The Trendy Terrazzo *

Recently, isn't it true that all the fashionable places are using this pattern in their spaces...???

I’m sure many of you can relate!

Floors and walls.

Counters and tables too.

In cafes and studios, the trendy spots are almost 100% using it... It might be an exaggeration, but it's incorporated everywhere, and it really is stylish ♡

What is Terrazzo????

These patterns are called terrazzo patterns, but what exactly is "terrazzo" to begin with???

<What is Terrazzo>

Terrazzo, broadly speaking, refers to artificial marble.

According to Wikipedia, it is described as "a semi-artificial material made by grinding natural marble and other stones and binding them with cement or resin.”

(It sounds a bit unappealing, somewhat like processed meat...?)

"Terrazzo" is an Italian word.

The spelling is "terrazzo," and it can also be referred to as "terraz."

Since it is made by crushing and binding stones that include marble, the look changes dramatically depending on the colors of the stones used.

(What you often see is this, a color scheme of orange and green with a bit of pink mixed in, right?)

Increasing in Weddings ♡

Terrazzo was originally just one type of material for walls and floors in architectural and interior designs, but because of its stylishness, it has started to be treated as a "pattern."

(Like how marble has become a marble pattern)

In foreign countries, there are numerous styling ideas coordinating wedding items with terrazzo patterns ♡

By the way!!!

The "terrazzo patterns" that are not made of synthetic marble itself seem to be reproduced by being drawn or by applying wall stickers like this.

Stylish and trendy things like this are great to adopt right away, but if you get tired of them or if they fade away, you can easily return to the original, so it’s really convenient.

The more you look at it, the more "terrazzo" patterns start to appear adorably ♡

Please try incorporating them into your home and the design of wedding items ♡
