The use of mosaic tiles has always been a beautiful way to display descriptive images. Archaeologists have long known that in ancient Greece, artists used mosaics to depict elaborate pictorial scenes set within borders, much like the design of a carpet. The Greeks may have begun the trend, but have you looked around lately? Every country seems to have its own unique way of designing with mosaics; Italy and Spain lead the charge with their gorgeous products. Mosaics continue to fascinate and inspire designers because of the endless range of design schemes and colors available. Used as a subtle backdrop, mosaics will add panache without vying for center stage. For those brave souls who want to make a design statement – these products from Hastings Tile & Bath help provide the freedom for designers to discover their inner Antoni Gaudi. REL Series If you are looking to create a dramatic effect, there is so much that can be done with transparent glass mosaics. The fourteen available colors of the REL Series from Hastings Tile & Bath, plus their versatile circular or square shape, lends itself to a variety of moods. Glossy, sassy and visually arresting, these circles seem to be the design equivalent of a Rorschach test. What do you see?
	RLO Series Mosaic tiles don’t have to be just glass or ceramic; porcelain is just as beautiful and flexible. The RLO Series from Hastings is a simulated natural stone-look porcelain tile that is available as a large format (24? * 24?) or 4? * 24?, 3? * 24? horizontal mosaic or 12? * 12? mosaic. Using any combination of the creamy colors available, designers are able to fashion wall or floor designs that are elegant, unique and able to withstand heavy traffic.
