Thank you Elizabeth! Beautiful! We also have the sloped ceiling haha. Did your installer have any issues with the zellige tile? I have been debating between calacatta and Carrara for the floor, and this may have swayed me (if I can talk my husband into the extra cost haha!) The calacatta looks so nice with the zellige in your bathroom. We are also doing wood vanities like you.

Hi Erika! It was our installers first time with zellige, but they did not run into any real issues. It did take longer than they anticipated originally just because of the extra time it takes to soak the tiles. They also mitered the edges of the tile around the shower which is quite labor intensive. One thing I wish I would have done differently is specified the size of the shower niche to the installers, the tile is quite thick and they did not really take that into account when measuring the niche so it turned out a bit smaller than I would have liked. I did not deal with Riad tile directly, my contractor ordered the tile for us, but they had great customer service (I have heard the opposite about cle which I did order a sample from). Hope that helps!

I got the black zellige tiles from Cle. (along w/these others that were on clearance)

I wanted to do an inset in my wood floor

right after install.

year later. Black grout is a PIA to keep looking dark.

The tiles are easy to cut. I didn't know I had to seal them so I did get a few etching types of stains. I've since sealed and it's fine. they clean up w/anything. easy to cut. Some tiles have to be culled because they're too bowed or the color is way off, so order at least 20% overage.

I installed the cement tiles myself on the coffee bar area. these come presealed.

Loved my Cle tile as well. They have chips but you can still use most. We placed some in places we knew would be covered but the grout also fills in many of the chips. We just moved and will be remodeling again. I would use them in every room if I could! We used them on kitchen backsplash and powder room backsplash. Kitchen is weathered white. Powder room is tea ceremony. Kitchen was done by retired tile guy who does wonderful work!! His first time with zellige. We took good notes and installed the bathroom tiles...My first time tiling. They are not perfect so I figured it was a good place to start! Good luck!

Omg that blue is to die for — I know the feeling — I want to use zellige in every room and envision the blue in the kids bathroom when we renovate it!! Thanks a-hem!! Beautiful! Especially with the brass pulls! 😍

Thanks Beth H!! Those all look stunning! I liked the white from Cle the best so good to know that it worked out fine with Cle!

@Elizabeth Clampitt Looks wonderful! Can I ask if you have the Brizo Luxe Gold faucet in Odin and shower fixtures? I was thinking of getting them, how do you like them?

@Erika McConnell - what did you end up deciding here? Going through a similar decision and not sure what to do! Want 4x4 or 5x5 zellige Snow White walls, 2x2 Calacatta marble hex shower floor , and 12x24 Calacatta bathroom floor.. is this mixing too many styles/ design elements?
