Bird and Floral Mosaic Splashback

This bird and floral splashback fills the wall behind the hob with climbing stems, large open blooms and small birds caught mid-flight. Hand cut tesserae in cream form the background, while the flowers and foliage are built up in blue, teal, gold, rust and soft pink, giving the whole piece a vibrant, multicolour finish that reads clearly from across the kitchen.

Bird and Floral Splashback Pattern & Design Composition

Layout: the design runs the full width of the splashback, with a lower band of dense scrolling vine and a taller upper panel where two birds lift above the flowers toward the extractor hood. Curling green stems link the two sections so the eye moves naturally from counter level up to the hood.

Detail: each flower head is built from several tones of mosaic so petals have visible shading rather than flat colour, and the birds are picked out in warm gold and soft red with black outlining for definition.

Handcrafted Mosaic Excellence

Tesserae: the background is laid in tiny, evenly set cream pieces, giving a fine, almost woven texture against the larger cut pieces used for the petals and leaves.

Finish: edges of each flower and bird are hand cut to follow the curve of the design, with no straight mechanical lines, which is what gives this mosaic splashback its hand-finished character.

Inspired by Garden Florals

The pattern draws on a traditional garden motif, climbing florals paired with small birds, rendered here as a mosaic rather than a printed or painted surface. The scrolling stems and layered blooms give the splashback a sense of depth that a flat tile pattern cannot match.

Best Applications for a Bird and Floral Splashback

Kitchen walls: sized for the area behind a hob or sink, this piece works as a focal splashback framed by plain cabinetry and worktop either side.

Pairing: suits warm wood cabinetry and neutral stone worktops, letting the colour in the mosaic carry the room. For a different wall layout in the same spirit, see our request a custom mosaic design page to discuss sizing this pattern for your own kitchen.
