Bathrooms with terrazzo – photos and ideas

What is terrazzo and where does it fit?

Terrazzo originated as a floor made from a mixture of cement and stone chips, mainly marble, which was ground smooth after hardening. Today, it is most commonly selected for bathrooms as gres floor tiles and wall tiles with a terrazzo pattern – the appearance remains, but the installation and maintenance are the same as with standard tiles.

• Small stones: create a calm effect and are suitable for larger areas or smaller bathrooms.
• Large chips: a bold pattern that belongs on the floor or one wall – not throughout the entire bathroom.
• Colour: light terrazzo with coloured stones adds freshness to the bathroom, while dark looks elegant.
• Combinations: a monochromatic wall tile in the shade of one of the stones, white sanitary ware, and matte accessories.

With terrazzo, the rule is: pattern once, calm everywhere else. If terrazzo is on the floor, keep the walls monochromatic and the furniture simple. If you place it on the wall behind the sink, the floor should be calm. You can easily choose the colour of other surfaces based on one of the stones in the pattern. Terrazzo is also suitable for the WC, where you can afford a bolder pattern. We discuss it in detail in the article Terrazzo in the bathroom, and you can find more patterned tiles in the style of patterns and decors.
