What I especially love about this roundup is that these terrazzo bookends take on classic shapes: they don’t let the design interrupt the pattern and instead, they’re working together in harmony. Yes, even in spaces where it could clash.įind below some of the most bold and delightful terrazzo bookends. It’s fun and unexpected, and it looks good just about anywhere. Give me the fun background colors, be them light or dark, paired with flecks of color throughout. That terrazzo has ’80s and early ’90s flair - and it has a lovely throwback for fans of midcentury design - is only helping its rise in popularity. Vogue notes that the trend for terrazzo began to emerge in 2018, as searches for the design increased on Pinterest, and it’s probably safe to say we’re reaching peak terrazzo, especially as more and more time is being spent in the home, where we’re eager for fun (and in some cases, design that looks expensive!). The material, traditionally expensive to produce and primarily relegated to the floor beneath our feet, has moved to becoming a statement for jewelry, for material goods, for wallpaper, and more. That terrazzo is back in a big way makes my heart sing. I don’t mind clashing polka dots with stripes or florals when it comes to the style of my house - I want this to be a place I feel inspired and alive, and for me, that’s in style running counter to minimalism. I’m a huge fan of color and pattern, and I find the neutral tones to become monotonous and a little sleepy for my tastes. After years and years of minimalism taking center stage as a preferable design aesthetic, I’m so grateful to see maximalism popping back onto the scene.
