Add Supernatural Energy to Your Kitchen with Moroccan Tiles!

Moroccan tiles have a rich history and date back to the 10th century. These beautiful and intricate geometric shapes and patterns created with vibrant colors have been immortalized in home decor books. They exude a mystical air and are often chosen to add that hypnotic style to a room.

Moroccan tiles often use geometric shapes such as squares, circles, polygons, and more to create beautiful, symmetrical patterns. The symmetry of these patterns has a mathematical precision that makes them even more incredible. These patterns are often designed using different colors, so the tiles not only have incredible patterns; they are also vibrant to look at.

Originally, Moroccan tiles only came in white and brown, but today you can choose from a wide variety of colors and patterns. The colors chosen are usually white, green, brown, saffron, black and blue because these are synonymous with the elements of the Earth.

In this article, we look at how you can style your kitchen using Moroccan tiles. We have some designs that are subtle and minimal, and some that are adventurous and bold. Without further ado, here are 5 different design ideas for using Moroccan tiles in your kitchen.

1. Fine Designs

The first idea we have is a perfect idea for people who love minimal and elegant designs. Traditionally, Moroccan tiles include many different shapes, patterns and colors and for someone who loves minimal designs this might be a bit too much.

If you are one of these people, don’t worry, you can still use Moroccan tiles for your kitchen. Choose a simple flooring design and stick to that one design for the entire space. You can bring Moroccan tile designs into your kitchen without compromising on elegance.

2. Fascinating Geometry

This is a classic Moroccan tile design that you can use for your kitchen. Moroccan designs love geometric shapes. This style uses squares and circles to mimic the sun and stars, and the design exudes an almost celestial aura.

The idea here is to use this Moroccan tile design in limited quantities, perhaps just for a single row. You can use complementary tiles for the rest of the area or simply paint over it. This creates quite an interesting effect and the minimal use of designed tiles actually makes it more appealing.

3. Eclectic Mix

This idea is quite different from the first two. While the first two ideas we had for you infused minimalism into Moroccan designs by using a single design and repeating it, this one does the opposite – featuring a mix of different Moroccan style tiles on a single wall.

The result is a stunning wall that will be hard to take your eyes off. You should be careful with this idea though, as a mix of different Moroccan tiles can quickly become cluttered and lead to a garish wall. To avoid clashing designs, choose a color and pattern theme and then choose Moroccan tiles from within that theme. This will create a beautiful mix of designs that complement each other.

For example, the color scheme in the kitchen below is brown and blue. While the tiles have different patterns, they all follow this color theme, creating a pleasant result.

4. Complete Wall

Moroccan tiles have a mystical and spiritual air that can be magnified by covering an entire wall with Moroccan tiles. A single wall with Moroccan tiles will look especially good when the other walls are painted a light, neutral color. As with the previous design, you should be careful when choosing different patterns and colors. The designs should complement each other rather than compete.

This concept really works well in kitchens that otherwise have a bland feel. Moroccan tiles add a splash of color and an element of intrigue to the kitchen’s décor. It’s a good idea to opt for a wall that has base cabinets and other wall cabinets installed, as this will limit the space available for adding tiles, which will keep the wall from looking gaudy and save you money.

5. Layer of Symmetry

The last idea we have for you revolves around minimalism. However, this design focuses more on the symmetry that is created when all the tiles are placed together rather than the patterns and designs of each individual tile.

In this design concept, the wall looks like it has one consistent design, rather than looking like a wall with different individual tiles placed on it. If you like a subtle decor but also want to incorporate colorful Moroccan tiles in the kitchen, you can use this idea.

Designing Your Kitchen to Suit Your Style

As we said before, Moroccan tiles are quite fascinating and hypnotic. They are traditionally Islamic and carry within them the mysticism of spirituality. In fact, they were used to design mosques and Mughal palaces.

Moroccan tiles have made a comeback in recent years and are quite popular among people today. If you are renovating your home or decorating a new home, you should consider using Moroccan tiles, even if only sparingly. You will love the supernatural energy it will bring to your room.
