In this article, we’ll take a look at different decorative ideas using faux terrazzo decorations. When it comes to interior design, most people think about their living rooms or bedrooms. These spaces are undoubtedly important but we shouldn’t forget about our kitchens, bathrooms and hallways, which can also use a quick makeover. One great way to do it is with the use of this fashionable pattern. Terazzo was normally used for flooring or kitchen countertops. Nevertheless, thanks to the great variety of our wall decorations, you can now use these designs in many different ways.
Which decade is terrazzo associated with? The most characteristic features of good design are its timelessness and universality. That’s exactly why you can find the material in question in many buildings from the 70s and the 80s. This combination of cement and colourful stone chips was often used in stairs and flooring. However, the history of the material reaches much further, all the way to the ancient times. This makes terrazzo even more of a hot trend, since this year’s interior design is all about neo antique inspirations.

Designers all over the world are rediscovering the classic, harmonious beauty of ancient Greek and Roman cultures. When hearing the word “terrazzo” you may automatically think of the most common type of this material, which is dark in colour and used mostly for flooring. As you’ll soon see, there are many more options.
We’ve already mentioned that terrazzo is a mixture of cement and stone chips. Depending on the size and colour of these chips, you can end up with completely different designs. The great variety of lastriko patterns gives you a lot of decorative opportunities. Some designs look better in a small, cosy room, while others work wonders in spacious interiors. For instance, if you’re decorating a tiny, dark attic room that doesn’t get much daylight, we recommend lighter terrazzo patterns. The dark grey variants will in turn look absolutely amazing in more spacious interiors filled with colourful furniture. Another important factor is the size of the stone chips that are so characteristic for terrazzo décor. If they’re small, they can serve as a subtle decorative accent. Bigger ones can be used as expressive, dominating element of the décor.
