19. Moroccan Zellige Tile Entry Niche
What This Idea Means
Introducing handcrafted luxury and vibrant artisan character through glazed ceramic zellige tiles surrounding the main entrance alcove.
How to Make It

- Frame the tile niche with a smooth plaster or carved stone archway.
- Place potted citrus trees in terracotta pots near the entryway threshold.
