Moroccan style when using checkerboard design is quite distinct. The tiles are ceramic, not stone and are ceramic sizes from 1 to 8 inches or 2 to 15 centimeters. When you are mixing patterns, the overall design is more cohesive if the ceramic tiles are about the same size. This allows your mind's eye to enjoy the pattern flow without being distracted by a change of material or texture.

Adding details to Moroccan style can be accomplished by changing the orientation of the tiles, size and outlining the areas. In the photo below the checkerboard in the pool and the deck are laid in a grid or straight lay. In the detail around the pool the tiles are smaller and the area outlined in black. Changing the checkerboard on the main pool deck to herringbone or any other pattern is part of the fun of making each design unique.
