Mosaic Monday: 6 Glass Tile Options That Will Never Go Out Of Style

Now that you’ve decided to tile your kitchen and bathroom, you only have about a gazillion more choices to make! And not to pile on the pressure, but the tile you choose will live with you a long time. That’s because typical homeowners remodel only a few times—if that—during their lifetime. 

When picking tile, you want something that’s both sturdy and lovely. You’re looking for a tile that looks on trend; at the same time, you don’t want to fall for a fad that is out of style before the grout dries. For these reasons and more, glass tiles are a perfect choice for kitchen backsplashes, shower walls, tub surrounds, and accent walls. Glass tile won’t chip or fade like paint, and it will look fashionable almost forever. 

Ready to fall in love with the look of light-reflecting glass? Here are a few of our favorite MSI glass mosaic tiles, home accents that are always in style.

Champagne Estate

If you love warm beiges and browns paired with a bit of shimmer, then Champagne Estate 6mm glass tile is perfect for your remodel.
