Terrazzo: The 70’s Trend That’s Back

Achieving a retro look is easier than ever, and you don't even need to wear bell bottoms.

Just like fashion, interior design trends have a way of resurfacing after disappearing for decades. This time around, the spotlight is on terrazzo, the vibrant blend of marble chips and concrete that was popular in the 70s. It seems that people can't get enough of it, as Pinterest saw a staggering 316% increase in saves for "terrazzo" in 2018. If you want to stay ahead of the curve, we've got some tips on how to bring a touch of that nostalgic retro charm into your home!
