Let’s Talk Terrazzo – 12 Ways To Try the Trend at Home + Beyond

Let’s Talk Terrazzo – 12 Ways To Try the Trend at Home + Beyond

Originally created in the 16th century as a means to repurpose excess stone chippings, terrazzo has remained a fixture in the design world ever since. You know it when you see it of course, but what makes terrazzo, terrazzo? The composite material is defined by the multicolored pieces of material set into cement (though today terrazzo patterns can be achieved with a variety of materials), that come together to create a confetti-like display of colors and textures that feels retro, playful, and classic all at once. While terrazzo has never truly left us, I’m psyched that it’s having another moment – expanding from its flooring roots into endless design interpretations, from planters and decor to jewelry and dinnerware. Interested in trying the terrazzo trend for yourself? Read on for 12 terrazzo-inspired finds that’ll get you started – find more in the Design Milk Shop.
