Why should you choose terrazzo flooring for your home?

For those of you who have arrived late to the party: yes, terrazzo style is a thing, and it has been in the last year, but its moment is yet to be over. 

This traditional flooring has found a new way of shining in the most exclusive projects all around europe and, more recently, it has found its way into the interior designs of commercial projects as well as of the private homes of worldwide known celebrities – such as Mandy Moore, the star of the NBC family drama This Is Us – who has opted for a terrazzo flooring style for both the pavements of her house and some bespoke shelves. 

So, if it is good enough for hollywood stars it should be enough for us, right? So let’s have a look together among the various re-interpretation of the classical terrazzo floors to see why you should choose terrazzo flooring for your home!

 

VINTAGE TERRAZZO LOOK 

Classic terrazzo flooring was born in Italy as a cheaper way to create floor coverings. It basically consisted in a variety of pieces of different materials (e.g. quartzs and marbles) mixed together with concrete and then polished to create a smooth finish. It is still present in many historic buildings and villas around the peninsula. 

Although in the last years it had disappeared from projects, the vintage terrazzo floors are now very present in the newest interior trends and many ceramic producers have decided to jump on the bandwagon and present their personal interpretation of the vintage terrazzo floors in different minimal and modern designs.
