The zellige look, made practical
Authentic Moroccan zellige is hand-cut clay glazed in small batches, and its beauty comes from imperfection: rippled faces, uneven edges and colour that pools and shifts tile to tile. Our zellige look tiles recreate that character in porcelain and ceramic, so you keep the shimmer and movement while gaining the things clay zellige cannot offer: consistent sizing, no sealing, and glazes that shrug off water and cooking splashes.
That trade matters in real rooms. Clay zellige can be a challenge in wet areas and needs an experienced tiler to lay well; a zellige look glaze installs like any other tile, which keeps labour predictable and makes the style workable in showers, laundries and rental-friendly renovations.
Formats: square, subway and brick
The classic zellige format is the small square. Our 100x100 and 147x147 squares, led by the Agadir range, stack into the traditional grid where every tile catches light a little differently. Handmade look subway and mini-brick formats carry the same glaze character in a more familiar layout, and glazed bricks suit feature walls that want warmth with rhythm.
Colour is the other half of the look: sea greens, aqua blues, warm cottos and soft whites are the classic Moroccan palette. Lay them with a tight joint and tonal grout so the glaze does the talking. Order a sample first, these glazes shift with the light more than any flat tile, which is exactly the point. Every tile is price matched and delivered Australia wide.
Frequently asked questions
What are zellige tiles?+
Zellige is a centuries-old Moroccan tradition of hand-cut, hand-glazed clay tiles, usually small squares, prized for their rippled surfaces and shimmering, variable glaze. The look is having a major moment in Australian kitchens and bathrooms.
Are these authentic zellige tiles?+
No, and that is deliberate. These are porcelain and ceramic tiles made to capture the zellige glaze character with modern performance: consistent sizing, no sealing, and durable surfaces that suit wet areas and splashbacks without special care.
Where does the zellige look work best?+
Kitchen splashbacks and bathroom walls are the natural homes, where light plays across the glaze. Shower niches, laundry walls and powder rooms are popular smaller doses. The handmade character suits both classic and contemporary rooms.
What grout should I use with zellige look tiles?+
A tight joint with grout close to the tile colour keeps the wall reading as one shimmering surface, which is the traditional zellige effect. Contrasting grout works with brick and subway formats when you want the layout to show.
Can I order a sample?+
Yes. You can order a sample of any zellige look tile before buying, and with these glazes it is genuinely worth it: the surface character and colour depth are exactly what photos flatten. Samples are shipped Australia wide.
