Fan Palm Mosaic Splashback

This fan palm mosaic splashback fills the wall behind a worktop with a dense stand of fan-shaped palm leaves in teal, turquoise and soft grey, topped by a row of broad gold veined leaves that catch the light along the upper edge. The composition reads as a tropical thicket, leaf overlapping leaf, with the gold leaves rising onto a plain white ground above.

Fan Palm Mosaic Splashback Pattern & Design Composition

Layered fans: each palm leaf is built from radiating wedges of tesserae, fanning out from a central point so the whole leaf reads as a sunburst of its own.

Colour movement: the lower leaves sit in deeper teal and slate, lightening toward paler turquoise and grey as the eye moves up, with the gold fronds breaking the cool palette along the top.

Edge to edge coverage: leaves are packed tightly against one another, giving the splashback a full, botanical density rather than isolated motifs on a plain field.

Handcrafted Mosaic Excellence

Hand cut tesserae: each wedge within a leaf is hand cut and set so the grout lines follow the radiating lines of the fan, giving the surface real texture up close.

Finish: the glass and stone pieces carry a soft sheen, picking up light differently across the teal leaves and the gold fronds.

Scale: this piece is made at 4ft x 5ft, sized to run the full width of a standard worktop.

Inspired by Tropical Botanicals

The design takes its cue from fan palm foliage, the kind of broad, pleated leaf found in a tropical garden, rendered here in mosaic rather than paint. The gold fronds at the top add a more stylised, almost feather-like note against the naturalistic teal fans below.

Best Applications for Fan Palm Mosaic Splashback

This piece suits a kitchen wall behind a sink or hob where a bold botanical panel can stand on its own, without competing patterns nearby.
