Right now, everyone is loving terrazzo and this on-trend Speckled Pastel wall mural is no exception. We are in love with this pink and pastel blue wallpaper! Thanks to the explosive modern classic that is marble, terrazzo has been completely revived. This time, it’s back with a vengeance. Terrazzo is everywhere you look in the interior design world and you don’t even have to rip your whole kitchen or bathroom apart to enjoy this gorgeous mosaic precast effect.

Our stunning terrazzo wallpaper range is perfect for those who just want to dip their toes in and with so many pastel designs to choose from, you can nail two trends in one go. Although coming second to the likes of marble in terms of popularity, terrazzo is much more expensive due to the intense process of combining and setting different materials into one.

If you want your home to ooze luxury and class, pastel terrazzo wall murals are an affordable way to do that. Consider it a step up from marble – it’s definitely a style upgrade for those in the know.
