Need a dose of inspiration? (Let's be honest, who doesn't?) Look no further than these cool kitchen ideas we spotted around the Web this week. Handcrafted Moroccan tiles, fold-up kitchens, and more! 

#1. Marvelous Moroccan Tile (photo above)

Spare the jet lag—you don’t need to fly thousands of miles to Marrekesh to enjoy unique, colorful tiles. Locally made and rich in history and tradition, there is no wonder these Morroccan tiles, known as "zellige," are showing up stateside. Spotted on: style-files.com 

#2. Plates As Art

Some plates are just too pretty to keep in kitchen cabinets. With different shapes, sizes, colors, and patterns, plates can be a creative (and gorgeous) alternatives to traditional, framed art—especially in the kitchen. Spotted on: 7thhouseontheleft.com

#3. White Ice

We know stainless steel holds reign in the kitchen, but Whirlpool’s new White Ice collection is ready to change things up. While White Ice may never garner similar popularity, we happily welcome a new contender to the standard black, white, and stainless steel finish options. Spotted on: apartmenttherapy.com

#4. Salvaged Wooden Shelves

We love what you can do with bracket mounts and a piece of salvaged wood. Whether you’re storing spices or displaying photographs, these DIY shelving ideas are both rustic and functional. Spotted on: remodelista.com

#5. Unfold The Kitchen

You've seen beds that neatly fold into walls, but do you know that the same disappearing can hold true in a kitchen? Snaidero makes it possible with “Board”, a modern stow-away kitchen equipped with a stovetop, work top and sink. City dwellers, take note! Spotted on: trendir.com

What a great new twist for decorative plates as wall art!
