Creating A Unique Wall Or Backsplash With Arabesque Tile

Patterned tiles are making their way back into interiors in a big way, including the arabesque. This style of decoration has a rich history that dates back thousands of years to Hellenistic artisans working in Asia Minor. Its ornamental design originated from a naturalistic theme of intertwining plants as well as abstract curvilinear patterns. From the Renaissance until the 19th century, they were used in Europe to decorate everything from pottery to furniture to walls, including the open galleries of the Vatican. Today, you can find arabesque featured as backsplash tile in a kitchen, a unique feature wall in an entryway, or a shower surround in the bathroom. Depending on the size, color, and finish, the exotic designs of arabesque tiles beautifully blend well with traditional to contemporary décor, and they’ll give your space an elegant, refined look in an updated fashion. 

Bianco Arabesque

Bianco Arabesque is a white, ceramic mosaic tile with an ecru coloring that gives it more depth and dimension. With its thicker grout lines, raised pattern, and glossy sheen, it may be more suitable for a backsplash design in a more traditional kitchen, or it could give an eclectic living room global character when used as a feature wall. 

Greecian White Arabesque

The thin grout lines give it a more modern feel and beautifully accentuate the crisp edges and smooth curves of these opulent mosaics. Due to its flat pattern, it can be used as flooring in addition to countertops and wall applications for residential use as well as light use in commercial spaces.
