A few years ago, kitchens with terrazzo countertops were everywhere — and then one day, almost as quickly as they'd arrived, they disappeared again. Yes, certainly they can be a bold look, and they may have been a bit overdone at the time, but it's hard to ignore the aesthetic appeal of this idea. And, it appears, a subtler take on terrazzo surfaces are making a comeback. They add personality and playfulness, but are they practical? Let's discuss.
“Terrazzo has no doubt been gaining steady momentum in countertop trends over the last year," says Grazzie Wilson, head of creative at Ca'Pietra, a UK-based luxury stone and tile company. Terrazzo offers an enduring style, with a classical element that will never really fall out of fashion. "With many different color combinations on offer, homeowners can still be playful with their tile choice, along with adding texture and pattern," Grazzie adds.
