This spring, Tessellated Tile Factory is celebrating colour, pattern, and design versatility with four inspiring moodboards showcasing the creative potential of mosaics and tessellation. Perfect for residential and commercial spaces, these curated palettes highlight how colour can transform interiors and exteriors into vibrant, welcoming, and stylish environments.
When considering mosaics and tessellations for spring season design, here are key things to keep in mind:
-
Colour Palette – Spring is all about freshness and renewal, so think soft greens, yellows, blush pinks, light blues, and mixed playful tones. These bring energy and brightness to indoor and outdoor spaces.
-
Patterns & Shapes – Lively, geometric tessellations or intricate mosaics can create movement and a sense of vibrancy. Opt for lighter, airier designs that open up a space.
-
Application Areas – Spring is a great time to refresh verandas, patios, foyers, and bathrooms. Outdoor tessellations and mosaic accents can frame entrances beautifully.
-
Balance & Harmony – Even with bold spring colours, pair them with neutrals or softer tones (like grey or white) to maintain sophistication.
-
Durability & Maintenance- outdoor projects especially need weather-resistant materials like porcelain mosaics or tessellated tiles that maintain colour vibrancy season after season.
✨ The takeaway: Choose uplifting colours, versatile patterns, and durable materials to embrace spring while adding timeless charm.
Spring Moodboards
Fresh and uplifting, the green and yellow palette brings an instant sense of energy and renewal. Think sunlit kitchens, refreshing bathrooms, or outdoor courtyards where the colours echo the season of growth and warmth.
The Green and Yellow Mood Board captures the essence of spring through the timeless beauty of mosaics, tessellations, and Victorian subways. At the heart of this display is the porcelain M03 mosaic design in a green, yellow, and white colourway. Its floral-inspired pattern brings a playful yet elegant touch, while the star motif tessellation introduces a classic design seen in popular patterns such as Glentworth, Manchester, and Toorak Panel. This tessellation is beautifully framed by the Richmond border, adding definition and timeless charm to the layout.
To elevate the spring theme further, the design incorporates the decorative encaustic tile ‘Varese’, paired with a star motif to create a focal point rich in heritage character. The tessellated colours—pistachio, light pink, oatmeal, and white—blend seamlessly to evoke freshness and sophistication. Moving indoors, the palette continues with light green and white craquelle Victorian subways, perfectly complemented by pencil and bullnose capping trims. Together, these elements celebrate the lush vibrancy of green and yellow while bringing harmony between indoor and outdoor spaces.

For those seeking elegance with a contemporary edge, pink and grey mosaics balance softness with sophistication. Ideal for feature walls or tessellated pathways, this moodboard creates subtle drama without overpowering the space.
This pink and grey moodboard captures the essence of spring with elegance and charm. At the heart of the design is the Glasgow tessellation, showcased in a soft white, pink, and grey palette—perfect for bringing a fresh, uplifting vibe to any space. Complementing the tessellation is the Norwood border in the same colourway, ideal for exterior applications such as verandahs and pathways, seamlessly tying the design together.
Adding character and a touch of artistry, the centre of the Glasgow tessellation features the decorative Minsk encaustic design, infusing the pattern with charm and sophistication. Enhancing the palette further, light grey mosaics with a white flower motif ( mosaic design Mo3) and a subtle splash of red at the centre create a striking visual, which can be paired beautifully with a natural stone subway tile for a luxurious look.
For the walls, a white Craquelle Victorian subway is accented with white trimming tiles—including Egg and Dart, Helena, and Rope & Pencil listello—with hints of red that echo the mosaic motif, creating a harmonious and refined finish throughout the space.

Cool, calming, and timeless—blue tessellations and mosaics are perfect for bathrooms, pool surrounds, or entryways. This palette captures serenity and strength, adding depth and tranquility to your design.
This blue moodboard showcases a serene and stylish spring-inspired palette. At the centre is the Fitzroy tessellation pattern, featuring shades of blue, light blue, off-white, and black. A single-strip border frames the tessellation, giving it a refined, structured look. Two decorative encaustic tiles, Nante and Acorn, complement the tessellation, adding subtle character and a touch of artistry. This versatile tessellation is ideal for exterior applications such as verandas, pathways, and patios, creating a fresh and inviting outdoor space.
To bring the blue palette indoors, porcelain mosaics in a blue-and-white design—like M03—offer a sophisticated bathroom floor option. Continuing the theme, teal blue trimming tiles can be paired with Egg & Dart, skirting, white Craquelle Victorian subway, and white cord trimming on walls, making this design perfect for kitchen and laundry splashbacks. Incorporating varying shades of blue into drapery, cabinetry, or paint finishes can elevate the space, resulting in a cohesive and exceptional interior that celebrates the calming charm of blue.
