Swimming Pool Mosaic Tile Ideas

Inground pool owners across America are upgrading plaster and pebble surfaces with hand laid glass pool tile.

Pool mosaics have infinite design possibilities. Small tile accents, or large underwater tile murals with intricate floral or scroll designs. The color palette is also – unlimited!

Pool tile ideas is a big topic for this little blog, so let’s dive right in with some small uses of pool mosaic tiles, and then look at what becomes possible with larger budgets.

Pool Mosaic Inlays

A quick way to accessorize your pool is with decorative tile accents that are put in place when the pool is re-plastered.

Here we have a family of Dolphins swimming off toward the deep end. Inlays are set in place before plaster, and can be placed anywhere.
Not just dolphins, there are dozens of other sea life creatures, and dozens of floral and coral designs to choose from. Mermaids are popular, as are sharks and turtles

You can order pool mosaic accents through your plasterer or order yourself on-line and have it available. Prices range from as low as $25 for small pieces, and go up as high as $2000, for larger more intricate designs. 

Pool Mosaic Murals

A tile mural is a painting or picture superimposed onto ceramic tiles. They are often used on walls or floors, and can also be underwater. Any image, design or logo can be printed onto pool tiles. Of course pool tile murals can go beyond printed images, and be custom crafted designs that use the pool interior as one giant canvas!  With pool mosaics like these, the entire pool is tiled, as opposed to small pool mosaics that are stuck on and plastered around. For these jobs you need a pool mosaic tile specialist. Above and below is some of the work done by Anne Lubner Designs http://www.annelubnerdesigns.com/2010/08/worlds-most-extraordinary-pools-and-mine/.

Pool Mosaic Designs

Abstract pool tiles with shades of blue and green. It certainly looks cool, attractive and very much inviting.  If you prefer, abstract underwater art can be the perfect style for your backyard. Like the pool above. And our last pool mosaic, is an all-tile abstract design that looks simply beautiful, and is attainable without engaging designers and artists.
