Single-Tone Design
-
Though a professional tile installer may be needed to install your new glass tile, you don't need a designer to create a sleek, single-tone design. Arranging glass tiles in a single color makes a room dramatic if you are looking to create a color-based mood. Look at available tile colors and choose the one that speaks to you or your design theme. For instance, an icy blue tile scheme provides a serene environment in which the occupant can relax and enjoy the sensation of water flowing over the body. Additionally, some glass tiles have a textured surface, that reveal different shades of the same tone when exposed to light.
Imported Glass Mosaics
-
The Internet abounds with online importers of glass tiles from other countries. On a website like Hakatai, a broad range of tiles are available to cover showers and adjacent surfaces, including counter tops, walls, floors and ceilings, with a brilliant mosaic. For example, two tones of charcoal and off-white are arranged randomly in a salt-and-pepper design scheme for the glass-tiled shower. Eight series of glass tiles are available in recycled glass materials. The smaller tiles used in mosaice are economical and priced by the sheet. Arrange tiny tiles of imported glass in random or deliberate mosaics.

Harmony With Clear Glass
-
According to Sheffield School of Interior Design, "a successful room exhibits a sense of harmony." A shower decorated in clear glass tile can offer all of the advantages of the patterned or mosaic glass-tiled shower with none of the fuss. Choose clear glass tile if you want to emphasize the effects of natural or artificial light in your shower. Susan Jablon Mosaics notes that "translucent glass tiles shine and glow when exposed to light, both reflecting and amplifying it, creating warmth and vibrance wherever they are installed." With clear glass in a heavily-cut design, the shower, shower window and shower surrounds produce a sense of light-filled harmony.
