HOW TO CREATE A TERRAZZO PRINT ON ALMOST ANYTHING

Marble is out and terrazzo is in, but the hottest interior design trend this year doesn’t need to be expensive.

 

With Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint you can incorporate the trend into your home on a shoestring budget.

 

We upcycled a piece of MDF with Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint to create a chic, terrazzo table top which fit pefectly with the room’s colour scheme and size.

  • Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint
  • Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Lacquer (spray)
  • Homebase Clever Cube
  • MDF sheet (cut to size)
  • Cutting mat
  • Sticky back plastic
  • Stanley knife
  • Drill and screws
  • Rust-Oleum Artist Brushes
  • Roller and tray

Steps

  1. Take your chosen shade of Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint for the base (we used Chalk White) and stir thoroughly before use.

    Paint the top, sides and front of the MDF sheet with a roller and leave this to dry. Chalky Finish Furniture Paint is perfect for MDF as there’s no need to prime. You may require a second coat.

  2. To create your stencil, place the sticky back plastic on the cutting mat and begin to cut out a terrazzo design with a stanley knife. If needed, print out a picture of terrazzo and used this as a guide.

  3. Stick your stencil to the MDF, ensuring it’s secure. Take your remaining Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint shades and paint in your design.

    We chose Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint in Ink Blue, Belgrave and Duck Egg.

  4. Personalise the Clever Cube to match your project. We painted the top two sections of the cube (and the wall brackets) with Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint in Belgrave.

    We also attached hooks for additional compact organisation!
