Small, decorative pieces of glass, stone, or ceramic arranged on a mesh backing and applied to a wall behind a kitchen counter or sink are available at home improvement retailers. These pre-assembled sheets simplify the process of installing a visually interesting and durable surface in a frequently used area. As an example, consider the application of a geometric patterned arrangement of blue and white squares to protect a wall from splashes and provide an aesthetic focal point.
The use of such surface coverings in residential settings provides several advantages, including ease of cleaning, resistance to moisture damage, and enhancement of the visual appeal of a space. Historically, the practice of decorating surfaces with small pieces dates back to ancient civilizations, and this method offers a modern homeowner the opportunity to incorporate timeless design principles with contemporary materials.
