere that we sometimes need.
A Chessboard Mosaic for Chess Enthusiasts
For an enthusiast of this noble and popular sport, having a table whose top is a chessboard mosaic, located in some part of his house, in the patio or garden, on the terrace, etc., besides being a visual gratification, provides him with the possibility of having a special piece entirely to his liking, in a personalized and designed corner for his enjoyment.
In, his corner, he can enjoy playing a game with a family member or friend, listening to music, reading a good book leisurely, or simply enjoying the beautiful board that he has designed or chosen, while he reflects or converses enjoying a good coffee, knowing that if the liquid spills accidentally, his mosaic chessboard will not be damaged.
It is essential to choose or design your chess mosaic board, with the motifs, colors, size, and shape that best suit your taste, and accompany this aesthetic set with the appropriate light and plants, which enhance the feeling of comfort and well-being, either self-sufficiently or by being advised by the professionals of the design department of Torra Mosaics.
Recovering My Patio Well with Hydraulic Tiles
Having a well in the backyard of the house is something that was quite common some years ago and even today, in small towns or areas not too overloaded by the urban development typical of big cities, and although today it doesn’t have the essential utility it had in the past, it’s still a useful and decorative element at the same time, which gives a special touch to the aesthetics of the patio. We can cover it with hydraulic tiles.
Logically, such a traditional element must be treated with extreme care when covering it, taking into account the other elements that are part of the composition; when choosing colors, designs in their case, and suitable material to cover it with tiles that must always serve to enhance its typism, turning it into the central element of the environmental composition that is the patio.
When making this composition, in addition to the dimensions of the well and the patio, the colors that predominate in walls, floor, and other elements must be taken into account, essential data that will guide us towards hydraulic tiles, to achieve a leisure space, where we can enjoy the company of family and friends, on the afternoons and evenings of our torrid summers.
Fireplace Furniture
Hydraulic mosaics are suitable for covering fireplaces. This is due to the quality we previously highlighted. We refer precisely to its great resistance. The walls of a fireplace can reach very high temperatures. Few materials can withstand them. And even fewer that can do so while providing an aesthetic touch.
However, the hydraulic mosaics from Mosaics Torra can do it for a small investment. They withstand high temperatures and can be used to decorate our fireplace. Both on the external part 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, ensuring that the space of the fireplace is well delimited.
Outdoor Sets
For the reasons explained in the section 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 patios, where a few colorful elements accompanied by vegetation form a beautiful view.
Hydraulic mosaics can help us achieve that effect and implement, with it, the feeling of space. Thus, for example, with the covering of a fireplace, we can ensure that a specific space gains personality and identity.
As we highlighted earlier, the great resistance of hydraulic mosaics to high temperatures makes them a very smart option.
Offices
Hydraulic mosaics can come in many sizes. More recently they are being used for indoor spaces that had not traditionally had them. In offices, we can achieve a very elegant touch using plain mosaics. At the same time, since it is a very easy material to clean, we can achieve a perfect state at all times.
So, as you have been able to verify, the possibilities are almost endless. Hydraulic mosaics offer us many possibilities. We reveal them to you in other articles where we give you advice about them. Whether you already have them installed or want to install them somewhere in a space, Mosaics Torra helps you. Ask us for information and check out the entire range available on our website.
