Mosaic Tiles in Australia: An Ancient Art Form for the Modern World
If you’re looking for mosaic tiles in Australia, many options are available, including glass mosaic tiles, ceramic mosaic tiles and mosaic floor tiles. When you choose to use mosaic tiles in your home, you are part of a tradition that dates back to ancient times.
What are mosaics?
A mosaic is simply an image or pattern made from small regular or irregular shaped pieces of coloured ceramic, stone or glass. These pieces, called tiles, are held in place with plaster, mortar or another adhesive. Mosaics have long been used to decorate floors and walls, and they were widespread in Ancient Rome.
Mosaics were first used in Mesopotamia in around 3,000 BC. Pebble mosaics were made in early Ancient Greece. Later, mosaics with patterns and images were widely produced in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Mosaics, including marble mosaics, continued to be used during the Byzantine Empire between the sixth and fifteenth centuries. Mosaic art and decoration were used throughout Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, including the Norman Kingdom of Sicily, the Republic of Venice, and Kievan Rus’. After falling out of fashion during the Renaissance, mosaics are now popular for use in homes across Australia.
While mosaic tiles have been used for many applications since ancient times, they now add style and flair to homes, indoors and out. The range of shapes and materials creates many options to bring beauty to your home.
What are the options for using mosaic tiles in your home today?
Mosaic tiles are now recognised as a modern solution for homes and public spaces in Australia today. You can use mosaic tiles in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, patios, cafes, restaurants and more.
Glass mosaic tiles
Glass mosaic tiles offer a range of options. With over 20 colours, beautiful shapes and unique texts, your choices are infinite. This makes it easy to integrate your personal style into the interior and exterior of your home. The tiles we supply are entirely made by hand, so each one is unique.
Glass mosaic tiles are slightly transparent and reflect light. This can make a kitchen appear larger than when using regular opaque ceramic tile. They are less porous than ceramic tiles, so they resist mould and mildew.
Glass mosaic tiles are perfect for shower walls because they are water-resistant and available in many attractive colours and patterns. In addition, because glass mosaic tiles reflect light, your shower will appear larger.
Glass tiles are considered a superior option for bathroom surfaces and are available in various colours, shapes, textures and finishes. These tiles will illuminate any bathroom with wonderful colours and are ideal for the walls, floors, tub and shower surrounds, or just for accents.
Pools come alive with a myriad of sizes, colour combinations and finishes available with glass mosaic tiles. They are easy to maintain, last a lifetime, and give the water clarity that cannot be duplicated.
Ceramic mosaic tiles
Ceramic mosaic tiles can be used in many applications. With a broad range of shapes, sizes and colours to choose from, you can create many different combinations to match any decorating scheme. These tiles can serve as floor tiles, wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks, patio tiles, bathroom tiles and much more.
Mosaic floor tiles
While used for artworks and walls, floors are the perfect place for mosaic. Mosaic floor tiles will make any floor stand out and can be used to complement any style or decor, inside and out of your home. Whether you choose mosaic floor tiles for your entryway, lounge room, kitchen, bathroom, patio, or all these tiles give you infinite options to make your home unique and beautiful. They’re also perfect for public venues, such as cafes, restaurants and hotels.
Mosaic floor tiles are an excellent choice for areas that are prone to water or dampness. In these situations, using smaller tiles with many grout lines provides more grip and reduces the potential for slips and falls in bathrooms and showers.

In past we were also involved in the unique commercial restoration of Palazzo Versace project, Emerald Lakes and the Candy Shop Mansion project. We are known for our unique hand-made products.
Business History
As Spanish immigrants who landed in Australia in 2014, we integrated successfully into the Gold Coast and building industry and made it our love to share with locals our background in mosaic art. We wanted to alleviate the common building industry problem of trying to get something high quality, creative and unique in design and having to wait a long time for shape, quantity, colour and design, without the excessive cost. We have now left our mark in Australia.
Our Products
At Maurimosaic we offer custom mosaic tiles, custom splashbacks (stained glass, mirror, ceramic), mosaic wall art, mosaic murals and design. All of our products are made to order and can be ordered online or in-person with booking. We also have exported to the USA, UK and SOUTH AMERICA many times since we created the company in Australia in 2015. We provide handmade products which are delivered in less than 15 business days, made in Australia and offer a lifetime warranty. Our goal is to redecorate the Gold Coast building industry with the Maurimosaic way.
At Maurimosaic, “Nothing is impossible”
