What makes zellige different

Traditional zellige is hand-cut, glazed terracotta from Morocco. No two tiles are the same, and the slightly uneven surface catches the light. Zellige-look tiles recreate that effect in a ceramic tile that is more consistent in size and easier to install.

Where to use them

Kitchen splashbacks in a stack bond or brick bond.
Shower and feature walls where the gloss and variation stand out.
Vanity walls and niches for a handmade touch in a small area.

Tips for laying

Mix tiles from several boxes as you go so the variation spreads evenly across the wall. A grout that matches the tile keeps the look soft and seamless.
