What’s inside

Designed with AI · tiles made by hand

Where to put it

The one spot per room where a tiled object reads as a decision, not a renovation. Panel, bench, arch, island — with the stop lines drawn.

What it really costs

Square metres, tile prices, fitting time. Real numbers per room, so you can decide in an evening instead of collecting quotes for a month.

Build it yourself

The protocol for a tiled coffee table, bench or panel: materials, adhesive, grout, the order of steps, the mistakes — photographed for real, not rendered. It moves out with you.

Are these real rooms?: No — they're designed with AI so you can see the move before you commit to it. The tiles are real, hand-cut zellige, and the build steps in the guide are photographed on a real table, with real hands.
Do I have to re-tile my house?: The opposite. The guide is one object per room, plaster around it. One exception — the bathroom, the room you drench — and we say why.
When is the full guide out?: Chapter one is free now, the moment you join the list. The full guide follows; the list hears first, with the price.
