The irregularities in shape, texture, and color that come from hand-finishing are typical of moroccan-moorish floor and tile walls. Wall tiles sre predominantely used in the kitchen and bathroom, as they provide a hygienic surface that is both waterproof and easy to clean, and offer smoother finish to counteract the rough natural surfaces. Today neither of these rooms has a purely utilitarian function. The kitchen has become the warm heart of the home while the bathroom has become a private sanctuary that is inviting and pleasant to enter.

The masters artisans "maalmeen" in old citi.es in Morocco are still using old techniques cutting zellij "mosaic tile", the same techniques used centuries ago. Nowadays we still can see some unbelievable zellij work in Alhamabra palace and in the whole Andalusia province -Spain. Moorish moved for a peaceful life in north of Morocco and carried with them the entire culture which is now a moroccan way of life.
