A Guide to Customizing Your Moroccan Tiles

One of the most beautiful aspects of Moroccan zellij is its versatility. Beyond its rich cultural heritage and intricate designs, zellij offers a rare opportunity for customization—allowing architects, designers, and homeowners to create one-of-a-kind spaces that reflect their unique vision. At Mood Zellij, every tile is made to order, and every detail can be tailored to your needs.
The customization journey begins with color. Our handcrafted zellij tiles can be glazed in any hue, from earthy neutrals to vivid jewel tones. Whether you’re aiming for a soft beige to match a minimalist aesthetic or a bold cobalt blue to create a striking statement wall, we can help you select the perfect palette.
Our glazes are mixed and applied by hand, giving each tile depth and character that machine-made tiles simply can’t match.
Shape is the next step. Zellij comes in a wide array of traditional and modern forms, including stars, crosses, hexagons, Arabesque curves, and more. Each piece is cut by hand using ancient techniques, so there’s virtually no limit to what we can produce. If you have a specific motif or design in mind, we can bring it to life with loose zellij tiles or pre-assembled panels.
Pattern and layout are just as customizable. You can choose a classic geometric motif, an ornate floral arrangement, or even create a custom mosaic from a sketch or reference image. Our artisans work closely with you to develop digital mockups and layout suggestions that suit your space, ensuring every detail is perfect before production begins.
Tile size also plays a key role in customization. Whether you’re working with a small backsplash or a grand entryway, our tiles can be scaled to fit your dimensions. We’ll advise on the best proportions to maintain the visual balance and intricacy of your chosen design.
Finally, we guide you through lead times and logistics. Because every order is handcrafted in Morocco, production timelines vary based on complexity and quantity. Once your design is approved, we keep you informed throughout the process to ensure a smooth delivery.

These artisans do more than build—they tell stories. Every tile, every line, speaks of patience and precision. A wall of zellij may contain hundreds of pieces, yet not a single one is placed without intention. It is a spiritual practice as much as an artistic one. The repeating forms mirror the infinite. The discipline required to craft them is a meditation.
Zellij has always adapted without losing its soul. Today, it finds new life in contemporary design. From Parisian apartments to Californian retreats, from minimalist spas to ornate restaurants, Moroccan zellij tiles bring warmth, complexity, and heritage into the modern world. At MoodZellij, we work closely with artisans who have inherited this sacred craft. Whether you are drawn to the traditional elegance of Arabesque Zellij, the vibrant hues of Color Zellij, the simplicity of Panel Zellij, or the creative freedom of Loose Zellij, each piece we offer carries the imprint of Moroccan soil and spirit.
To bring zellij into your own space is to welcome a piece of history, shaped by hands that remember. It is to say yes to artistry, to culture, and to something enduring in a world that moves too fast.
