Leftovers can get a bad rap, but when it comes to that stack of unused, surplus tiles from a recent project, don't even think about relegating it to your garage, where it will never see the light of day again. Instead, it's time to think outside the tile box and put those extras to work with a smaller-scale DIY tile project. Even if you have yet to tackle any big tiling jobs and don't have leftovers laying around, these beautiful projects will have you ordering some tile samples or swinging by the store in no time flat.
Side Table with Unglazed Zellige Tile
This simple but elegant side table by the talented @emilytartaglia makes us want to put those extra pieces to use—stat! Our Unglazed Natural Terracotta 4x4 Zellige tile adds the perfect amount of textural contrast—and contributes a warm earthiness to any space. We can totally see this table cozying up to a sofa or serving as a nightstand next to the bed. It would even be a beautiful addition to an outdoor patio.View this post on Instagram
Pedestal Stands with Glazed Zellige Tile
These modular pedestal stands, designed for @wildflores.co by the gifted minds of @spacesbyhollievelten and @virdenhome, show off the power of playing with height and shape. They're so lovely that they really stand alone—no pun intended—but we could definitely see them serving as the base for floral arrangements, plants, sculptures and more. These pedestals were created from our glazed 4x4 Zellige tiles, so they have a slightly more luminous effect. You can notice the beautiful, organic color variations in this Moroccan tile. We'll take 10 in each size.View this post on Instagram
