In our time, mosaics with Roman paintings in the interior are beginning to experience a renaissance. Pieces of stone, in the form of tiles, carefully matched to each other, form a unique and inimitable canvas.
At one time, mosaic played the role of an integral part of ancient Roman art, without which even now it is difficult to imagine. It's like a business card style. Even today, the patterns of which the mosaic floors consisted of various types of stone, sm alt, glass, and ceramics are found by archaeologists during excavations. During the heyday of the Roman Empire, mosaics were used as the main decoration of floors and walls in palaces, public buildings, and private homes.
Roman style mosaic tiles scenes
Flower ornaments, birds, animals, landscapes and still lifes - all these are image plots for the Roman mosaic tile. In any of the execution styles (and mosaic is produced not only in the form of tile products, but also in the form of medallions, rotundas, carpets, paintings), it is beautiful. The décor, created with Roman-style mosaics, gives the interior a touch of elegance and conviviality.
Background elements are dominated by light and large patterns, the background is formed from tiles imitatingmonochromatic stone with chaotic styling. Drawings and figures are applied to the canvas of a smaller size. In some themes, there are also larger images - for the outline style of design.
The variety of plots of the Roman mosaic floor tiles "Falcon" varies from simple ornaments to multi-figured compositions. The relief canvas of the painting is distinguished by a complex spatial orientation. Entire scenes can be formed from small tiles, combined with vine leaves as framing elements, animals and mythological characters, ancient Roman deities, love stories, sea voyages, hunting paintings and theatrical performances.
Here the choice of plot directly depends on the wishes of the customer or the functional purpose of the room, and, in addition to ready-made models from the catalog, it can be made individually.
The variety of colors depends on the preferences of the customer or the imagination of the master. Thus, mosaics created for large palaces or vaulted halls are distinguished by their scale and variety of colors, while mosaic tiles for a small room or individual Roman panels look more organic and restrained.
Scope of the mosaic
Modern technology, combined with the secrets of ancient craftsmen, allows you to use mosaics almost anywhere a customer can wish.
Mosaic is suitable for use both in interior design: in the living room, dining room, bathroom or kitchen, and in the exterior design of the facades of elite mansions. pools,fireplaces, stair treads, columns, cornices and roman mosaic countertops are back in vogue today.
Most often, mosaic production companies receive orders for the production of tile products for finishing large halls and fireplace rooms with high ceilings. Mosaic floors look the most impressive. This technique was used at one time by the Roman aristocrats. Today, designers are experimenting by lining not the entire floor, but its individual parts, which act as a bright decorative element of the interior.
Wall panels look no less interesting. Such elements set the tone for the entire room, emphasize the style, while being a durable wall covering that is not afraid of time and does not fade.
The tiled ceiling with a certain theme looks interesting when decorating friezes or multi-tiered elements of the ceiling structure. It is important that the mosaic tile does not burst, does not crack and does not require special care for the coating.
Materials for mosaics in the interior
To create a Roman mosaic, various materials are used. These are marble and natural stones: tuff, onyx, less often pebbles and small sea pebbles. Natural materials make it easy to convey the beauty of color. The stone has high strength characteristics, resistance to moisture and water. Such material is easy to find and purchase.
Today, tile products with Roman mosaics, the photos of which we offer in the article, are made from a special ceramic composition,characterized by strength and durability. A special technology of applying the image allows you to accurately convey the picture and create a unique texture of mosaic tiles.
Roman style mosaic features
Floor and wall mosaics were used to decorate the room and served two main purposes: decorating the interior and ensuring its functionality.
Describing the Roman mosaic, I would like to note that its inherent richness and luxury are harmoniously intertwined with notes of lightness in the composition. Compared to the monumental images of mosaics of Byzantine origin, this coating is characterized by everyday life and, at the same time, an elegant and decorative effect that gives it festivity.
Floors made of modern mosaic-style tiles do not compromise with ancient drawings, on the contrary, they look even more interesting. Today, mosaic tile allows you to more accurately convey the beauty of millennial motifs, giving them a new modern look.

Echoes of thousands of years of traditions, celebrations and rituals, conveyed in the mosaic, are successfully reflected in the line of tile products of the Sokol plant. Here you can choose products with thematic images for the bathroom, kitchen backsplash or hallway.
Mosaic "Falcon" is actively used for lining pools and fountains, as among the technical characteristics of such a product there is also water resistance.
The collection range includes three lines of shades: blue,beige and blue. Even today, Roman mosaics are used not only for wall cladding, but also for creating durable flooring.
Price of finishing materials
Compared to the prices of foreign mosaic tiles, the domestic manufacturer's products are in the middle level, and in the global market it occupies an intermediate position between cheap and medium-priced products.
As you can see, the popularity of the mosaic has not diminished over the years. In different eras, she occupied an important position in architecture and interior design. As you have noticed, today everything old and forgotten is gradually returning to fashion, as well as Roman mosaics.
