Zellige is a handcrafted clay tile that comes from Morocco. Zellige tiles are known for their variations in hue, gloss, flatness and depth of glaze, their surface texture with irregularities, and their variability in shape and size. Because they are hand formed, hand cut and hand glazed, no two Zellige tiles are exactly the same. Zellige tiles are all about texture and a completely unique look as each tile is handmade, imperfect and different, and that goes for your bathroom too. You don’t have to cover the entire room with this sophisticated tile, maybe just an accent wall, but before you decide to do it, you need to know all the pros and cons.
What are the advantages of Zellige tiles?
The main advantage of Zellige tiles is a super trendy look that you can achieve with it. Your bathroom will be the most beautiful. Even using just one piece of this tile somewhere near your sink or in the shower will completely transform your bathroom.
Zellige tiles are unique, there are no two tiles that look alike, instantly enhancing the style of your space and adding character.
Zellige tiles are available in a wide range of colors and can be glazed or unglazed, so you are not limited to a particular shade or texture. Glazed Zellige tiles are the best idea for a wet area like a bathroom.
Experts recommend laying zellige tiles as close together as possible – without joints and without tile spacers. The final look looks grout-free: a plus for those driven crazy by dirty grout lines, but a con for those who like the look.

What are the disadvantages of Zellige tiles?
Another side effect of the handcrafted Zellige pendant: it is impossible to get a batch of Zellige tiles in the exact same shade. If you decide to use zellige tiles in your project, be aware that your wall will be ombre or pointillist rather than a solid color.
Laying Zellige tiles is difficult and requires special care. For best results, consult an expert who knows the tile—someone who pays close attention to detail.
When attached to a wall, the tiles appear flowing or wavy rather than flat; This can make the tiles more difficult to wipe down, and damp areas can cause more germs to form in these areas.
If you use Zellige tiles on the floor (this is only allowed in low traffic areas), walking on that floor (especially with shoes) may cause damage or scratches to the tiles. On the other hand, it will not be completely smooth and walking without shoes could be uncomfortable.
But all these disadvantages don’t matter when you see the beautiful structure of these tiles, they will surely add a unique touch to your room. Take a look at the following ideas and I am sure they will convince you to buy Zellige tiles.
