Need a Kitchen Backsplash Update? Let Zellige Do the Job
If you thought your backsplash was destined to blend in for the rest of your kitchen’s days, think again. Your kitchen backsplash is the perfect vehicle for style, glamor, and classic elegance.
With Riad’s outstanding tile choices, it’s never been easier to create a kitchen your friends can’t stop talking about. Journey through these three kitchen makeovers — all of which pull from Riad’s incredible inventory of Zellige tiles — to gather tile ideas for that backsplash vision board we know you’re building.
Make a Monochromatic Masterpiece
We can’t stop gushing over this bewitching all-black buffet in @craven_haven’s incredible kitchen.

Riad’s ever-stunning Zellige stands out even in its least colorful shade, helping take this kitchen nook from dated to dazzling.
The natural imperfections of the 4”x4” black Zellige — handcrafted by Moroccan artisans — lend an organic, earthy feel to this space, making the backsplash a perfect companion for the raw look of the granite countertop.
As an added bonus, Zellige isn’t just the best tile for keeping your home on trend; it’s durable in nearly every space, making it the perfect choice for this backsplash and your kitchen.
Go Green Galore
Zellige remains an all-star pick in this captivating pantry from @mgrayarchitecture and designer @gildedheights, who blended beauty and function to take this walk-in to the next level.

When designers went bold on color for this space, Riad had the tile to match. Sea Green 2”x6” Zellige blends flawlessly with the striking paint shade in the pantry, almost as if the two design elements were made for one another.
Even when it’s colorful, Zellige still manages to bring a space back down to earth. The variations in the handcrafted tile give the Sea Green extra depth and varying tones, some of which manage to complement the room’s gold hardware perfectly.
If you’re looking for your own show-stopping shade, Sea Green is far from your only option. Explore Zellige in fiery Coral, jewel-toned Emerald, or eye-popping Goldfinch to add a bit of drama to your own backsplash.
Add Earth-Toned Elegance
Your kitchen color palette doesn’t have to be loud to be luxurious. In fact, white Zellige is one of Riad’s most popular tile picks for a reason.
This kitchen from @interior.james highlights the best of our 4”x4” Natural White Zellige. Here, it’s clean but rustic, organic but elegant enough to pair with a classic marble countertop and checkerboard floors.
If you’re worried that White Zellige is too trendy for your kitchen or will need an update once its moment passes, be assured: This look stands the test of time.
Though Zellige is relatively new to popularity in the states, these tiles are the result of an ancient Moroccan technique that’s still practiced today. By incorporating Zellige, you’re choosing a timeless statement piece that’s used everywhere, from designer brand showcases to historic architectural marvels.
