The Simple Brilliance of Riad’s New White Zellige Mosaics

It’s the season of celebrations, and we’re thrilled to add a new Zellige tile to our collection, just in time for some end-of-year design planning for a 2024 refresh. These snow and natural white mosaics feature triangle and trapezoid patterns that add a perfect amount of complexity and fun to the homemade, warm feeling we love from Zellige tile.

We can’t wait to see how designers and DIY enthusiasts will use these new white mosaic Zellige tiles. Our inspiration wheels are already turning with a few of our favorite ideas for incorporating these fresh tiles in different spaces.

White Tile: A Neutral for Layering

So many design overhauls include honing in on your personal style. We take an outdated or cookie-cutter builder’s home and infuse it with our design aesthetic (often after a few too many years of staring at that beige wall). Even when you love your choices, worrying about loving them in another five, 10, or 20 years can be easy. Our best advice? Choose time-tested neutrals for your structural components. You can easily layer different styles on top when you’re ready for a change. White tile is one of the best neutrals for layering.

This stunning kitchen from @buildtxsolutions shows how well natural wooden shelves mesh with our Natural White 2”x6” Thin Zellige. The homeowners can style these shelves many different ways over the years without worrying about clashing hues or feeling pressured to update the backsplash. We also love white in the kitchen for its universally clean look. Even the handmade, organic edges on the Zellige tile look polished and inviting in a tidy, white space. We have a sneaking suspicion that our new Natural White or Snow White 1”x4” Zellige Trapezoid Mosaic tile would look equally stellar as the backdrop for home-cooked kitchen magic.

Mosaic Tile: Adding Subtle Interest

Sometimes you want to go bold with your tile choices: bright colors, large tiles, striking patterns. At other times, however, a more subtle nod to your flair for the dramatic might be more appropriate for the room. If you have a space that needs some vibrant detail without drawing too much attention, a mosaic pattern in a neutral color is the perfect option. We love how the simple hexagonal pattern in this shower installation gives the space so much life.

Just as our Snow Hex Zellige brought quite a bit of style to this shower from @farmhouseish, we’re excited to see the difference our new mosaic Zellige tiles will make in deserving spaces around the house. The Snow White or Natural White Zellige Triangle Mosaic are excellent options for small spots that need just the right sprinkle of drama. We’re imagining a stunning vanity backsplash or mudroom floor-to-ceiling design that would make doing laundry just a bit more exciting.

What better time to start a room refresh than the new year? You still have time to take advantage of our flat-rate shipping discount for orders placed through the end of 2023. With the latest triangle and trapezoid mosaic tile options added to the mix, we’re excited about the possibilities for a clean, bright, and whimsical new year of design in all of our homes.
