Mondrian tiling???

[Newby_New]

Hello everyone & thanks in advance for taking the time to read & respond.

I'm planning to create a sort of Mondrian design with the tiles in my kitchen. I have no clue about the practical matters, I just know how I would like it to look. I do have a pro in to do the actual tiling but time is of the essence and I need to get the tiles in before he starts work!

To do it I'll need plain black and plain white tiles and very bright yellow, red and blue tiles. It seems like I can get these colours from some ranges, but I need them to be different sizes too.

Can anyone tell me whether it is important to use tiles from the same range for this project (I don't want it to be uneven etc) and if so does anyone know of any ranges available (on a pretty limited budget) with these colours and different sizes? Or can anyone advise me on how I can achieve the look I would like?

Many thanks!

Rainsco did a Mondrian style toilet perhaps you could look for that it was very stylish

I have always thought about having this in my bathroom when I buy, very cool in my opinion.

Bizarrely I was looking at a pile of 500 off cut pieces of travertine in all shapes and sizes and thought that it would make a completely mad mosaic around some strategically placed 60-40's.

When you're done, post some pics.

Thats why he needs a new cutter!

Not sure if 'Mondrian' describes the layout of the tiles or if it's coupled to the geometric range of colours divided by linear inlays.
Its certainly a specific style and takes me back to an early 1980's bathroom I had in red/white/blue - funny enough when I sold the flat it was the first thing the new owners changed!

In answer to your post use tiles from the same range. The Mondrian effect is not cheap so ask yourself can I really afford it and do it right. How long do you want it to last for? That can also influence your costs.

Working to a supplied tile pattern. The pile of pieces were wide ranging. I'll post some pics when I get them off my phone and onto here. To be honest, I almost changed my mind and wanted to do my wet room with them but i'm going to stick to my 90 x 45's and 2" Carrera marble mosaics.

Just suprised. One advantage i find with using stone, at least with past jobs ive done is waste is minimal.
