Poppy Mosaic Splashback

This poppy mosaic splashback carries a cluster of poppy blooms across an arched panel, each flower built from hand cut tesserae in deep indigo, cobalt and soft ice blue against a pale grey ground. The piece is set behind a kitchen sink and worktop, where the flowers spill from the upper corner down towards the counter, with slender blue stems that threads between the blossoms and seed pods.

Poppy Mosaic Splashback Pattern & Design Composition

Layout: the poppies are arranged in a loose diagonal sweep, large open blooms at the top thinning out into smaller buds and curling stems near the base, so the eye moves naturally down towards the worktop.

Palette: the design holds to a blue family throughout, ranging from near-black navy petals through mid blue to pale milky white, with a scatter of gold-flecked tesserae at the flower centres.

Background: the ground tile is cut and set in a swirling, fan-like pattern of small grey and white pieces, giving the backdrop its own quiet texture rather than sitting flat behind the blooms.

Handcrafted Mosaic Excellence

Technique: every petal, bud and stem is hand cut and placed piece by piece, with the tesserae following the curve of each petal edge rather than being laid in straight rows.

Tesserae: close in, the glass and stone pieces vary in size, smaller fragments used for the shaded centres of the flowers and larger flat pieces for the open petal fields, which is what gives the mosaic its depth.

Finish: the surface sits smooth and even once grouted, with the blue stems and gold stamens adding a quiet glint against the matt blue and grey tesserae.

Inspired by Garden Florals

Theme: the piece draws on a garden floral study, the kind of loose botanical sketch of poppies seen in fabric and wallpaper design, translated here into cut stone and glass.

Mood: the blues keep the design cool and calm rather than bold, suited to a kitchen that wants a quiet focal point rather than a loud one.

Best Applications for Poppy Mosaic Splashback

Kitchen splashbacks: this is the piece’s intended setting, shown here set into an arched recess behind a sink and worktop, standing in for tiling across the full splashback area.

Other walls: the same panel would suit a feature wall behind a dining table or in a butler’s pantry, anywhere a floral focal point is wanted at eye level.
