Zellige Tiles

Trendy or Timeless?

Beautiful Moroccan Zellige tiles are definitely trending. Here are some fun facts that you might not know about them :

Since Zellige Tiles are hand made and not made in a factory they are not fully smooth , which makes them harder to clean and wipe spills off of them.

No two Zellige Tiles are the same , because of the way they are made each tile has different brush strokes creating a different finish each time. In other words if it doesn't have imperfections then it isn't Zellige.

One of our most popular Zellige Tiles is our Salerno range , it is a gorgeous 240x60  tile that looks amazing in a kitchen splashback or a shower wall , the magic of Zellige Tiles is that no other person will have the same design as you so it will be completely personalised.

We recently have made an Pinterest post showcasing some of our Salerno range.

These days zellige tiles are largely used in homes in square or rectangular shapes. Their natural look has become a welcome trend for interiors that embrace an organic finish! As interior designers and homeowners started to turn to prize personality and distinct details to set houses apart, these tiles have started to come to the forefront of decorator’s must-have lists!

The sensitive nature of Zellige tiles means that these are not the types of tile you want to DIY - unless you’re a contractor. Uneven edges mean grouting these tiles can be difficult, however, if you hate cleaning grout, these are the tiles for you. Zellige tiles looks best without grout so let your preferred contractor do the hard work while you sit back and enjoy your new tile feature.
