More often than not, when the topic of terrazzo marble comes up in conversations, it is its building properties that are front and center. Its durability and strength, its low sustainability and how easy it is to maintain once installed. However, there’s an aspect of terrazzo marble that needs to be talked about more – how its steadily redefining the aesthetic.
In a time where the word aesthetic is being used as some sort of standard in design, terrazzo marble has undoubtedly made its mark. Usually, “marble” is associated with opulence and grandeur. Palazzos, cathedrals and grand ballrooms come to mind. With terrazzo marble however, because its design property is limitless, can go beyond the opulent and the grandeur. Terrazzo marble can also be used for subtle, understated installations and architectural builds.

One of the more prevalent design aesthetic these days is minimalism or minimalist architecture. It is the use of stark and often utilitarian elements in design. Terrazzo marble is perfect for the minimalist aesthetic as it can be specifically mixed with subtle colors for that clean, sharp ultra-fine finish. Moreover, terrazzo marble is perfect for both indoor and outdoor builds. Looking to build your dream Zen spot in your backyard? Or maybe you want to turn your bathroom into a minimalist spa retreat. Terrazzo marble can also be used for kitchen counters for those wanting to have a sleeker, more professional looking chef’s space. There is no limit to what can be done with this highly versatile material.
