Until not long ago, terrazzo was most frequently seen as flooring or a wall surface in early- to mid-20th century apartment blocks and public buildings. But the material, which in fact dates back, in a recognisable form, to 18th century Italy, has been having quite a comeback moment and is popping up in many guises in lots of cool homes on Houzz. Terrazzo is a hard, cool, flecked surface, traditionally set in place by pouring and levelling it on site. It’s made up of chips of marble, granite, quartz, glass or other suitable material, typically set in concrete but also sometimes in epoxy resin. Once set, the surface is polished until it’s smooth. Increasingly, terrazzo is appearing not only as something other than flooring (it makes a fantastic worktop, table top or splashback), but also in different formats. Read on to discover the stylish possibilities.
