Still Life Floral Mosaic Splashback

This still life floral splashback sets a scattering of full-blown roses, tulips, peonies and a single sunflower across a white tessellated ground, rising from the worktop to the ceiling line behind a sink and window. Each bloom is built up in warm reds, rust, ochre and soft neutral petals, with the background laid in small white and grey tesserae arranged in loose radiating arcs that catch the light differently to the flowers.

Still Life Floral Splashback Pattern & Design Composition

Layout: the flowers are not arranged in a repeat or a grid but scattered as if dropped across the wall, with large open roses balanced against smaller blossoms and a trailing dark tulip near the top.

Scale: several blooms are rendered larger than life, which lets the detail inside each petal read clearly from across a kitchen.

Palette: warm reds, burnt orange and ochre sit against cream, blush and grey petals, all set into a pale ground.

Handcrafted Mosaic Excellence

Tesserae: the petals are hand cut from irregular glass and stone pieces, shaped to follow the curl of each petal edge rather than cut to a uniform grid.

Background: the white field is laid in smaller, more regular tesserae set in gentle curved courses, giving the ground a quiet, textured surface behind the flowers.

Finish: grout lines are kept narrow and consistent, so the mosaic reads as continuous artwork rather than individual tiles.

Inspired by Dutch Flower Painting

The composition draws on the still life flower paintings of the Dutch masters, where blooms from different seasons are gathered together in one arrangement. Translated into mosaic, that same density of petal and leaf is rebuilt tessera by tessera, with the glass and stone catching light in a way paint cannot.

Best Applications for Still Life Floral Splashback

This piece is built as a kitchen splashback, running the full height behind a sink, hob and worktop run. It suits a kitchen with plain cabinetry in a solid colour, where the mosaic can carry the pattern and the units stay quiet. For a kitchen in a different palette, request a custom mosaic design to match the flowers to your own colour scheme.
