Starburst Medallion Mosaic Splashback

This starburst medallion splashback sets a row of radiating octagonal medallions across a geometric lattice, each one built from fine teal and grey tesserae fanning out from a dark centre point. The piece covers the wall behind the worktop in a continuous repeat, with the medallions framed by a grid of white, grey and warm stone-toned tiles cut into bands, dots and interlocking octagon shapes.

Starburst Medallion Pattern & Design Composition

Layout: the medallions sit on a wide spacing, each one a perfect octagon containing a sunburst of narrow rays that fade from deep teal at the centre out to pale grey at the rim. Between the medallions the lattice carries smaller accent octagons picked out in black and taupe glass, with straight bands of micro mosaic tying the whole composition together.

Palette: stone tones of ivory, grey and taupe form the ground, while teal glass tesserae supply the colour accent inside each medallion. Small black tiles mark the centre of every starburst and recur as a punctuation point through the lattice.

Handcrafted Mosaic Excellence

Every ray in this mosaic is hand cut, the tiny tesserae tapering in width as they near the centre so the radiating effect reads cleanly from across the kitchen. The surrounding lattice is pieced tile by tile, with grout lines kept tight and consistent across the full run of medallions.

Materials: a mix of stone and glass tesserae gives the piece its texture, matte stone in the lattice against the gloss of the teal glass inside the medallions.

Inspired by Art Deco Geometry

The repeating octagon and sunburst motif draws on Art Deco pattern making, where a single geometric unit is set out in a disciplined grid. Here that approach is scaled to fit a run of kitchen wall units, giving a splashback that reads as pattern first and detail second.

Best Applications for Starburst Medallion Splashback

This design suits a kitchen splashback run behind a worktop and sink, where its scale and repeat can be seen across the full width of the units. It also works well on a shorter run behind a hob or within a wet room wall, anywhere the warm tones and geometric structure can sit against plain cabinetry.
