You can afford....Custom Tile

Did she say custom tile?

Yup. Yes, that's exactly what I said. Custom tile.

The people at ModWalls have taken all the pain out of searching for the perfect mosaic blend for your project.

Their Brio blend mosaics are made from 3/4" square glass and are available in every color of the rainbow and more. Now, you can create a custom blend of these tiles to fit your style. Heck, you can match just about anything (even your birdie). 

The process is very simple. You use the ModWalls "blender" to select the colors you wish to use from the 75+ shades and styles available. You will be able to see what your blend will look like as you go. You even have control over the percentages. Say you just want a hint a papaya...change it's quantity to 10% and voila! A hint of papaya!

The blender even lets you see what your mosaic will look like with different shades of grout. 

Once you're finished, you can submit the order or order a sample of your custom blend. I'd highly recommend getting a sample first. Colors on monitors are very unreliable. Your papaya might not be the color you thought it was!

So what does it cost?

There's not a set cost of the blends. Custom orders require at least 20 sq. ft. The price of your blend is dependent on how many different colors you used and how much you change the percentages. Even splits are less expensive than say a 10%-40%-50% blend. I ran a few ideas through the 'blender' and even with 7 colors, the price never reached $20/sq. ft. 
You also get discounts as you purchase higher quantities.

How it's made

Each and every custom Brio blend is locally made by hand by Hope Service (a non-profit organization that employs developmentally disabled adults to do all kinds of work). The more than 30 clients from Hope Services create each sheet of your blend with heart. You aren't just getting some tile, you get a work of art. Learn more about Hope Services here.

If that sounds like a lot of work...

Don't worry. They've got your back. 
ModWalls have lots of pre-blended mosaics ready for purchase.
