![]() There are plenty of fabulous tiles to choose from, but few with as much history and influence as the Moroccan zellige tiles. Zellige (also spelled zellij or zillij and pronounced "zee-LEEJE ") tile is a glossy (usually, but sometimes unglazed), striking Moroccan tile that has taken the design world by storm in recent years. We think the glossy finished Zellige tiles were the perfect choice for this kitchen and living area’s focal point!īefore: The traditional kitchen was closed in and dark.Īfter: Removing a dividing wall, repositioning appliances, and creating a stunning focal point with a custom range hood and a Mestizaje Zellige tiled backsplash transformed the outdated kitchen into a bright, modern space perfect for living, dining, and entertaining. At first, the homeowner was interested in the matte version, but later, she and the design team decided the glossy finish would reflect light better and add some glimmer to the space. The design team presented her with Zellige from our Mestizaje ceramic tile collection for the backsplash, and she loved it! The handcrafted aesthetics of zellige tile combined with durability, easy maintenance, and standard installation procedures of the ceramic look-alike made Mestizaje an easy choice. The homeowner had the idea to use Zellige tiles for the kitchen backsplash to compliment the custom range hood and bring a modern, yet timeless look to the space. A stunning range hood was custom-built on-site, and a local artist designed and applied the plaster finish. The kitchen design also included relocating the appliances and designing a focal point to create the wow factor for the entire space. ![]() KBF came up with a clever alternative for the space: a coffee bar/beverage station with a barrel ceiling, rich wood cabinetry, and floating shelves. The client was interested in a green-colored island, so the KBF team steered her toward Sherwin William’s Rosemary because the dark sage green with gray undertones would make a dramatic statement. (Rosemary happens to be Sherwin Williams' color of the month for November!)Īdditionally, the homeowner wanted to remove the area next to the refrigerator in the original plan, but the discovery of a load-bearing wall changed the plan. Kristie Holloway with KBF Design Gallery in Orlando, Florida, came to the rescue with a new floorplan that removed the wall dividing the kitchen and family room and included a large island in the center of the larger space. The homeowner wanted to open the floorplan of the traditionally styled kitchen to create a lighter, more modern aesthetic. As is often the case, the dark, closed-in kitchen needed updating, allowing the new homeowner to inject her own style. Buying one’s parent’s house can be an excellent option for those wanting to keep their family home in the family - and that’s just what this design client did.
