Terrazzo is back, and how! This playful, speckled flooring style is now also available in practical and stylish PVC variants. So, it's ideal if you're a fan of interiors with character but also appreciate comfort and ease of maintenance. But how can you combine a terrazzo floor without it becoming too busy? In this blog, you'll get fresh combination tips, styling ideas, and a few terrazzo top picks from Solza's range.
Why terrazzo?
Terrazzo was once mainly seen in old school buildings and Italian stairwells. But now it's a hip statement in modern interiors. By mixing colours and aggregates, a terrazzo floor immediately adds a playful effect to your space. At the same time, it also exudes a classic feel. The perfect mix for those who appreciate both character and style.
1. Keep the base calm
A terrazzo floor is an eye-catcher in itself. So, let it speak by keeping the rest of your interior calmer. Think of soft neutral wall colours, sleek furniture, and natural materials like wood or linen. This creates a nice balance.
A good example is the Floorify Large Tile Click PVC Piccolo F032. This floor has a subtle terrazzo print in soft grey tones. Perfect if you want the look but don't feel like you're living on confetti.
2. Choose one accent colour from your floor
A clever styling tip: pick one colour from your terrazzo floor and bring it back into your accessories. Think of cushions, vases, or wall art. This connects everything without it becoming too garish.
The Quick-Step Blush SGTC20307 Terrazzo Multi Colour is perfect for this. This floor contains various warm and cool tones, so you can play with colours like terracotta, powder pink, or even mustard yellow.
3. Combine terrazzo with modern shapes
A terrazzo floor feels retro, but that doesn't mean you're stuck with vintage furniture. Modern, minimalist shapes actually go well with it. Think of rounded sofas, oval dining tables, or sleek wall units. This creates a fresh mix of old and new.
The Moduleo LayRed Bolzano 46112 Click PVC is a terrazzo floor with a calm base and fine, refined aggregate. Combine it with modern design classics, and you instantly have a Pinterest-worthy picture.
4. Dare to mix with materials
Terrazzo surprisingly complements various textures. Think of velvet for extra luxury, or raw materials like concrete or black steel for a tough edge. Even rattan or bamboo fit well if you're going for a playful, eclectic atmosphere.
For example, try combining a terrazzo floor with a rattan armchair, a wool rug, or a metal cabinet. This will give your interior extra depth.
5. Think beyond the living room
Terrazzo PVC floors are ideal for damp areas. So why limit them to the living room? Consider a statement floor in your toilet, hallway, or kitchen. With terrazzo, you give even the smallest space character.
In summary: terrazzo is your creative playground
Combining a terrazzo floor primarily requires daring and balance. Keep your base calm, choose one accent colour, dare to mix, and most importantly, enjoy the creative process. With terrazzo, you lay a floor that immediately exudes atmosphere and personality, and with Solza's PVC variants, you also do so in a low-maintenance way.
