For our latest lookbook, we’ve gathered eight homes with terrazzo bathrooms, including one with a turquoise sink and an open-plan combined bathroom and bedroom with a terrazzo shower cubicle.
Terrazzo, which can be made from materials including marble, quartz, granite and glass, can sometimes look a bit childlike or playful. In these eight projects, however, colours were kept subtle and neutral to create a more grown-up take on terrazzo.
Ranging from South Korea to Switzerland, here are eight interiors with elegant terrazzo bathrooms.
This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring Scandinavian summer houses, minimalist wooden bedrooms and sculptural Akari lamps.

Located on South Korea‘s eastern peninsula, Seosang House has a striking exterior clad in pink concrete tiles.
Inside, the clever material use continued in the bathroom, where wooden panelling contrasts with dark-grey terrazzo flooring, which was also used to create the pared-back, yet luxurious shower cubicle.
