Materia Soft M in t One of my favourite tiles to use when designing with colour is the Materia Soft Mint Gloss 100x300. Incorporating this tile into a bathroom is such an easy and subtle way to introduce colour for anyone who wants a calm feeling and isn’t 100% sold on bold colours. A bathroom is a place to relax and unwind, and I feel like this green paired with soft neutral tones is a great way to incorporate greenery and natural elements to make a room feel homely.

Pandora Taco Da r k I have always gravitated towards earthy and warm colours, regardless of trends. The Pandora Taco Dark 200 x 200mm tile is a favourite of mine - the beautiful variation in colour is created by a mixed surface fi nish with a matt/gloss contrast and slight metallic sheen. The hand-sketched monochromatic motifs illustrate an eclectic patchwork of tribal, botanic & geometric patterns and sit perfectly with Pietra Lavica Pumice Matt as the fl oor tile.

Perfect for feature walls and counter fronts in commercial settings, Colosseum Ming Green Mosaic brings a sophisticated pop of colour with a fresh and smooth feel. This mosaic can be used in so many styles of houses, but my personal favourite is the Hamptons-style paired with Canyon Stone Glacier.

elegante terrazzo

Authentic Italian terrazzo with cool contemporary appeal.

when National Tiles sought the perfect source for our Elegante Terrazzo collection, we naturally turned to Italy. We found a perfect partner in Mattoli: a third-generation, family-owned artisanal producer of cement-based surfaces that has been developing its deep technical expertise since 1923.

Available 11 kaleidoscopic colour ways that come to life under lights, Elegante Terrazzo’s patterning of random fl ecks and fragments will readily inject a burst of energy into fl oors and walls.

Hailing from the town of Jesi, in the province of Ancona, founder Manlio Mattoli initially specialised in the production of urban furniture such as benches, and ornamental fountains. When he was joined by his brother, Antonio, and his eldest son, Guiseppe, in the 1960s, the company invested in state-of-the-art machinery to add beautiful concrete fl oors to the product range. Today, with Guiseppe’s three sons - Manlio, Massimiliano and Marta - now taking key roles, Mattoli specialises in producing terrazzo, in numerous shades, styles, and patterns. This includes our fabulous Elegante collection. Due to the porosity of real terrazzo, we strongly recommend following our cleaning, sealing and maintenance guidelines to ensure it lasts a life time. These terrazzo tiles are the real deal, being made from a mixture of marble chips, marble powder, and cement. They have the sustainable advantage of using raw materials that are a by-product of stone processing. Because the surfaces feature natural stone inclusions, there is an appealing variation in tile colour and chip size and colour; resulting in an organic and authentic terrazzo aesthetic.

Our range of colours celebrate that design diversity that can be achieved with this centuries-loved surface. Stand out examples include the stunning chocolate chip icecream look of Uluru; the elegant mossy green specks of Verde; or the soft greyscale shades of Smoke. The use of natural marble chips from various quarries results in subtle colour variation that adds greatly to the terrazzo tiles’ allure. This surface variety is compounded by the effects of honing and the use of different sized chips. Elegante Terrazzo comes in a highly versatile 400x400x18mm format. Elegante Terrazzo Ver de
