Zellige is a type of tiling that can be traced back to 10th-century Morocco, where tiles were handcrafted from a blend of local clay that was then glazed and fired.
Handcrafted zellige tiles in shades of white and gray complement the cabinets’ hue while also adding texture. The small-scale motif gives a nod to the larger-scale checks on the marble floors.
