Terrazzo

These tiles are inspired by the look of traditional terrazzo but are crafted from durable porcelain rather than crushed natural stone set in a concrete bed. This means you get all of the characterful speckled, multi-toned appearance that terrazzo is loved for, with the added benefits of consistent sizing, greater durability, and easier maintenance compared to authentic stone terrazzo.

Yes – the porcelain construction makes these Terrazzo tiles well suited to bathroom walls, including areas around baths and basins. Porcelain is naturally low in porosity, meaning it resists moisture effectively, though you should still ensure the wall substrate is correctly prepared and any wet zones are waterproofed before tiling.

The speckled, multi-chip pattern of terrazzo tiles contains several tones at once, which makes them surprisingly versatile when it comes to pairing with other materials. Picking out one of the accent colours from within the tile and using it in complementary accessories, grout, or adjoining plain tiles is a straightforward way to create a cohesive interior design scheme.

Terrazzo has enjoyed a strong revival in recent years as a key interior design trend, appearing in everything from high-end hotels to residential bathrooms and kitchens. However, because the style has roots going back centuries, it also has genuine staying power – making these tiles a sound investment for a look that feels contemporary now but will not feel dated in a few years.

Because the tiles already feature a complex, multi-toned speckled surface, a neutral grout in a shade that sits within the tile’s own colour palette tends to work best, as it keeps the visual flow clean and uninterrupted. If you want the individual tile shapes to be more pronounced, choosing a slightly contrasting grout colour can add an additional layer of graphic interest to the finished wall.
