Ideas for mosaic on wood-fire pizza oven
Hi I've recently finished building my pizza oven and I'm really stumped for colours and patterns for a tiled finish on the outside. I think a mosaic would look nice but I have no idea what colour/s will look good with the charcoal base.
A friend suggested I re-render the oven with an oxide heavy mix and keep it looking natural but I'm partial to tiling it.
Any and all ideas would really be appreciated.

8 years agoHey James, have a look at this project - it's colour changing tiles are a cool idea:
Colours and pattern would depend on what the rest of your backyard is like. I personally like the render but would make it darker if anything. Let us know what you do!PJ Furniture thanked Gioenne RapisardaRelated Discussions
Need Help creating a new kitchen, ideas?
Comments (38)Samantha B I just completed my kitchen Reno in Perth. My pantry was also bricked up like yours. Literally doubled the space by getting rid of it but we found out after that the pantry was structural & we had to put an extra support beam in the roof instead ($800) so be careful of that! We completely moved the plumbing, gas & electrics & it only cost a few hundred! So don't be afraid to do that as long as u know decent priced tradies! We ended up doing nearly everything ourselves & went with a masters flat packed kitchen & sourced our own stone benchtops dirt cheap ($2500 installed for a 2m bench & a 1.5m island each with one waterfall edge.). Heres before & after pics....See MoreFire Pit Design Help???
Comments (14)A couple thoughts. a) This appears to have been placed at the center of the back of the yard, for something that is not a central activity. Consider moving it to a less dominant location, and perhaps filter the view of it from the house with some small trees or multistem shrubs like crape myrtle or lilac, that will also provide a pleasant fragrance. b) This design is like a council fire of the boy scouts, perhaps for telling ghost stories or instructions for the days to follow. You want cozy, cuddle by the fire, arm around your neighbor environment. A place for a quiet conversation, like with corner seating. Or with loud, slap on the back joking around, therefore closeness. A useful space, with or without the fire. Great place to sit with the dog and read that mystery you have been putting off. I think the gravel floor might be the most suitable to all activities, even for the kids parking their bikes there while they toss a ball around. You might want to place a horse shoe court next to it, so they could use the same benches from the other side to watch the contest or the fire - might need a refrigerator handy for the beer. Analyse first, then plan. Enjoy!...See MoreWould you rather a wood-fired pizza oven or BBQ?
Comments (2)BBQ is more convenient and versatile so I'd pick that if I could only choose one. Love my Weber. Pizza oven will be built soon as well though...See MoreHelp! Need ideas for a country kitchen
Comments (18)You can buy the caboodle bamboo kitchen bench top from Bunnings wood section and cut it to any size you want. If you just wax it, it is quite rustic and would save you the cost of getting a benchtop made. It comes in two thicknesses and is 600mm deep. The piece that I bought was 2.4m long. Have a look at it, at least. Then if you have some other rustic pieces or even units with steel tops, it can tie the rest together. My vote is to keep the stove and get some rustic or industrial cup'd handles. A real farmhouse kitchen is a mix and match thing. My vote is for trying to keep the bench you bought as an island if you can. I would go for open shelves along the wall where the stove and fridge are and put the microwave on one of them. Maybe you could find some different tiles for behind the sink. I would rip those shiny ones off the wall and choose something that will fit in with your mix'n match rustic style, or just something quirky - even old wood. It all depends on how much money you want to spend and kitchens add up very quickly. If it functional and pleases your eye, then you are a winner. If the carcasses are still usable, it is much cheaper to just get new doors for them, when you can afford it. I wouldn't bother with window covering in the kitchen. I would just leave it for the light. Maybe a glass shelf across it with some herbs on it. It already sounds good to me....See More- PRO

8 years agoBoth great ideas, I have a lot of natural stone and brick in backyard. I'm torn now between having the oven suit the space or stand out as a real feature.
A heavier oxide mix would make the render richer in colour which would look great and suit the yard well.
I found the oven bellow and love the modern red and black mix, not sure if it will be too modern in an older more traditional space.

8 years agoI love Mosaic! Almost any colour goes with charcoal... A solid colour would be nice like red as mentioned earlier or a classic blue, example pictured. A nice simple pattern would "pop", also pictured.
For more inspiration google Portuguese or Moroccan mosaic, they are the masters!!
