Zellige Style Tiles

Out Zellige-style tile collection is inspired by traditional handcrafted Moroccan terracotta tiles, globally renowned for their distinctive, vibrant colors and glossy glazed surfaces. These porcelain and ceramic tiles capture the rich color movement and artisanal texture that make zellige one of today’s most popular interior design trends, but with improved durability, easier installation, lower maintenance, and a more accessible price point.

What Is Zellige Tile?

Traditional zellige originated in Morocco as a hand-molded, kiln-fired clay tile with a glossy enamel glaze, and each tile is fairly unique, with a "perfectly imperfect" aesthetic that adds to its appeal. 

The Oasis Tile zellige range consists of factory-made porcelain or ceramic tiles that replicate the distinctive surface variation, glossy depth, and artisanal texture of authentic zellige. The result is the handcrafted look of zellige tile without the sealing requirements, uneven thickness, or installation difficulties associated with authentic handmade tile.

Why Choose Zellige-Style Tiles?

Zellige-style tiles match the aesthetic qualities of the original handcrafted tiles, but also offer several practical benefits, including:

• An artisanal appearance without the premium handmade price

• Easier installation due to more consistent tile sizing

• Durable porcelain and glazed ceramic surfaces

• Lower-maintenance materials that resist moisture and stains

• Versatile styles for backsplashes, bathrooms, showers, and accent walls

• Multiple tile formats, including square, subway, and elongated designs

Our zellige look tile is especially popular in modern organic interiors and for creating a Mediterranean feel in living spaces, transitional kitchens, and contemporary bathrooms.

Zellige-Look Tiles by Collection

We offer three zellige look tile collections at Oasis Tile, each with its own distinct character and appeal. 

Evellon Collection – Elongated Zellige Porcelain (3x16)

Of the three collections in the Oasis Tile catalog, Evellon most convincingly replicates the look of authentic zellige tile. With their glossy porcelain texture and soft tonal variation, they create a modern handcrafted feel. They are available in a wide range of colors, including Birgon Grey, Terrol Green, Drake Black, Altura Blue, and Whister White. 

These tiles are available in an elongated 3x16 format, which works equally well in modern stacked layouts and offset patterns, and is effective for Moroccan tile backsplashes, shower walls, vanity feature walls, and contemporary kitchen installations. 

Menorca Collection – Square Artisanal Ceramic (4x4)

The Oasis Tile Menorca collection provides zellige tiles in a classic 4x4 square format. With their glossy ceramic surfaces and subtle handcrafted variation, they add significant warmth and texture to both modern and traditional interiors. 

The Menorca collection is available in a wide range of colors, including Lemon Yellow, Aqua, Lake Green, White, Amun Blue, Forest Black, and Rust Brown, which work beautifully in various applications, such as full backsplash walls, bathroom accent walls, and Moroccan-inspired interiors.

Hanoi Collection – Artisanal Subway Ceramic (2.5x8)

For a softer take on the traditional subway tile, consider the Hanoi collection. This combines an artisanal glossy finish with a versatile 2.5x8 format and a handcrafted appearance that adds depth and movement. 

The Hanoi collection is available in four striking colors: White, Sky Blue, Celadon Green, and Wild Olive, all of which add sophisticated style to any space. These zellige subway tile options work especially well on kitchen backsplashes and shower walls, and are well-suited to traditional and transitional interiors.
