Hi everyone, and welcome back to Home Design Chat with Nancy, where we talk about everything you need to know before you design, build, or remodel your home.

Today we are diving into a trend that is absolutely everywhere right now—and that is Zellige-style tile.

You’ve probably seen it all over Instagram, in kitchens, bathrooms, even entire shower walls… that glossy, slightly uneven tile that just glows.

But here’s the question— Is it really as great as it looks?

And more importantly… is it right for your home?

So today, Gil Olachea, owner of Ceramica in Scottsdale, Arizona, is back with me to help break it all down—because this is one of those products that looks simple… but is definitely not simple when it comes to installation.

Our topics today are:

• What is Zellige Tile?
• Why everyone loves it
• The Reality check
• Cost & expectations
• Maintenance & function
• Where to use it & where not to use it
• Smart alternatives

If you’re planning on a renovation, I would definitely be happy to work with you. You can email me anytime at [email protected]—I’d love to hear from you.
