Mosaic tiles in kitchens and bathrooms: splashbacks and feature walls, sheet by sheet
Short answer: all twelve mosaic tiles on this site are listed in both the kitchen splashback and the bathroom collections, and they are sold by the sheet, from A$7.95 to A$27.95. Going by each sheet's stated size, that is about A$90 to A$135 per m² for the six ceramic and porcelain mosaics that state a sheet size, and about A$300 per m² for the five natural marble ones. A 1.8 m² kitchen splashback takes 20 to 35 sheets depending on the mosaic, and a 1.2 m² bathroom feature wall 13 to 24. None of the twelve pages records a slip rating, so this page does not cover floors.
The sizes and materials of all twelve are compared in mosaic tile sizes and materials. This page takes the same twelve into two rooms and counts the sheets.
1. Where mosaics go in a kitchen or bathroom
Mosaics are commonly used on kitchen splashbacks, on a bathroom feature wall behind a vanity or bath, and to line a shower niche. Three of the product pages here name a place themselves: Studio Graphite Strip has "a glossy face that lifts a darker splashback", Carrara Petite Herringbone is "for detail areas and niches", and Carrara Stack is "laid in straight courses for a linear wall".
Mosaic shower floors are common too, but none of the twelve pages here records a slip rating, so this page does not suggest any of them for a floor. Whether a tile can go on a particular floor, and how a wet area is prepared, are questions for your tiler. For niches, see tiling a shower niche; for real walls finished in tile, see bathroom feature wall tiles and splashbacks.
2. The twelve, sheet by sheet
Every figure below is from the product pages, read on 3 November 2026, ordered by the price per m². Sheets per m² are worked out from the sheet size each page states. Shaped sheets such as herringbone and hexagon have stepped edges that interlock, so the area a sheet actually covers can differ a little from its outer size; treat the per-m² figures as a guide and settle the final count with your tiler.
| Mosaic | Material | Finish | Sheet size | Piece size | Price per sheet | Per m² (by sheet size) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrara Hexagon | Ceramic | Matt | 282 × 325 mm | Not stated | A$8.25 | 10.9 sheets, about A$90 |
| Carrara Square | Ceramic | Matt | 306 × 306 mm | Not stated | A$8.45 | 10.7 sheets, about A$90 |
| Carrara Herringbone | Ceramic | Matt | 316 × 277 mm | 21.5 × 71.5 mm | A$7.95 | 11.4 sheets, about A$91 |
| Studio White Herringbone | Ceramic | Gloss | 316 × 277 mm | 21.5 × 71.5 mm | A$7.95 | 11.4 sheets, about A$91 |
| Carrara White Strip | Porcelain | Gloss | 296 × 299 mm | 20 × 145 mm | A$11.95 | 11.3 sheets, about A$135 |
| Studio Graphite Strip | Porcelain | Gloss | 296 × 299 mm | 20 × 145 mm | A$11.95 | 11.3 sheets, about A$135 |
| Carrara Round | Natural marble | Honed | 285 × 305 mm | 20 mm | A$25.95 | 11.5 sheets, about A$299 |
| Carrara Stack | Natural marble | Polished | 305 × 305 mm | 36 × 150 mm | A$27.95 | 10.7 sheets, about A$300 |
| Carrara Large Hexagon | Natural marble | Polished | 250 × 290 mm | 70 mm hexagon | A$21.95 | 13.8 sheets, about A$303 |
| Carrara Petite Herringbone | Natural marble | Polished | 270 × 262 mm | 30 × 60 mm | A$21.50 | 14.1 sheets, about A$304 |
| Carrara Fan | Natural marble | Honed | 225 × 230 mm | 75 mm | A$15.95 | 19.3 sheets, about A$308 |
| Studio White Finger | Porcelain | Gloss | Not stated | 12.8 × 95 mm | A$11.95 | Not stated |
Studio White Finger is the one page that does not state a sheet size, so its sheets per m² cannot be worked out from the page; ask before you order it by area. Carrara Herringbone, Carrara Hexagon and Carrara Square are ceramic with a Carrara-inspired face; the five marble mosaics are natural marble.
3. A kitchen splashback, counted
Take a splashback 3 m long and 600 mm high: 1.8 m². Dividing by each sheet's stated area and rounding up gives the sheet counts below, before any allowance for cuts, which your tiler will set. Windows, power points and the rangehood all change the net area; how to measure a tiling project shows how to work it out.
| Mosaic | Sheets for 1.8 m² | Cost of those sheets |
|---|---|---|
| Studio White Herringbone | 21 | A$166.95 |
| Carrara Hexagon | 20 | A$165.00 |
| Studio Graphite Strip | 21 | A$250.95 |
| Carrara Large Hexagon | 25 | A$548.75 |
| Carrara Stack | 20 | A$559.00 |

4. A bathroom feature wall, counted
Take a feature panel behind a vanity, 1.2 m wide and 1 m high: 1.2 m². The same sum gives:
| Mosaic | Sheets for 1.2 m² | Cost of those sheets |
|---|---|---|
| Studio White Herringbone | 14 | A$111.30 |
| Carrara White Strip | 14 | A$167.30 |
| Carrara Square | 13 | A$109.85 |
| Carrara Fan | 24 | A$382.80 |
| Carrara Petite Herringbone | 17 | A$365.50 |
Small pieces mean a lot of grout joint, so the grout colour changes a mosaic wall more than it changes a wall of large tiles. Choosing grout colour from a dried sample joint covers how to test it. For herringbone in particular, herringbone tiles: three sheets or lay it yourself compares the three herringbone sheets here.
5. Samples and delivery
Each mosaic has a sample piece at A$3, up to five to a tray, with free sample delivery anywhere in Australia; order them on the samples page. The sample cost comes off a full-tile order of the same tile placed within six months. On the delivery page, mosaic sheets are not counted in the weight that sets the delivery rate.

Where these facts come from
Materials, finishes, sheet and piece sizes, prices and the collection listings are from the twelve product pages linked above, and the sample and delivery terms from the samples page and the delivery page, all read on 3 November 2026. Sheet counts and per-m² figures are worked out from those numbers. Prices can change; the product page shows the current price.
