The pieces that make the difference
- Glazed zellige splashback, deliberately irregular setting
- Natural stone worktop with an eased edge
- Thick solid-timber open shelves, 5 cm minimum
- Unglazed terracotta jars and pots
The mistake to avoid
Setting zellige perfectly aligned. Their irregularity is the point — a millimetre-perfect job makes them look like mass-produced tile.
What it actually costs
Zellige is expensive per square metre, but a splashback is a small area. It is the best effect-per-euro move in this kitchen.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Mediterranean kitchen right?
A Mediterranean kitchen pairs limewashed walls, a natural-stone worktop, zellige tiles as a splashback and heavy dark timber. Base units are closed and wall units are replaced by thick open timber shelves.
Is zellige easy to maintain?
Yes, the glaze wipes clean. It is the wider, irregular grout lines that need more frequent cleaning behind a hob.
Open shelves or wall units?
Open, for the style — but only on the wall opposite the hob. Above cooking they collect grease.
