Durability, with Style
Let’s be honest: shower tile must be water-resistant and durable. Whether you take on the project as a DIY adventure or hire professionals, you want your carefully chosen shower tile to stand the test of time. But do you have to give up beauty and style in the process? We love shouting the answer from the rooftops: NO! Zellige tile is the perfect answer for a remarkably durable, stunning look. There’s a reason artisans have passed down this Moroccan tile tradition for centuries.View this post on Instagram
This eye-catching shower design from @arielle and @janaroach uses our Sea Green 2”x6” Zellige tiles to demonstrate a perfect marriage between form and function. The hand-crafted tiles add natural color variation and rough edges that give the space a cozy depth, ideal for taking a relaxing shower at the end of the day; the shiny glazed layer on top means that they’re easy to clean and will stand up to years of in-home spa treatments.
Create Your Aesthetic
Some shower tile designs are all about minimalism. Some designs focus on carrying a theme throughout the room. Still others aim to add a pop of color or pattern to the space. One of our favorite things about using Zellige tile in the shower is its ability to match these design choices. The handmade, organic quality of the tiles means that your walk-in shower can feel minimal and natural.
On the other hand, using a brightly-colored Zellige tile will add a surprising focal point to the room. Are you looking for a pattern? Try combining Zellige tiles in different colors to create your own.

Designers at @cm.interiors pulled off a stunning combination of our Natural White and Glazed Clay 2”x6” Zellige in this shower. The right balance of colors in this successful pattern means it can carry onto the ceiling without overpowering the room. Because the Zellige tile has rough, imprecise edges, the individual tiles flow together naturally instead of appearing haphazard.
Zellige Tile’s Versatility Shines
Shower designs are usually standard—tiles on the floor, walls, and ceiling. What if you’re thinking outside the box, though? Zellige tile is beautiful because it can work with almost any shower configuration you’ve imagined in any color scheme. You can find hand-crafted pieces that match any project, from the small 2” x 2” varieties to intriguing hexagonal tiles.View this post on Instagram
For this lake house shower installation, @stephanielutzinteriors needed to use traditional tiles in an untraditional space. And who said beautiful showers are just for people? This mudroom station can serve every family member, canine or human, to wash off the dirt from a day spent enjoying the outdoors. Rather than making the space merely practical, the Steel Grey 4”x4” Zellige tile adds drama and luxury. The deep color is eye-catching and serves a functional purpose; hiding all that lake shore dirt is a job we wouldn’t want in a bright-white shower.
Shower updates are some of our favorite renovations, and we can’t imagine completing a project without using our favorite Zellige tile.
