Arabesque Tile & Stone
Custom Arabesque tile and stone surface design for bathrooms, spas and corridors.
The brief.
A luxury bathroom or spa interior with ceramic tiles inspired by Zellij geometry and scrolling vine patterns. Ivory and sand color palette, subtle turquoise accent, brass fixtures — the chan-zhi vine borrowing the language of Islamic tile, in a contemporary Arabesque luxury context.

Where the vine comes from.
The eight-point star grid of Islamic Zellij is the frame; the Chinese vine is the fill. Where traditional Zellij uses solid color fills, we let the vine curve flow inside each star — geometry as bone, tendril as flesh, the same method as the parquet but scaled down to tile.
From motif to material.
Six steps take the vine from a traditional line drawing to a buildable surface — the same method across all hi9 works.
Adopt star grid
Use the eight-point star grid as the tile framework.
Fill with vine
Let the vine curve flow inside each star — not solid color, but living line.
Scale to tile
Tune the vine to read at 100×100mm and 200×200mm tile sizes.
Glaze test
Test the vine line in cream, sand and turquoise glazes.
Pair with brass
Add brass trim and fixtures to bridge tile and metal.
Wet-area adapt
Engineer glaze and grout for bathroom, spa and pool environments.
The right material.
Ivory Glaze
Primary tile — calm, bright, reflects light.
Sand Glaze
Secondary tile — warmth, desert reference.
Turquoise Accent
Small accent — a whisper of Gulf color.
Navy Vine Line
Optional dark vine line for contrast.
Natural Stone
Optional stone field around the tile feature.
Brass Trim
Brass edge trim and fixtures — bridge to metal.
The vine, in space.
Each rendering drops the design into a real Middle Eastern interior — so you can see the vine walk, lean and live before any material is cut.
Buildable, not just beautiful.
