We're not playing favorites, but we have to admit that Zellige tile is a true darling of our collections at Riad Tile. As such, it's one of our best-selling tiles of all time — and for good reason.
Zellige tiles are such a gem — and they are versatile enough to bring their storied allure to nearly any type of space, including floors and walls, water features, and interior and exterior environments.
Born of Moroccan tradition, Zellige tiles are handcrafted with non-refined natural clay from the Fez region — and each tile is unique, with color variations, slight size differences, crazing, and more. These "imperfections" are ultimately what make Zellige tile so perfectly distinct.
To celebrate Zellige tile, check out these 10 recent projects that show off its enchanting qualities.
Coastal Attraction
The sand meets the sea in this exquisite primary bath shower that features the subtle stripes of Belize Blue 4"x4" Zellige tile between rows of Natural White 4"x4" Zellige tile. A design collaboration between @ninaex, @californiacoastal_co, and @kristinmswanson, this look delivers both warm sophistication and cool, coastal flair.
White Out
If you think white-on-white is boring or lackluster, this Zellige tile backsplash may promptly shift your perspective. For this kitchen, envisioned by @janaroach, our Snow White 4"x4" Zellige tile is dry-stacked — with no grout — and it makes such a statement with its rustic yet elegant mood.
Sparkling Refresh
Suitably dubbed the La Croix house, this kitchen immediately references the sparkling water brand — and its distinct, candy-colored packaging. Designer @martinrickles.studio put our Blush 4"x4" Zellige tile to work as a star player in partnership with the other pastel hues. And, shout-out to our Crest Black & White Ceramic tile on the floor — another unexpected (yet delightful) twist on this eclectic space.
Emerald City
Going green never looked so glam as in this dreamy bathroom from @theramblingredhead. In this swoon-worthy space, Emerald Green 2"x6" Thin Bejmat Zellige tiles command attention when laid vertically across the entire shower wall. Whether this bath channels Oz's Emerald City for you — or an enchanted forest — it's something we definitely want to come home to.
Timeless Charm
You absolutely cannot beat a classic combination of soft black and white, as seen in this subtle yet impactful kitchen designed by @bothmindsdesign. It's simultaneously timeless and on-trend with the subdued shimmer of Natural White 4"x4" Zellige tile paired with dark matte cabinets.
Check Marks the Spot
Soft whites and warm neutrals come together in this graceful interpretation of the checkerboard mosaic, designed by @hearthhomesinteriors for a beach house's bathroom. Combining the Snow White 4"x4" Zellige tile with the Glazed Clay 4"x4" Zellige tile is a demure and mindful way to integrate a Riad's Zellige tile mosaic for just the right amount of understated elegance.
Honeyed Decadence
This custom cocktail bar is both sweet and decadent with its Zellige tile wall. The Honey 2"x6" Thin Bejmat Zellige tile radiates handsome warmth in this design by @thebeverlycasa.
Raising the Bar
The cooling tones of our Steel Grey 4"x4" Zellige tile set a whole different kind of moody-luxe vibe for this custom home bar from @bothmindsdesign. Amidst the dark cabinets, the Zellige tile backsplash adds a reflective, vibrant quality.
Monochromatic Delight
While you may think of monochrome as black or white, this pantry in sea green — from the minds of @mgrayarchitecture and @gildedheights — is an absolute delight. There's something so special about the variation in tones of the Sea Green 2"x6" Thin Bejmat Zellige tile and the way its color reflects and morphs to its matching surroundings — even picking up the gold tones of the hardware. It's a perfect way to bring in a Zellige tile backsplash.
Pool Power
The very picture of a backyard oasis, this sunny retreat makes every day feel like a vacation. For the pool, @haus_of_meeshie and @studiojohnsharp used the Emerald Green 4" x 4" Zellige tile, pairing it with the power of black and white for a classic yet striking combination — especially in partnership with the blue water.
