The Enduring Appeal of Zellige
*a guide to one of our favorite tiles
If you've spent any time dreaming about kitchens, bathrooms, or that elusive perfect mudroom, chances are you’ve come across zellige tile—shiny, uneven, rich in color and character. It’s the kind of tile that immediately stands out for what it isn’t: flat, uniform, or mass-produced. Instead, zellige feels alive—each piece a little different from the next, catching the light in unexpected ways, humming with history.
