Peonies, burgundy accents, and a designer’s vision—this custom mosaic tells the story of an evolving design process. Discover how every decision shaped the final piece, tile by carefully placed tile.

Every project has its own rhythm, shaped by ideas, conversations, and moments of discovery. When Tia Ortiz, a senior designer at Lifted Interiors, reached out about a mosaic for a client’s bathroom in Washington, DC, the process that followed was as much about collaboration as it was about craftsmanship.

What began as an interest in a floral design evolved into something uniquely tailored to her client’s space. Along the way, we navigated feedback, adjusted colors mid-production, and worked together to create a gorgeous peony mosaic wall feature.

Where It All Began—Roses to Peonies

Tia initially considered the “White Rose” mosaic from our catalog—a piece known for its classic elegance and clean lines. But as she worked with her client, new ideas began to take shape. She shared an inspiration image (as shown above) that became the foundation for a custom version of the mosaic, blending floral themes with a slightly bolder, warmer palette.
