Individually designed mosaic tile ideas are used to create high quality, beautiful kitchens that may even reflect the unique personality of the homeowner. Artfully crafted mosaics add value to the home not only for their beauty, but also for their durability and practicality in any kitchen.

Kitchen tiles ideas are sometimes abstract designs, but they do not have to be. A wall mosaic may depict a montage of vegetables or fruits in bright colors. Another good choice for a sunny kitchen is a sunflowers collage created with mosaic tiles.

Underwater scenes made with neutral beiges and shades of blue have a calming effect and are pleasant to gaze at.

There is no need to remain realistic with kitchen tile ideas. The artist may feel free to place a lobster and a tomato together under the waves, or perhaps fish cavorting in the flowers.

Classic, abstract shapes include swirls, filigrees, and fleur de lis. Celtic knot work makes a good, central design or a beautiful border. Many geometric kitchen tile ideas are designed from the center of the picture out to the edges. The symmetry makes them pleasing to look at.

Abstract designs add beauty, flair, and value to a home kitchen. One key in choosing a design is to use colors in the mosaic that match the colors in the rest of the kitchen. It is easy to repaint kitchen walls a different color, but a mosaic tile display is permanent. Therefore, choosing classic colors will have a large effect on the future value of the home.

Neutral, warm and light tones are excellent choices for abstract design colors. They go with many kitchen color schemes and are easy to work with for a homeowner who wishes to switch from white painted cabinets to natural wood cabinets, for example.

Contrast is necessary in a good design; without contrast, the mosaic will be uninteresting to look at. Contrast is achieved with a dark color or black, a very light or white color, or even varying shades of the same color.

Common spots to brighten up in the kitchen include the most common workspaces, such as over the stove, sink, or food preparation counter. Circular, abstract designs centered on the wall over the stove turn a utilitarian workspace into a work of art. Matching the tile colors to the colors of the stove itself, the teakettle, and other kitchen accouterments makes for a well-integrated kitchen design.

Kitchen tile ideas may be used to create an accent in the kitchen, such as above the stove, but also to cover the wall space of entire kitchen. A muted "Arlechino" design with different tones of yellow or light blue will make a kitchen cheerful but not overwhelming. Slate tiles are used on both the floor and walls of some kitchens, with the cupboards and appliances serving as contrast.

A picture frame should do more than simply protect the artwork within; it should also work together with the art piece to add to the beauty of your home. Finding the right frame to display an art piece can be a daunting task, and this article will highlight some easy guidelines when it comes to picking a suitable frame.

Contrast the frame with the wall

If you have a very colorful wall - maybe one that's covered with wall paper that has intricate patterns, choose a frame that is subtle in color that would contrast with the wall. Suitable choices would be white or pastel colored frames. Avoid choosing a frame that has strong colors as it would compete with the wall for attention, and thus pull attention away from the picture.

Use the frame to compliment the picture

Use the frame not just to protect but also to emphasize the picture and help to complete the story. Choose a frame that adds interest to the picture rather than something that simply matches with the surrounding décor. If the picture sits on a table or is hanging on top of a table, place ornaments like vases, decorative candle holders and pots to add interest to the display and compliment the artwork. You don't have to use conventional looking frames. Be bold - find something unique. You could even use a frame that's entirely transparent to house the picture, or even one that made of bamboo for example.

Use the frame to pull attention to the picture

If you want to bring focused attention to the artwork, you could use a dark frame with a wide dark mat. This makes the picture more vibrant and stands out and also helps to draw the eyes of the viewer to the artwork. Using black for both the frame and mat will make the art work seem like a bright colorful light at the end of a long dark tunnel, screaming at you for attention.

Blend the frame with the surroundings

Blend a picture's frame with the surroundings. If you have medium brown parquet flooring in your home, choose a dark wood frame for the picture. If you have a modern home or office environment, use a silver metallic frame. Choosing frames that compliment with the surroundings will prevent it from looking out of place and sticking out like a sore thumb.

If you have ever thought of creating an abstract painting or you do a lot of abstract work but are looking for new ideas then there are a lot of ways you can think about creating abstract work.

There are two main parts of any abstract work in my opinion and they are colour and form. Creating an abstract painting should be similar to any other painting in terms of the composition - use the rules that you have been taught like the rule of thirds, the golden mean etc to create eye-pleasing work. In terms of the composition itself you can use ideas from real life - perhaps photos that you have taken, clippings from magazines, patterns in materials, floors and nature - to inspire you. Use this just as a rough guide and map out your approximate pattern that you wish to create by pencilling it in on your canvas - you don't have to stick to it but it is good to start you off.

In terms of colour, choose your colours according to the colour wheel - perhaps choose similar colours (blue/purple or orange/red) on the same side of the colour wheel or else opposite colours - for example green and red, purple and yellow etc.

There are many mediums you can use individually or together to form the abstract art. Perhaps try some mixed media with collage or use watercolour paper applied to the painting. Use different types of texture to create interest in the artwork - there are many ways of creating texture and ways of applying the paint. For example, when using acrylic paints you can either apply them straight from the tube or else use them watered down as a glaze. Try using many layers and perhaps adding a glaze at the end and then rubbing some of it off when it is partially dry. This can give a weathered type of effect. You can also sand down some of the painting once the paint has been applied to get a similar effect. Try using acrylic inks for a different effect on the painting.

Another option is to mask off some areas of the painting with masking tape to create patterns of the underlying colour while you paint over the top. Also use things like corrugated card and bubblewrap dipped in paint and applied to the painting to add special effects.

There are really no end of techniques to create abstract artwork and a lot of the techniques are found out by trial, error and often accident, as well as learning techniques from other artists.
