Tile Medallions and Murals

Tile medallions and murals for floors, walls and shower backs, laid out with precise cutting, careful centering and borders that frame the artwork.

A medallion or mural is a work of art set into the room. It can be a round design in the center of an entry, a mosaic scene behind a range or an inlaid border around a bath floor. Homeowners in Nashville use them to give a space personality, and they ask us to set them so they look as if they grew out of the floor.

Precision is everything. We measure the space, find the true center and mark the medallion's position before any tile is set. The surrounding tile is cut to meet the medallion's outline so the lines feel natural. We use the right adhesive for the material, whether it is a water jet-cut stone, a ceramic mural or a mosaic, and we protect it during the project. Borders and field tile are chosen to frame the design without competing with it, and we explain how to care for the finished piece. Order the medallion before the field tile, since its size and edge decide the layout. Ask the supplier for a template or a scaled drawing, and lay the template on the floor to judge scale. Keep the packing materials until the piece is checked for chips and color.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and describe the job

    You tell us the rooms, the tile you like and your timing, and we ask about the floors, walls and any water issues.

  2. 02

    Measure and plan

    We check flatness, moisture and layout from photos or a visit and talk through materials, pattern and trim.

  3. 03

    Review the estimate

    You get a plain written scope with prep, waterproofing, materials, schedule and cure times before anything is ordered.

  4. 04

    We prepare the surfaces

    Old tile comes out, floors are repaired and leveled, backer board and membranes go in and showers are waterproofed and tested.

  5. 05

    We set the tile

    Tile is set with the right mortar, checked for flatness and alignment and cut carefully at the edges.

  6. 06

    Grout, seal and walk through

    We grout, seal and caulk, clean up and walk the finished job with you, leaving written care tips and extra tile.
