In recent years, terrazzo has returned again
Regarding terrazzo, do you picture such antique homes from the past century? Although the terrazzo of the past might be a touch antiquated, now this “old cadre” has evolved into a fresh sweetheart of the design scene. Terrazzo nowadays not only eliminated the previous rusticity but also set a fashion trend with its vivid colours and unusual texture. Terrazzo has been experimented with fresh ideas in the hands of designers and has become a “newcomer” in home décor, whether it is delicate macaron colour blocks or futuristic metallic tones.
One may see the comeback of terrazzo as both creative and nostalgic. It has evolved brilliantly from the ancient feeling of history and exudes fresh vigour. Under the light, it is vibrantly textured. It is an artistic expression as much as a substance. What then is the appeal of terrazzo that fuels such obsession among people? Let us so investigate this “fashion veteran” together.
Terrazzo is what is it? An old acquaintance bearing a narrative
Terrazzo initially seemed to have a nostalgic quality. Its manufacturing technique also has a feeling of age: combining gravel, glass, quartz stone and other elements into cement, then grinding and polishing, thus producing a hard and durable surface. Simply said, terrazzo is “order in chaos,” giving the mixing of these haphazard stone bits a distinctive texture.
Still, don’t undervalue these gravels; contemporary technologies has given them a fresh spirit. The terrazzo nowadays is delicate and smooth, not rough; the surface may be as smooth as a mirror. It is like an old cadre who formerly wore a Zhongshan suit, changed to a trendy suit, and then become absolutely beautiful. Terrazzo has been resurrected from the grey “old feeling” and became a contemporary element in house décor, which is eye-catching after the deft processing of designers.

Floor: The “main battlefield” terrazzo offers
Naturally, the floor is the basic terrazzo application case. Large areas of the floor covered with terrazzo will give the room an especially open and clear impression.
