Decorative Surfaces

Hand, pattern and irregularity, chosen on purpose.

01Our view

Zellige, handmade ceramic, cement tile, terrazzo and relief surfaces. These materials carry the mark of how they were made. We help decide where that character belongs, and where a room needs calm around it.

02Where it works

  • Backsplashes
  • Powder rooms
  • Entries and mudrooms
  • Accent floors
  • Fireplace faces

03What to know

Irregular by nature
Zellige and handmade tile vary in size, thickness and glaze. Wider joints and a setter who knows the material are part of the look.
Cement tile
Cement tile is porous and must be sealed before grouting and maintained afterwards.
Order extra
Hand-made batches differ. We order overage from one batch so repairs match.
