Handmade-look tiles: adding a touch of character to your home decor
Handmade-look tiles add a unique charm and character to your favourite spaces. They add warmth, texture, and interest to any room, and can be used in a variety of settings, from rustic farmhouses to modern apartments.
One of the great things about handmade-look tiles is that they give a timeless quality to many decor styles. One of the most common types of handmade tiles is ceramic tiles. These tiles can be glazed or left unglazed, and come in a range of colours and finishes. They are often used for floors, backsplashes, and fireplace surrounds.

One of our favourite trends for handmade-look tiles are Zellige tiles! Zellige tiles, also known as Moroccan tiles, are a type of hand-crafted ceramic tile that originated in Morocco. They are known for their unique, irregular shapes and vibrant colours, and have become increasingly popular in recent years as a decorative element in both traditional and modern home design.
Unlike traditional ceramic tiles, which are often cut into perfect squares or rectangles, Zellige tiles are hand-formed, resulting in a variety of shapes and sizes. This gives them a rustic, organic feel that is both visually striking and highly distinctive.
In terms of design, Zellige tiles can be used in a variety of ways, from creating bold, graphic patterns on floors and walls to adding subtle pops of colour and texture to neutral spaces. They can be used in both traditional and modern interiors and can be combined with other decorative elements such as textiles, wood, and metal to create a cohesive, layered look.
