Hot Trend Alert: Terrazzo

Terrazzo is trending this year in the world of interior design and it’s no surprise this versatile and timeless style is at the top of everyone’s Pinterest board. Let’s explore why terrazzo is the 2024 trend to watch, and how you can incorporate it into your space.

 

What is terrazzo?

Originating in Italy, terrazzo is a composite flooring that traditionally featured marble chips, and later incorporated quartz, granite and glass into the mix for added durability. Also known for its enduring charm and ease of maintenance, terrazzo has been a top choice for centuries and is now enjoying a resurgence in popularity.

 

Béton Surface has developed an alternative method to conventional and costly terrazzo, while still maintaining the unique artistic look: polyaspartic with vinyl flakes. By combining different flake sizes and colours, we can mimic the original look of terrazzo in a more efficient way.

 

Coordinating trendy terrazzo

 

Add as an accent colour

If you’d like to add a taste of terrazzo without making it the focal point of your flooring, we suggest adding it as an accent colour. Terrazzo pieces can be used as decorative borders or to create patterns that add a unique touch to your space without taking it over.

 

Use as a complete floor

For a bolder statement that’s also tough enough to keep up with high-traffic areas, the terrazzo look is also a great option for an entire floor covering. With high resistance and low maintenance, polyaspartic terrazzo  is perfect for kitchens, living rooms, and even bathrooms. It can also be used outdoors for balconies, entryways and pool surrounds. .

 

Terrazzo colour matching

We offer a wide range of terrazzo colours to suit every style and taste. Here are some of our most popular shades, with colour combinations on trend in 2024.

Denali

Denali terrazzo combines neutral hues in dark grey and beige with subtle flashes of black for an elegant, sophisticated look. This shade is perfect for a modern, minimalist space. We recommend a contrasting colour scheme to increase the accent on the floor, while highlighting the different tones in the vinyl flakes.

Armadillo

With warm shades of browns, sands and hints of grey, Armadillo terrazzo offers a contemporary, refined aesthetic. It’s ideal for complementing a chic, warm and uncluttered floor covering.

Juneau

Juneau terrazzo blends bursts of colour into a neutral base, adding a touch of dynamism to any room. This choice is perfect for those who want to bring life and energy to their space.
