On a Budget? Meet Brio Custom Blends!!!
Brio® Custom Blends Fit Every Budget!
Customizing your kitchen or bathroom gets extremely pricey! Especially if you’re working within a specific color scheme.
Meet our Brio® Custom Blend Program! With literally millions of possible glass mosaic color combinations right at your fingertips, you can easily create the right tile blend for your project…Plus, it’s totally budget-friendly and fun to do!!!
How-to Create Your Custom Blend Recipe:
Step 1) Access the blender at: http://www.modwallsblender.com/
Step 2) Select the colors that you’d like to blend by clicking on the Brio® ¾” glass tile images.
The colors will automatically move into the blender after 2 colors have been selected. Remove any color by dragging it away from the blending area.
If you wish to start over, just click RESET.
Step 3) Feel free to adjust the color percentage by moving the arrows up and down on each color. (Note: your design must add up to 100%)
Step 4) Think you reached your desired colored combination? Click on REMIX to randomly remix the colors. (Note that all of our custom blends are random, not patterned)
Step 5) Optional, but highly recommended: Select grout colors to see how this changes the effect of your blend. The grout colors shown are part of modwalls® StarGlass/ Dimension Urethane Grout collection. Grout is sold separately, but we believe this is the best choice available for any glass tile installation.
Step 6) Order Your Custom Blend Sample here. Be sure to enter your blend recipe on the Customer Comments area – including color names and percentages. Note: you will be prompted to enter your recipe on page 2 of checkout.

Why should I order a sample?
We strongly encourage creative customers like yourself to order samples of your custom blend – which eliminates any online purchasing woes. Each computer monitor may slightly distort the true colors and it’s always good to have a sample in-hand. Btw, samples are about 5″ x 5″ and are not refundable.
Once you have received your sample and are ready to order your Brio® custom blend, simply call us toll-free @ 877-439-9734. We have real people ready to take your order Monday-Friday from 9am – 5pm Pacific Time. Please note that there is a 20 sq.ft. minimum order per custom blend.
How is my custom blend assembled?
Since 2005, we proudly and locally outsource our modwalls® custom blend production to the wonderful people at HOPE Services. HOPE Services is a non-profit organization which employs developmentally and physically disabled adults to do a variety of production work. Their mission is to assist individuals with disabilities to live and participate in their communities – and we LOVE this.
HOPE’s clients are responsible for making each sheet of your custom blend – a true work of art – made with pride and love! There are currently over 30 HOPE clients dedicated to the modwalls® custom blend production.
Here are some photos of HOPE’s client’s in action:
HOPE Services receives our customer’s custom blend recipes on a weekly basis. Each individual Brio® Mosaic Color comes with a paper facing that HOPE soaks off prior to mounting and assembling each blend. Tiles are then set individually onto plastic grids in a random pattern according to your recipe. Each completed grid (or 1.15 sq.ft. sheet) is then reviewed for quality control. Once approved, a plastic film is placed over the top or “face” of the tiles to hold it in place for installation.
This entire process generally takes about 1 week to complete. Once your blend is complete, we’ll ship it via UPS and email you the tracking number.
Real Customer Satisfaction!
Here’s a recent client review we received about their custom blend experience:

Splish Splash: It’s Time for a Dip in the Pool
It’s getting warmer here at modwalls HQ. And a warm Monday after a festivity filled Cinco de Mayo weekend makes us daydream of swimming in a crystal clear pool right about now.
We’re going back to our archives for this “poolside post”. Enjoy!
How good does this pool with one of our Brio® Custom Tile blends look?!
Unbelievably good, especially on this day.

Heads Up. Its modwalls® real penny tile.
You might have already guessed it; at modwalls® we looove the retro-meets-modern and always fun feel of a penny round. We stock ModDotz™ porcelain penny rounds in basic shades and modwalls®-only colors & blends and our CorkDotz™ Mosaic Penny Tile is a sweet eco-friendly option with a modern, polished finish.

So naturally we were jazzed when we were asked to create a completely custom penny tile made out of, you guessed it, real pennies for Cannery Row Brewing Company on famous Cannery Row in Monterey, CA.
A single sheet of modwalls custom penny tile before installation and the finished product installed in Cannery Row Brewing Company's entry way.
And even cool blogger types who go to dine on munchies and beer can’t help but notice where they’re stepping. The Happy Hour Honeys snapped this photo of their little piggies in the swank entry way.
Check them out next time you are in the area and please contact modwalls® any time to discuss your own custom tile project.
