Types of Stone Mosaic Backsplash
The term mosaic originates from "MOSAIC," a meticulous decorative art form that began with colored inserts like pebbles, shells, tiles, and glass to create patterns on walls or floors. The earliest mosaics evolved from the practice of ancient cave dwellers paving marble floors for durability. Over time, this art transformed into various mosaic styles, including stone mosaic backsplashes that add depth, texture, and character to modern spaces.
