Designs include; fish, shells, reef scenes, dolphins, beach balls, turtles, cartoon characters, mermaids, sports logos and the list goes on and on. Many tile mosaics are now being manufactured with a shadow design. The shadow design allows the mosaics to appear more realistic in the water and is a great option to consider. Tile mosaics are available from a variety of manufactures, some using small pieces of tile to others which use much larger tile pieces.

Once you have decided on the particular tile mosaics, check with your construction company and ask them to allow you to place the mosaics in the exactly in the pool and spa location you would like. Mosaic location in the pool is very important to obtain the desired visual effect. When choosing a particular item or design, try to visualize if the piece will look better on the walls for a side view or if the mosaic appear better on the floor of the pool for a top down look.
