Paths in the country
Broken tile mosaics are a great way to decorate your garden path. There are two options for decoration: cast paving slabs on your own and decorate it with mosaics, or fill in a concrete path and make a pattern of fragments of tiles on the filling itself.
Porch, plinth, steps
A logical continuation of the garden path will be the decoration of the porch with the same mosaic. You can decorate not only the floor, but also the steps. It will be especially interesting if you choose a mosaic by color and come up with a pattern.
Mosaic fence to the envy of neighbors
The implementation of this idea will require a lot of broken tiles and a lot of free time. But on the other hand, no one will have such a fence, and the result will be expensive and prestigious.
Decoration of beds and flower beds
It is rare to see a cottage without flower beds and beds. Now not only the first, but also the second are raised above the ground level. This makes work in the fresh air comfortable, and the plants feel good in this case, especially if the site is periodically heated by groundwater.
Planters and flower vases
Mosaic flowerpots were decorated in ancient Greece, so you may well follow this tradition. Pebbles, beads and pieces of bright glass can be used with tiles for a bright pattern.
Garden benches and tables
Tiled mosaics can also be used to decorate garden furniture. Whether you have a stationary bench with concrete details or a garden table, tiling these items with mosaics will make them unique.
Pond, pool and drinkers
Garden ponds need good waterproofing and a durable finish. Tiles will help you do both. And if a whole tile is expensive to buy, then a broken one will do.
Decorations for summer cottages
With the help of mosaics, you can also decorate summer cottages: sculptures, decorative houses, carts or other decorations.
