Looking for an alternative to marble? Terrazzo home decor is where it’s at right now, and I have the best pieces to show you in today’s post. Have your credit card at the ready!
It took me a long time to get on board the terrazzo train, I won’t lie. My long-running obsession with marble deemed terrazzo an unnecessary inclusion in the design landscape. But then I saw some terrazzo floor tiles on The Block, and a really small section of my knee got weak. Though I dare not admit it.
Then, terrazzo side tables made their presence known on a few of the supplier websites I source furniture from. My heart fluttered a little. And then I noticed terrazzo plant pots on my Instagram feed and the obsession hit me like a tonne of bricks. It’s now in absolute overdrive and I can’t get enough of this glorious material.
So I thought, why not show you some stunning terrazzo home decor finds from my fave brands? There are so many stores selling the stuff at the moment and I reckon now is the time to jump on the trend. From side tables to wallpaper, lamp bases to soap dispensers, there really isn’t a pocket of your home you can’t pop some terrazzo in.

If you travelled to Brisbane, I would be that client who let you go wild with Terrazzo. I have problems going overboard with it and not knowing when to stop! I still remember the Terrazzo entry foyer that we had in one of our houses when I was quite young and it just seemed so grand – and so the love was borne…
Omg. I’m tempted to make the trip!
I’m with you about it being a slow burn. I associated terrazzo with shopping centre floors for a long time. Then I fell for a pink terrazzo tray, which broke the terrazzo drought in our house, and I’ve gradually worked up to larger items (terrazzo-topped coffee table going in next month – yay!). Still feel it’s one of those finishes that’s best used in moderation, and tastefully selected to avoid the ‘public bathroom floor’ look. Love the visual texture it brings when done well.
I’m the same! Terrazzo can feel or be perceived as a “dated” Italian tile but the modernised pieces I have been seeing around is making me a convert!! I saw this two weeks ago in person and I love it!! https://www.trithouse.com.au/sale/sale-dining-room/astra-dining-table
Oooh nice choice!
