TILE FILE: MARBLE MOSAIC – THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAIL!

I started thinking about marble tile the other day and then I couldn’t stop thinking about marble tile. Why?…I don’t know. Actually I do know why. I have a friend who is buying a house and we started talking bathroom tile and kitchen counters and all of a sudden I was only thinking about tile. My mind zeroed in on marble mosaic tile…classic and elegant…perfect for a bathroom floor I think, or a fantastic entryway perhaps, or even a colorful kitchen backsplash!

What is the cure when you start thinking about something (in a nearly obsessive manner) and can’t get it out of your mind? The answer in all cases is simple…go to the source (whatever that might be).

So, to cure my need to see some traditional/simple marble mosaics, I stopped into one of my favorite stone/tile stores – Royal Stone & Tile located on Sepulveda Blvd. here in Los Angeles.

There! They had what I was looking for…lots of marble mosaic tile patterns….love the look of marble…to me it is a very chic stone. I like the detail of mosaic – it provides a visual point of interest in any room of a home.

How much would a marble mosaic tile floor cost?

PRICING MARBLE MOSAIC TILE (approximate prices) –

    • Pre-made sheets – Pre-made sheets of mosaic run approximately $15 per square foot depending on where you purchase (range is probably around $13-20 per square foot).
    • Custom – If designing your own mosaic tile pattern (picking and choosing colors and designing patterns), the tile can cost you anywhere from $25-35 per square foot.
  • Borders and Trim – Borders and trims as seen below are used on backsplashes, floors and sometimes inside showers…and can run from $40-50 per linear foot and are sold in pieces.

That means for a 10’x10′ bathroom…the tile cost for a pre-made traditional pattern marble mosaic floor would be approximately $1500 (this of course does not include installation or other materials).
