What Is Terrazzo?
Even if you’re not exactly sure what terrazzo is, you’ve definitely seen it and probably walked on it. Terrazzo is a durable, speckled material, usually made from small pieces of marble, quartz, glass and other materials that are set in concrete or resin and smoothed down flat. There can be a lot of variety in color, size and shape of the smaller pieces that make up the larger slabs or tiles, which means it’s easy to achieve a one-of-a-kind look in your space. This London kitchen designed by POST-OFFICE features sage cabinets (also a major trend this year!) and statement-making black terrazzo with specks of green, yellow and orange. This engineered marble terrazzo, which you may have seen popping up on Instagram and Pinterest, is called Marmoreal, which means "marble-like," and was designed by Dzek in collaboration with Max Lamb.
