From Ocean to Interior: The Story Behind Our Mother of Pearl Mosaics
Mother of pearl has been valued for centuries, not because it shouts for attention, but because it transforms light in a way few materials can. Its surface shifts subtly with movement and time of day, creating depth and quiet elegance rather than decoration for decoration’s sake.
At MegaTiles, we are proud to be the UK’s largest stockist of mother of pearl mosaics, offering both ready-to-dispatch collections and bespoke designs made to specification for residential and commercial projects.
Responsibly sourced, ethically produced
Every mother of pearl mosaic we supply is sourced responsibly and produced in line with modern slavery and ethical trading policies. This is not a marketing claim, but a non-negotiable standard.
Our approach includes:
Full traceability of raw materials
Ethical partnerships with trusted suppliers
Clear oversight of production practices
Choosing mother of pearl from MegaTiles means choosing a material that respects both craftsmanship and responsibility.
From natural formation to refined finish
Mother of pearl is formed naturally inside the shells of certain molluscs. Over time, layers build to create the iridescent surface that gives the material its distinctive depth.
Skilled artisans then cut and shape the shells into mosaic pieces, preserving their natural lustre while ensuring they meet the practical demands of modern interiors. The result is a surface that feels refined, durable and timeless.
In-stock collections and bespoke design
We offer flexibility depending on the needs of your project.
In-stock ranges are available for immediate dispatch across the UK, ideal for projects with defined timelines.
Bespoke designs allow for custom sizing, patterns and layouts, with delivery typically within two to three weeks direct to site.
This balance allows designers and contractors to work creatively without compromising on programme.
Beyond wall applications
While mother of pearl is most commonly used for wall features and splashbacks, its applications extend far beyond standard tiling.
We regularly supply mother of pearl for:
Vanity surrounds and bathroom accessories
Furniture inlays such as tables and cabinetry
Decorative panels and bespoke joinery details
Feature installations and artistic elements
Used selectively, it introduces texture and light without overwhelming a space.

We work closely with architects, interior designers and contractors who need reliability as much as creativity.

Clear guidance on specification and installation
Realistic lead times and transparent communication
