All decorating trends are cyclical, so it’s no surprise that terrazzo is once again having a moment. Learn how to say this playful material’s name first. Pronounced tear-rah-zow, this durable composite was invented in 16th century Italy to use cast off stone pieces.

Terrazzo's History

Popular during art deco design in the twenties and then again in the seventies, you’ve probably seen terrazzo used in countertops, floor tiles and backsplashes. Containing a kaleidoscope of colors, shapes and details, it brings a grounding element to a room while working seamlessly with other décor pieces since it’s made of so many materials. Plus, it just feels fun and unfussy compared to other surfaces.  

The easiest way to try this trend at home is through accent pieces or ready-made surfaces like countertops or tiles. It’s incredibly durable and easy to clean, making it beautiful and practical in a family home. Shop Lowe’s terrazzo décor pieces for your own home today.
