KITCHEN WEEK: MAKING A SPLASH WITH MOSAICS!

May 5, 2011
  • Share
kitchen with white cabinets and drawers, stainless appliances and black and white tile walls

KITCHEN WEEK keeps on cooking (sorry…cliche…trite…I know…but you know me…can’t help myself)!

So I’ve been enjoying having a little design focus this week so much that KITCHEN WEEK will extend through Sunday…a full 7 days instead of the 5 days that I promised earlier in the week. So it seems the notion of some order in my hectic life is actually inspiring me to be slightly even more productive. Well who knew? (Please once again do not answer…I know you will all just say, “Coco…of course being organized and having a plan will make you more productive…hello?…who are you?…how could you not know this?” For fear of what you might answer…I hereby make the “Well who knew?” question completely and entirely rhetorical)

So…back to being focused…kitchens…yes kitchens…

I love an intricately designed mosaic ceramic tile backsplash! Especially love a mosaic tile with a Moroccan feel. Hence, I absolutely adore this image of an all white kitchen with a detailed mosaic backsplash that goes all the way to the ceiling! This idea works with either dark or light cabinetry I think. As long as everything else in the kitchen is very simple, I think a mosaic backsplash with lots of detail can make the space!

Here’s a look at a few mosaic tiles I’m loving right now…need another kitchen to remodel. I want this in my kitchen!

Mosaic House – Darj – $116 per piece (11.75″x11.75″ mosaic ceramic tile)(above)
Mosaic tile with a white, lavender and brown star pattern
Mosaic House – Mogador – $136 per piece (13.25″x13.25″) (above)

What do you think of mosaics on your kitchen walls? Just right or too much? What is your ideal backsplash look?

Happy Thursday!

    Mine is a mirrored back splash….I absolutely love it. People ask if it is hard to clean, but really, just a little Windex…super easy.

    I have a mosaic on my kitchen walls -it’s a minimalistic kitchen, the mosaic is 6 cm wide. It looks cool!

    My back splash for the moment is the same as my granite though it actually looks really nice. Once we are done with the remodel and have some free budgeting again we plan to replace the counters with polished concrete (my husband’s specialty) and a new back splash. The mosaic is a bit out of my liking, however that kitchen is lovely.

    I usually like a backsplash but sometimes it’s better without. I do however LOVE this photo! I love the black with the white on white- it gives it a really nice illusion without being too much. I have to give you some credit Coco- I didn’t used to like white on white so much until reading your blog. Thank you for inspiring me!

The right chandelier doesn’t just light a room, it becomes the room. Scale, material, placement. When it’s done right, everything else arranges itself around it.

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
