More than just a flooring material, terrazzo has received a contemporary resurgence lately. Here are some ways you can incorporate its playful retro look into your abode
In recent years, terrazzo has made a huge comeback as a trending material in interiors. Originating from Italy, the composite material is made by mixing chips of marble, quartz, granite, and other suitable materials before polishing them to a smooth surface.
Today, modern terrazzo has evolved slightly from its predecessor. Alongside using traditional cement to produce terrazzo, resin is also favoured for its resistance to scratches and cracking. The speckled pattern is available in a kaleidoscope of colours, and the chips are typically bigger and chunkier to achieve a bold visual effect. Besides flooring, the new wave of terrazzo has also been making its rounds nearly everywhere—from countertops to textiles, and even on homeware.
Loving how vibrant it is? Here, we’ve gathered several stylish ways to inspire you to incorporate terrazzo tiles and terrazzo-like designs into your abode.

1. Dress the walls
One of the most straightforward ways to include a terrazzo-like design into your interiors is by using wallpaper. This brings an artful atmosphere into any room, whether it's a statement feature wall or on all four walls.
If you’re not looking for a full-scale makeover, turn to wall decals instead. Homegrown decal brand Evercasa offers removable fabric decals in a range of terrazzo-like designs. Opt for smaller confetti-like shapes to mimic the look of natural terrazzo, or choose fun geometric shapes for a playful touch.
