Glass Mosaic Tile Ceilings
When choosing options for a ceiling surface, the decision is often limited to "White or Off-White?" Rarely do designers consider adding color or patterns to ceilings and even less commonly are materials other than paint or stucco chosen. At Susan Jablon Mosaics, we think this is unfortunate. Because they encounter virtually no daily wear and tear, ceilings can be designed with priority and focus given to style rather than function. Glass tiles, used as an accent or to cover the entire space, are a great choice for ceilings. We like to give a different spin on the concept of a "glass ceiling".
Understatement seems to be a key consideration when designing ceilings. This is understandable if color and pattern are already played up in furniture, floors, and wall decorations. A room with too many details can be overwhelming and for these cases it’s often best to use the ceiling as a supporting design space. For an understated look, try using larger tiles in neutral tones. Doing this will add depth to the surface and bring light into the room, but won't detract from the more central design elements. Dark rooms will shine from above with the addition of light glass mosaic ceiling tiles.
If an entirely-tiled ceiling seems a bit overwhelming, consider using a mosaic blend to create an artistic border that ties in furniture or wall colors. You can also use glass tile to create a border around overhead lights. When placed close to light sources, tiles will shine and sparkle. For a truly artistic look, use metallic tiles on a dark backdrop to create a starscape overhead.
For the more daring designers, Photo Mosaic artwork or tile murals can give a room the ultimate designer's touch. Create your own Sistine Chapel style tile mosaic using a DaVinci-inspired scene or a favorite photograph. Restaurants and bars would benefit from tiling a the establishment's logo overhead. Using the Susan Jablon Mosaics’ PhotoMosaicCreator you'll soon be able to create a custom mosaic blend from an electronically submitted file. Chose a gorgeous landscape, a still life, or a corporate logo; we’ll create the glass tile mosaic that will bring your picture to life.
For a really different look, Susan Jablon Mosaics also offers Stainless Steel Tiles. Available in larger sizes, these tiles easily cover expansive spaces and offer a 'less busy’ look for overhead installations. Reminiscent of traditional 19th century copper and tin ceilings, yet perfect for more modern industrial-style loft apartments, we love the look created when these tiles are used on ceilings. The combination of modern steel and artistic simplicity harmonize to create an innovative ceiling design suitable for old and new homes alike.
