Description

Moroccan Zellige Tiles

Basil Moroccan Zellige 10×10 features a natural green tone with soft shade variation typical of handmade tiles. Its square shape makes it easy to use in kitchens, bathrooms, and decorative walls where a calm, earthy touch is needed. The glaze reflects light subtly, giving each tile a slight movement without overpowering the space. Basil is ideal for modern, rustic, or Mediterranean interiors seeking a balanced green accent.
