Before we take the plunge into the specifics of Terrazzo-Effect Porcelain Tiles, let us first understand what Terrazzo is?

So, what is Terrazzo?

Simply put, Terrazzo is a type of material born from the processing of colored marbles and other stones of different sizes mixed with lime (or cement). In that era, the methods to process them were very complex which required creative reuse of waste(recycling at that time was not so much popular). The result: Extremely large marble floorings that held elaborate designs with subtle to extreme effects used to uplift the floor aesthetics. So, If you want to recreate the timeless ambiance that once embellished historic noble homes with its geometric shapes, twists & turns, and beautiful border lines, Terrazzo might just be the right choice for you!

What are the roots of Venetian Terrazzo?

This type of flooring has a long history. Commonly mistaken to have originated in Venice, these surfaces and their laying technique were already used in ancient Greece where they were made of torrent stones set and mixed with lime or clay. Yet, we cannot overlook the fact that Terrazzo floors owe their fame to Venice, where they were brought by Romans during the Renaissance to decorate floors.

Perhaps some brass taps to add a little glamour? To design such a setting, we recommend using dynamic color tiles and sticking to a neutral palette for furniture and fixtures for an elegant spa-like finish.

To create an excellent vintage and contemporary look, we suggest neutral or pastel hues with beige shades and avoid bold difficult-to-pair shades. Another remedy to accentuate your Terrazzo-look tiles in your bathrooms is to place darker furnishings that reflect light and create bold contrasts that affect the whole composition, creating chiaroscuro effects throughout the place.

Modern Kitchens

If a bathroom is the most important room in the house, then perhaps the kitchen is the most favorite room in the house; it is the heart of the house. Just like your bathrooms, the kitchens can equally adapt to your experimentation of different colors and finishes. If you are going for granulated porcelain tiles for kitchen floors, backsplashes, and tabletops, we would suggest you choose light wood furnishings, perhaps in birch, which give the kitchen more light and depth.

Walking on Terrazzo-look Porcelain Tile floors should be a pleasant experience in every way: their artistic designs catch the eye, also they feel soft and warm. To make your space more inviting and relaxing, it is suggested to not let the other decor elements be too overpowering. The dynamic nature of tiles is already enough for exuding authenticity, character, and sophistication, hence we advise you to use flat colors or light solid colors for furnishings and decors. This will create a perfect balance, restraining one to overpower the other while delivering the style and personality you want your home to reflect.

The Great Bounce Back

It has only been a little over a decade since these antique flooring tiles experienced a substantial makeover and bounced back to the world of design and architecture. In the beginning, it was considered an economic choice unlike its previous penchant for luxurious floorings. Often, considered to be “old-peoples-choice”, it had fallen out of trend due to randomness of colors only to bounce back with style and versatility today. Today, It has been given a modern twist, yet lending the same classical vibe. Suitable not just for flooring applications, Terrazzo-look tiles have tremendous potential to inspire the surrounding furnishings. In short, the advent of technology has enabled us to imitate the vintage styl that radiates contemporary elegance throughout the space.

In this type of design, even the smaller details can make substantial impacts. Adding brass, silver, or matt black taps can instill that additional opulence. In the past, where classic Venetian Terrazzo tiles were a sign of nobility and emanated the grandeur of wealth & permanence, today we use them in equally important settings where our design choices represent many modern and contemporary styles.
