Mosaic Art for Pembrokeshire Homes and Holiday Cottages
Much of Pembrokeshire's coastline is protected as the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, and its harbours and villages are full of colour, from the pastel houses above Tenby harbour to the cottages of Solva and Little Haven. I design mosaic art for homes, holiday cottages and businesses across the county from my studio in Bristol, working with interior designers and homeowners alike.
Working Directly with the Artist
Whether you are a homeowner or an interior designer, you work directly with me from the first conversation to the finished piece. I'll take the time to understand the brief, suggest a design and confirm the size, colours and price. Every tile is cut by hand, and I'll send regular photos so you can see the work as it develops.
Designed for the Space and the Light
A bespoke mosaic is made to fit its space exactly, in colours chosen for the room and its light. Coastal interiors often suit the blues, greens and sandy tones of the sea and shore, while a bolder palette can bring warmth to a quiet corner. I work in porcelain and ceramic, and I'll help you choose colours that sit well with your scheme.
Why Interior Designers Commission Mosaic
A mosaic adds something that paint and standard tiles cannot: texture, depth and a piece of original art made for one place. For a holiday cottage or a family home, it gives a room a focal point that guests remember. You can see how clients have used my work on my Client Installations page.
Agreeing the Design Brief
Every project begins with the brief. We'll look at the space, the dimensions and the colours and motifs in your wider scheme, and I'll prepare a design for you to review and adjust. Once the size, colours, design and price are confirmed, we'll agree a production timeline that fits your project.
Bespoke Mosaics for Interior Designers
I enjoy working with interior designers, and I know how much a project depends on clear communication and a reliable timeline. You'll receive regular progress photographs to share with your client, and final delivery is coordinated with you. There is more detail on my Bespoke Mosaics for Interior Designers page.
Texture for Neutral Schemes
In a neutral interior, a mosaic brings structure and texture without upsetting the balance of the room. The tiles catch the light and add depth, so even a small panel can lift a hallway, a kitchen or a landing. It is a quieter way to bring colour into a room than a painted wall, and one that lasts.
Feature Walls and Bathrooms
A larger mosaic can anchor a room or a bathroom. Porcelain and ceramic are practical in humid rooms, and mosaic art can be made in any size, with large pieces made in more than one section where needed so they travel safely. We'll agree the mounting method at the design stage, as I don't generally offer an installation service myself.
Exterior Art for Gardens and Patios
Outdoor mosaics bring colour to gardens, courtyards and entrances all year round. For outdoor pieces I use materials suited to external conditions and seal each mosaic appropriately, and I'll give you advice on caring for yours. House numbers, name plaques and garden panels all work well outside.
What to Expect from Your Commission
Here is how a commission with me usually works:
- A conversation about the brief, with photos and measurements of the space.
- A design to review, with the size, colours and price confirmed.
- A deposit of 10%, which is not refundable, to reserve your place on my schedule.
- Regular photo updates as the mosaic is made in my Bristol studio, then delivery or collection.
Mosaics Across Pembrokeshire
I make mosaics for homes, holiday cottages and businesses throughout the county, including Tenby and Manorbier (SA70), Saundersfoot (SA69), Narberth and Amroth (SA67), Pembroke (SA71), Pembroke Dock (SA72), Milford Haven and Neyland (SA73), Haverfordwest (SA61), St Davids, Solva, Broad Haven and Little Haven (SA62), Fishguard (SA65), Newport (SA42), St Dogmaels (SA43) and Crymych (SA41).
Delivery to Pembrokeshire
Pembrokeshire is beyond my usual personal delivery area of about 100 miles, so for larger pieces we can arrange to meet at a midway point, charged at 45p per mile. Pieces under 30cm by 30cm can go free by Royal Mail Tracked, and every mosaic is packed carefully for the journey.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. I work with interior designers and homeowners across Pembrokeshire, making bespoke mosaics for homes, holiday cottages and businesses. Every piece is hand cut in porcelain and ceramic in my Bristol studio.
Yes. Send me the palette, samples or photos of the room and I'll design the mosaic around them. I'm used to matching colours, from the stained glass in a front door to a mosaic a client already owns.
I don't generally offer an installation service. The mounting method is agreed when we plan the piece, so the contractor fixing it knows exactly what to expect.
Yes. Mosaics are hard wearing and low maintenance, which suits a busy holiday let. Porcelain and ceramic are practical in humid rooms such as bathrooms, and outdoor pieces are sealed appropriately for external conditions.
Each quote is based on the size, the level of detail and the design time. As a guide, 20cm by 30cm starts from £250, 40cm by 60cm from £1,000, 60cm by 80cm from £2,000 and 80cm by 120cm from £4,000.
That depends on the size and detail of the piece and on my schedule at the time. We'll agree a production timeline when the design is confirmed, and a deposit of 10%, which is not refundable, secures your place.
Yes. Smaller pieces under 30cm by 30cm travel free by Royal Mail Tracked, and for larger pieces we can meet at an agreed midway point, charged at 45p per mile.
Yes. Many cottages and holiday lets go by a name, and a mosaic name plaque is a lovely way to welcome guests. I'll design it in the colours and lettering you choose, to suit the building around it.
Mosaic Ideas Inspired by Pembrokeshire
The Pembrokeshire coast is full of subjects for a mosaic. A few ideas to start the conversation:
- Puffins from the islands off the coast
- Grey seals on the beaches and rocks
- The colourful harbour houses of Tenby
- Boats, lobster pots and harbour walls
- Wildflowers along the Coast Path
- The cathedral city of St Davids
For an interior designer, a subject like this can tie a coastal scheme together, and for a homeowner it can capture a favourite place or a family holiday. Either way, I'll design the piece around the room it is going into and the people who will enjoy it.
