Pool Tile Project Gallery
Explore our Pool Tile Project Gallery and discover how different swimming pool tiles look in real completed pools across Australia. Featuring glass pool tiles, mosaic pool tiles, waterline tiles and luxury pool designs, this gallery is designed to help homeowners, builders and designers visualise the finished result before making a selection.
Choosing the right pool tile can dramatically influence the colour, depth and overall appearance of your pool. The projects featured in this gallery showcase a range of tile styles, colours and finishes installed in real swimming pools, providing valuable inspiration for your own project.
When selecting pool tiles, it’s important to remember that individual tile samples often look very different once installed across an entire pool and viewed underwater. Factors such as water depth, sunlight, surrounding landscaping and tile reflectivity all contribute to the final appearance. In many cases, pool tiles will appear richer and slightly darker once submerged.
Our gallery includes examples of contemporary pool designs, resort-style pools, glass mosaic pool tiles, waterline tile installations and premium residential projects. By viewing completed installations, you can better understand how different tile colours create various water effects, from crystal-clear tropical blues to deep resort-inspired tones.
Whether you’re building a new swimming pool or renovating an existing one, this gallery provides inspiration and practical guidance to help you select the perfect swimming pool tiles for your project.

Custom Blend Glass Pool Tiles for The Langham Melbourne
Trusted to Deliver a Bespoke Luxury Pool Finish
When one of Melbourne’s most prestigious five-star hotels required a unique swimming pool finish, Direct Pool Tiles was trusted to supply a custom-blended glass mosaic solution designed specifically for the project.
The indoor pool at The Langham Melbourne demanded more than a standard off-the-shelf pool tile. The design brief called for a luxurious blend of colours capable of creating depth, movement and visual interest while complementing the sophisticated architecture of the hotel.
The result was a custom glass mosaic blend that continues to create a stunning visual effect for guests enjoying one of Melbourne’s most iconic luxury hotels.
A Custom Blend Designed for Luxury
Unlike standard pool tile collections, this project utilised a carefully selected blend of multiple glass mosaic colours to create a unique water effect.
The combination of deep blues, aquas, turquoise tones and reflective highlights was specifically chosen to enhance the appearance of the water and create a rich, vibrant finish under varying lighting conditions.
As natural light enters through the impressive glass atrium above, the custom blend creates subtle colour changes and reflections throughout the day, giving the pool a constantly evolving appearance.
Why Custom-Blended Pool Tiles?
Custom blend pool tiles allow designers, architects and hotel operators to achieve a completely unique result.
Benefits include:
- Custom water colour effects
- Greater depth and visual texture
- Enhanced light reflection
- Unique designer appearance
- Luxury resort-style aesthetics
- Exclusivity not available with standard tile ranges
By combining multiple shades within a single mosaic blend, the finished pool achieves a more natural and dynamic appearance compared to single-colour installations.
Premium Glass Mosaic Technology
The Langham Melbourne project utilised premium glass mosaics selected for their durability, colour consistency and ability to perform in a commercial aquatic environment.
Glass mosaics remain one of the preferred finishes for luxury hotels due to their:
- Exceptional colour depth
- Long-term durability
- Low water absorption
- Ease of maintenance
- Superior reflective qualities
These characteristics make glass mosaics ideal for both commercial and high-end residential swimming pools.
Bringing Resort Luxury to Residential Pools
While this custom blend was supplied for a five-star hotel environment, similar custom mosaic blends can also be created for residential projects.
Homeowners seeking a luxury resort-style swimming pool can work with our team to create bespoke colour combinations that achieve a unique water colour and visual effect tailored to their property.
Whether inspired by tropical resorts, Mediterranean retreats or contemporary architectural pools, custom blends provide virtually unlimited design possibilities.

Chadstone Hotel Melbourne – Custom Glass Mosaic Feature Wall
About This Project
This stunning custom glass mosaic feature wall was created for a luxury five-star hotel at Chadstone, Melbourne. The artwork demonstrates how a simple photograph can be transformed into a timeless architectural feature using thousands of individually placed glass mosaic tiles.
Traditionally, bespoke mosaics of this scale were manufactured in Europe. Recognising a gap in the Australian market, Caprici developed its own custom mosaic production system more than eight years ago, allowing designers, architects and developers to create highly personalised feature walls using premium glass mosaics with significantly shorter lead times.
This particular artwork consists of 77 mosaic sheets measuring 318mm x 318mm, with each sheet containing 841 individual glass mosaic tiles. In total, the completed installation comprises an extraordinary 64,757 individual glass tiles across 11 carefully selected colours.
The design process begins with specialised software that scans and converts a photograph into a detailed mosaic map. This digital template establishes the outlines, shading and colour distribution throughout the artwork. A colour designer then selects the most suitable glass mosaic colours and creates a simulation of the finished piece before production begins.
Once approved, every tile position is mapped and coded. Skilled artisans then place each individual glass tile by hand using a production template, ensuring accuracy throughout the artwork. Each completed sheet is numbered and supplied with a detailed installation plan, allowing the final image to be assembled on-site with precision.
The result is a sophisticated mosaic artwork that combines modern technology with traditional craftsmanship, creating a feature wall that becomes a focal point of the space while maintaining the luxury aesthetic expected within a world-class hotel environment.
In addition to portrait-style artworks, we have produced numerous bespoke floral designs, abstract feature walls and custom commercial installations for hotels, luxury residences and major architectural projects throughout Australia.
Project Highlights
✔ Luxury five-star hotel installation – Chadstone, Melbourne
✔ Custom artwork created from an original photograph
✔ 64,757 individually placed glass mosaic tiles
✔ 77 mosaic sheets measuring 318mm x 318mm
✔ 11 custom-selected glass mosaic colours
✔ Australian-made bespoke mosaic production
✔ Hand-assembled by skilled artisans
✔ Complete installation mapping system provided
✔ Suitable for hotels, luxury residences and commercial projects
This project highlights the versatility of custom glass mosaics and demonstrates how photographs, artwork and bespoke concepts can be transformed into permanent architectural features that deliver exceptional visual impact.

Designed by renowned landscape architect Jack Merlo, the project demonstrates how white glass mosaics can transform a pool into a striking architectural feature while maintaining a soft and inviting appearance.
One of the unique characteristics of Crystal White glass pool tiles is their ability to reflect the surrounding environment.
