Introduction: Your Space, Your Story—Told Through Tile
What if your floor could tell your brand story? What if your bathroom wall or kitchen backsplash could speak your design language? With custom Moroccan tiles, your space becomes a canvas—and cement tiles become your medium.
Whether you’re designing a boutique hotel, curating the mood of a modern house, or renovating a cozy ranch kitchen, Studio Cement Tile helps you craft something truly personal. Let’s explore how custom cement tiles can transform your vision into reality.
What Are Moroccan Tiles?
Cement tiles—also known as encaustic cement tiles or concrete tiles—are artisan-made, pigmented tiles handcrafted from cement, sand, and natural color pigments. Unlike ceramic tiles, which rely on glazing, cement tiles are pressed and air-cured, not fired in a kiln.
These handmade tiles have earned a place in design history for their durability and decorative charm, especially in high-traffic spaces like kitchens, bathrooms, patios, and commercial interiors. Their surface wears beautifully with age—making them ideal for both modern and vintage-style renovations.
Why Choose Custom Moroccan Tiles?
1. Total Design Freedom
With custom cement tiles, the possibilities are endless:
-
Choose from hundreds of patterned tile motifs or start from scratch
-
Select custom colors that match your brand or interior palette
-
Adjust size, shape, or layout to fit any project need
Whether you want antique tiles with a distressed finish, bold contemporary tiles for a retail space, or soft terracotta tiles for a farmhouse kitchen—custom is the way to go.
2. A Strong Brand Signature
For interior designers and business owners, a unique tile design becomes a signature. Imagine guests walking into your boutique and seeing a foyer tiled with your brand’s colors. Custom tiles make your space memorable—and Instagrammable.
3. A Conversation Piece
Because each tile is handcrafted, your custom cement tile isn’t just a design element—it’s a work of art with a story to tell. Your clients, guests, or friends will ask where you got them. You’ll be proud to say: “They were made just for us.”
Popular Styles: Moroccan Tiles & More
Studio Cement Tile specializes in all kinds of decorative tiles—but Moroccan tiles remain a top custom request for good reason:
Moroccan Tiles
Inspired by Zellige tiles and North African geometric design, Moroccan-style tiles are bold, timeless, and culturally rich. Ideal for floors, backsplashes, accent walls, and patios.
Encaustic Cement Tiles
Classic Victorian patterns in earthy tones or monochrome palettes. Great for vintage bathrooms and historical restorations.
Contemporary Tiles
Minimalist patterns and soft color gradients for sleek, modern spaces—often requested for loft apartments, cafes, or office lobbies.
Farmhouse, Ranch & Terracotta Tiles
Warm colors, natural finishes, and rustic vibes—perfect for kitchens, porches, or mudrooms.
Design Applications: Where Custom Tiles Shine
1. Bathroom Tiles
Create a custom patterned floor that contrasts beautifully with modern fixtures, or install a wall of Moroccan tiles in the shower for spa-like serenity.
2. Kitchen Tiles
Backsplashes are one of the best spots for custom tiles. Coordinate colors with your cabinets or add a repeating pattern that becomes the focal point of your kitchen design.
3. Floor Tiles
Make an impact with large-format custom tiles in entryways, dining areas, or patios. You can extend indoor patterns outdoors for seamless transitions.
4. Wall Tiles & Accent Panels
From behind a reception desk to the headboard wall in a bedroom, custom tiles can turn blank spaces into design statements.
5. Commercial & Hospitality
Restaurants, hotels, retail shops, and wellness spaces often use custom floor tiles or wall designs as part of their brand identity.
