15 Terrazzo Decor Pieces That Prove the Material Is Here To Stay
From the window to the wall (kinda), this classic material goes beyond trendy.
My affair with terrazzo began in a tile store in Paris last November. In search of flooring that had the elegance of marble but a little less cold (and generally, less expensive), a large, creamy slab of terrazzo with bright chips in sage, gold, charcoal, and terracotta caught my eye. So elementary-school chic! Color me a millennial, but I was instantly hooked.
From the Italian word for “terrace,” terrazzo is a composite material made with irregular-shaped pieces of marble, quartz, granite, or glass, all combined together with a neutral binder. A sustainable option from the outset, it was created by 16th-century Venetian artisans to repurpose marble pieces leftover from the production of marble slabs.
Once I fell for the charming speckled look, I began seeing it in all types of home decor pieces from floor to ceiling. Maybe it was a case of the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, or maybe terrazzo really was (still) having a moment. According to industry reports, the terrazzo flooring market is growing at 4.9 percent and is expected to hit $31,951.2 million in 2025. In the past three years, Google searches for terrazzo coffee tables and planters have risen 1,450 percent and 550 percent, respectively.
In fact, the aesthetic is so popular that it’s spawned terrazzo-inspired items entirely divorced from the original material, like painted vases, wallpaper, and more. Proving that the aesthetic isn’t limited to millennials, even TikTok has a robust community of Gen-Z terrazzo enthusiasts. [This video from small biz Terrazzo Parazo, for example, has more than 1.8 million views—and is strangely hypnotic. “The sound tickles my brain,” writes one user, while another writes “M&M McFlurry.” I mean, neither of those are not not true.
