Is mosaic good for a kitchen backsplash?
Mosaic tile backsplashes create dazzling effects, stealing the show and forcing other elements to play along. So, when choosing a mosaic backsplash, you already know that it will be a statement piece.
As very durable and reliable materials, they offer resistance to heavy use and moisture. But since they are very small, which means they have more grout lines, they are more demanding when it comes to the installation and cleaning processes. Especially if you go with glass mosaics, then you will have to be even more careful while applying the thin-set and grout as they can easily be visible due to the transparent nature of the glass tiles.
But, even though the cleaning and installation of the mosaic tiles are a daunting task, the result is worth it. They create a well-articulated background. As they come in various patterns and sizes, you can adjust them to any theme.

Small Eclectic Kitchen With Blue Cabinets And Antique Hardware
In this small kitchen, the lively color scheme showcases that just because your kitchen is small doesn’t mean you have to give up on bold colors. And this kitchen accepts the challenge of creating a terrific design out of a compact space. Satisfyingly awash with vibrant blue, it not only energizes the space but also its users. To prevent any possible eye sore, it keeps cabinets flat-front. This way, it boosts the color with no visual intervention. But to compensate for the lack of extra cabinet layout, you can use oversized antique oil-rubbed brass cabinet handles that add a whimsical touch. And if you desire to make the kitchen look bigger, you can use a blue backsplash in the same color as the cabinets to create a monochromatic look in slightly different shades. It will encourage the space to feel larger.
Blue Glass Mosaic Tile Backsplash
Coming in a wide range of sizes and shapes, blue glass mosaic tiles are aesthetic and functional backsplash options. To start with, glass tiles are non-porous, which makes them easy to clean and maintain and resistant to mildew and staining. This non-porous skin also doesn’t leave any space to harbor bacteria. And unlike natural stones, they don’t require any sealing. Secondly, as eco-friendly materials, mosaic tiles help designers and homeowners go green in the kitchen. They can easily be recycled and repurposed for a variety of uses. You can even find their recycled glass tile backsplashes that come with a wood and marble-like look. The hexagon pattern versions of these versions especially give the walls a nice eye-catching finish, along with other designs including silk and iridescent finish blue glass tiles.
When it comes to their aesthetic benefits, you can customize a mosaic tile according to your needs and ensure creating an eye-catching background. Plus, thanks to glass tiles’ luminous nature and natural sheen, they create an interactive place, encouraging natural lights to play around. As such, they also illuminate the space better, enhancing the spaciousness by creating a mirror effect. Especially if you have a mid-century kitchen design, you can combine them with dark woods to create an immersive look.

Modern Kitchen with Glass Tile Backsplash and Lacquered Cabinets
This open-plan kitchen hones all the vibes of a modern design, while the blue glass mosaic tile backsplash offers a colorful background.

The custom-cut stainless-steel backsplash breaks up the total look of the mosaic tiles to designate the stove zone, reaching the ceiling and letting the steel hood fade into the background. The rest is complemented with lacquered white flat-front cabinets. As the gloss finish is prone to fingerprints, the addition of cabinet hardware makes a smart choice. Overall, it looks simple, comfortable, and colorful enough to make someone feel at home and ease, while the light wood floor finish injects a dose of warmth to prevent any ill-look.
Is mosaic tile hard to clean?
As with any other statement material, mosaic tiles have a con, too. Since they are cut into very small sizes, they have more grout lines, which makes them harder to clean when compared to large format tiles that bring less grout. But they don’t require any special cleaning product, unlike natural stones. Mild dish soap is generally enough for the causal cleaning unless you are dealing with a stubborn stain.

Used to define both the top-half and bottom level, the modern cabinets create a streamlined look divorced by a blue backsplash to prevent the kitchen from looking jarring or sterile.

Blue Cement Mosaic Tile Backsplash
Dating back to the 1850s, cement tiles are handmade tiles. They consist of cement, sand, mineral powder, and color pigment compressed with a hydraulic method that makes them hard-wearing in the long term. That’s why they are also known as hydraulic tiles. When compared to ceramic tiles, they have a longer lifespan and are less prone to wear and tear over time. Apart from those, what makes the cement tiles extra special is the slight imperfections the tiles have (because they are handmade), which add more depth and character to the tiles, making each one unique.
Used popularly in many different settings, including staircases, backsplashes, and floors, they are also highly customizable and offer all sorts of looks. Especially the Mediterranean-style kitchens and Moroccan-design spaces use them a lot as they offer intricate vegetal, multi-colored, and non-geometric patterns. The same goes for blue cement mosaic tile backsplashes that provide homeowners and designers with expansive design possibilities. You can confidently integrate these tiles into the farmhouse, modern, and rustic kitchens. The shades of blue, even in their pale shades, impose serenity and tranquility. But if you want something modern for your contemporary kitchen, they also feature various geometric patterns and even scalloped versions in light and bold shades to create a light or statement volume in the background.

