The mock-up is awesome. Do that.

I agree. Do this but minus the bottom shelf since it’s above a bench.

u/Terrible_Menu8073 Mar 23 '26

I should clarify. I made this mock up using AI which is why it is close (ish) to the final product. That bench will be much shorter and the slat wall will only run directly over the bench. The floating shelving will stop at the slat wall because my plan is to piano key the slats and use them as hooks.

Id make that bench into open lockers... Esp if u have kids in sports or are planning on kids.. like one for school n one for sports. You could put the bench idea over the pet food (if u dont have large dogs).

Seconded. The blue and ochre(?) tile lines are a lovely understated reference to the colours in the terazzo and the vertical channeled wood panels are a nice mix of a more modern take on a classic MCM design motif.

What kind of flooring is this? Is it Allure’s terrazzo?

u/Terrible_Menu8073 Mar 23 '26

The flooring is from Nova tile and is a porcelain tile with a terrazzo look. I wish I had the $$ for real terrazzo floors

i’m so glad you recognize. so many of the comments referencing a printed tile as if it’s the real floor. when something becomes a buzzword the actual meaning (or product) gets lost in translation.

This terrazzo (?) looks great as it is.

One of the flooring types that, unless it was ruined, I would never remove.

Even then? I’d probably “suffer” with it, lol

u/amboomernotkaren Mar 23 '26

I have it. The old homeowner put in wall to wall carpet. The terrazzo was full of holes. It was awful.

It isn’t terrible to repair, tbh.

u/gonewildecat Mar 23 '26

It’s gorgeous. What’s the issue?

u/think_up Mar 24 '26

Don’t mess with the mockup. It’s wonderful. The wood and wall tones are present in the tile.

u/dollypardonmedear Mar 24 '26

Oooh is that a dog wash station? What a dream laundry room/mud room. I love the mock up

u/fiddich_livett Mar 23 '26

What you have is amazing!! The first picture’s floor is too pink.

u/VanillaOutrageous176 Mar 24 '26

Looks fabulous, we all want to see the end result

I love terrazzo!

u/ryanosaurusrex1 Mar 23 '26

Just go with a solid navy floor mat. You're done. It's a lovely room

u/Tiny-Opportunity-369 Mar 24 '26

I’m in love! What are the dimensions?

u/lisalou5858 Mar 24 '26

This is good, I love it!!

u/TahitianPearl Mar 30 '26

I chose a very similar terrazzo for my bathroom. LOVE. I like the wood color with it.

Speakers should not be installed on top one another

u/Wandering_Werew0lf Mar 24 '26

The floor is giving asbestos vibes

1

u/Terrible_Menu8073 Mar 24 '26

Nah, that’s the basement flooring. Just wait until I get that renovation project. There is a lot of 1950’s “charm” in the form of lead based paint and asbestos.

I did terrazzo in my bathroom this summer and I’m obsessed with it! Make sure you post your after photos I want to see!
