Collection: Moroccan Tiles for Kitchen

Are Moroccan tiles practical in a busy kitchen? 

Yes, glazed ceramic Moroccan tiles are low-maintenance, moisture-resistant, and easy to wipe down - ideal for an environment with daily splashes and grease. 

Avoid porous, unglazed cement tiles on kitchen walls unless sealed regularly, as they can stain from oil spills.

Where in the kitchen do Moroccan tiles work best? 

The most popular application is as a backsplash behind the hob or sink, where the pattern creates a natural focal point. 

They also work beautifully on a kitchen island or as a feature wall. For flooring, stick to glazed ceramic or porcelain options - they handle foot traffic and spills better than unglazed or cement varieties.

Will Moroccan tiles suit a modern kitchen, or do they only work in traditional interiors? 

They work in both. Bold patterns paired with handleless cabinetry and concrete worktops look thoroughly contemporary. 

For a more subtle effect, choose geometric designs in neutral or muted tones and let the pattern do the work without overwhelming the space.

How do I avoid the kitchen feeling too busy with patterned tiles? 

Use Moroccan tiles on one surface - typically the backsplash - and keep surrounding cabinetry and worktops understated. 

Pairing a bold pattern with plain white or wood-effect units creates balance rather than visual overload.