Contemporary Kitchen with Terrazzo Floor and Butcher Block Countertops
Nestled in a small corner in an apartment in Paris, this L-shape kitchen feels rich in colors and textures that bind together warm and cool shades masterfully. The blue vertically stacked subway cement tiles run one row along the butcher block countertops, while the top half features white walls that keep the space opened up and bright.

At the intersection point of these different floor designs, sits a cozy eat-in space, which showcases that you don’t only have to use tiles for the kitchen backsplash but also continue them on the tabletop as well to create a continuous design.
How to clean a blue mosaic tile backsplash?
Dish detergent or mild soap, and a bucket filled with warm water are enough to clean a mosaic tile backsplash. But for more stubborn stains, you might need to mix vinegar with water in equal measure. For ease of use, you can keep this mixture in a spray bottle. Or instead, you can make a paste with baking soda and clean the surface with a soft damp sponge.
The same goes for the grout. You can spray the grout lines with a vinegar-water mixture and let it sit for a couple of minutes. This way, you give the mixture enough time to do its job and dissolve the stains. After a few minutes, you can scrub the stains with a soft brush, rinse them, and dry them with a soft cloth.
But if you want to keep your backsplash in its best version for years, regular cleaning is the key. This way, you clean the surface before letting dirt build up, and removing them gets more challenging.

White Farmhouse Kitchen with Blue Backsplash and Timber Stools
If you are looking for a true Mediterranean feel in a modern farmhouse kitchen, just go with a monochromatic look that comes with a weightless appeal to translate the laid-back lifestyle of the Mediterranean into an interior design. And choose a blue tile backsplash with non-geometric and vegetal patterns. Case in point: using different patterns of encaustic blue tiles suits monochromatic looks perfectly, especially because the rest of this kitchen is kept simple. This way, you can break up the monotonic look of the space and ensure diversity.
Another way to give a Mediterranean and farmhouse flair is to integrate wood to inject a sense of warmth. Here, for instance, rustic wooden stools accompany the all-white island, while the white intricate corbels add extra interest with a classy feel to it. Lastly, the sloping ceiling adds a different dynamic to the space, featuring one of the best architectural forms suitable for a Mediterranean farmhouse kitchen.
Blue and White Mosaic Tile Backsplash
If you want to evade a monochromatic look for your kitchen, you can always go with multi-colored backsplashes. But if you don’t want your space to look color-poisoned, then it is better to consider blue and white mosaic tile backsplashes just to be on the safe side. To complement a two-colored backsplash, you can incorporate two-tone cabinetry in blue and white. This way, you can create a continuous design throughout that feels cohesive. Plus, it is almost impossible to go wrong with a blue and white combination. They are almost as classic as white subway tiles and white looks. Especially with the hand-painted blue-white tiles, you can capture a truly authentic feel with a curated look. Also, keep in mind the importance of the colors and their influence on the environment. The combination of white and blue imparts calmness and serenity to the space, revitalizing the overall look.

Blue Mosaic Tile Backsplash with Gray Countertops and White Cabinets
If you have a white-gray combination and wish to deviate from this common concept, introducing a blue and white mosaic tile backsplash makes a great difference. In this contemporary kitchen, for instance, the white, gray, and blue combination compose a fresh vignette, complete with simple yet stylistic touches. These nuanced details include white floating shelves that add a functional element to keep the oft-used stuff within arm’s reach and a trio of kitchen plants placed in woven pots to bring a breath of fresh air and color.
Plus, it is science-proven that the colors evoke certain emotional states in the individuals, upgrading the mood of the space and its users. And if you are looking for a tranquil atmosphere soothing and refreshing, shades of white and gray give a neutral feeling, which you can give a different direction by adding a third color. And here the blue brings serenity, while the mosaics remind us of the pool designs, resorting to an environment of restfulness.
What countertop goes with a blue mosaic tile kitchen backsplash?
As blue mosaic tile kitchen backsplashes are already statement pieces themselves, it is better to choose something that is less attention-seeking to complement them. Thus, generally white quartz and laminate countertops are used popularly with blue mosaic tile backsplashes. But if you want something that has more patterns, you can give a chance to the quartzite, blue granite, marble, and marble-look quartz countertops. Additionally, for a sense of warmth, butcher block countertops can achieve a soft contrast and smoothen the blue shades. To neutralize it, light and dark gray countertops could be incorporated as well. Also, don’t forget the terrazzo countertops that feature blue-orange chips of small sizes. They can accompany blue mosaic tile backsplashes nicely to make for a memorable design.
The second hint that you may follow is the material and finish type of the tiles in the kitchen. For example, if you have a shiny dazzling finish on the glass mosaic tile backsplash, choosing something in a matte finish for the countertop provides a better balance and synchrony between the different design features of the kitchens.
Thirdly, the overall style of the kitchen plays an important role when determining which countertop is better. In contemporary kitchens, for example, granite countertops are not very popular. Instead, quartz and marble countertops rank high. In farmhouse kitchens, for example, you can go with butcher block, quartz (especially for modern farmhouse kitchens), and quartzite countertops.
