What is terrazzo?
Straight out of our grandparents’ kitchen, terrazzo is resurfacing and conquering budding decorators with its vintage look. And for good reason, this coating made from cement to which aggregates are added is available in an extremely varied palette of colours.
Its speckled effect is reminiscent of superb mosaics, giving terrazzo unlimited decorative potential. Not to mention its solidity and resistance, which make this type of coating a must have in living rooms.
Did you know ?
The history of terrazzo dates back to ancient Egypt, but it really took on the form it was known for in Italy, when architects in Venice used it as an inexpensive floor covering.
A total graphic look in the bathroom
Are you a fan of contemporary aesthetics and not afraid to dare? So use the terrazzo tile to cover both the floor and the walls of your bathroom. A bold bias for a pop and colorful style! Since it will be the key element of the room, on the other hand, adopt a minimalist decoration to avoid contrasts that swear too much.
The terrazzo worktop for the kitchen
Those who prefer to bet on elegance will fall for the striking detail: the terrazzo worktop. More discreet than flooring and wallpaper, it gives character to the room without overdoing it. Here once more, you can play on the colors to match the aesthetics of the living room: pastels, light tones,…
The terrazzo credenza
In a white kitchen, nothing like a terrazzo splashback to enhance the warmth of the room! Our favourite: a credenza in pastel tones, which you can match with storage units by painting them pale pink. For a soft and poetic atmosphere in your kitchen!
The terrazzo in small touches
Do you only like terrazzo in small doses? That’s good, because it is also possible to adopt it only on a few objects. We are thinking in particular of light suspensions, which bring a touch of audacity to your living rooms.
That’s not enough and you still want a little more color in your living room? Match the light suspensions to the coffee table, to give your interior a little punch. In short, terrazzo is available on all decorative objects, from candlesticks to wall decorations, including vases.
As you will have understood, you can integrate terrazzo into all living rooms, in a minimalist or daring way. Whatever your decorative desires, it adapts to all aesthetics!
