Brooke Shields elevates a classic kitchen color combination with this 10th century-inspired tile technique

Brooke Shields.

It's hard to fault the timelessness and versatility of a black and white kitchen, but in all its benefits, it's vital to know how to ensure this palette doesn't fall on the wrong side of boring. Enter – Brooke Shields, who has demonstrated yet another way to make this classic color combination feel alive, and it comes in the shape of her white Zellige kitchen tiles, seen on the wall behind her stove.

Hailing from Morocco, and dating back to the 10th century, Zellige tiles are usually square (much like the ones seen in Shields's kitchen), but they can come in all shapes and sizes. Every tile is often created by hand, meaning each one has a different finish, due to the glaze the color variations can be limitless.
