TERRAZZO

Terrazzo is less classic than marble but more playful than concrete. One of the breakthrough materials of 2017, terrazzo consists of granite, marble, quartz and glass chips set in concrete. This combination makes for a striking chipped pattern. Traditionally used as flooring, terrazzo is now being made into homeware including bowls, coasters, plant pots, chopping boards and picture frames. Even mugs, phone cases and soft furnishings such as bedlinen are getting the terrazzo treatment. If this playful pattern appeals to you, there are plenty of easy ways to incorporate the texture into your home. 1 Terri coaster, $49.95, and 2 Terri bowl, $39.95, both from Country Road. 3 Terrazzo planter, $6, and 4 Terrazzo board, $12, both from Kmart.
