You must have noticed how many elements of Italian style has crept into our interiors over the last year or so. There seems to be cycles design like most things. Oriental art or African themes drifts in and out of vogue as does Asian, Mediterranean and American styles. At the moment, there is a real resurgence of all thing Italian and one of the lynchpins of this movement is the Terrazzo look. I'm a bog fan of using faux Terrazzo as wallpaper like the above or as Terrazzo look vinyl and linoleum. Its such a clever design and simple in effect but actually quite deep in how it can translate to your space. From using different colours to bring out the accents in your existing decor to something completely different to juxtapose your space. I like some of the pinks and greys and matched with a complementary worktop in the kitchen or geo design rug in the lounge, Terrazzo is certainly a way to make your home decor mark. Terrazzo started life back in Venice as a way to use up marble chips in a decorative but cost effective way. In a mix of cemen-like mortar, marble slivers that would have been left over from larger projects, were dropped into the mix. Patterns and designs could be achieved by placing different colours and textures together or going for a totally random appearance. This build up of pattern and colour creates a harmonious feel and looks just Bellissimo as a flooring.
After the mortar has set, the Terrazzo is polished to within an inch of its life to give a deep, lustrous sheen that looks totally extravagant. Think of a wide hotel lobby stretching out in front of you. The gentle wind whistling through the open shutter doors and people eating alfresco outside on the terrace. The floor of the lobby radiant in the low afternoon sun, the Terrazzo flooring sparkling underfoot. Wow, what a vision! Now you can see why Terrazzo is 2018's hottest home decor trend!
