Terrazzo tiles glued onto MDF panels to create matching bedside tables.
The project
After my last project, I had leftover Duratile Terrazzo Bianco Floor Tiles and was in desperate need of some side tables for my room, so voila!
Using MDF board, Duratile 30 x 60cm Porcelain Tiles, Selleys Liquid Nails, Durabed Grout and a finishing sealer, I created these two side tables for a total cost of $66.
I managed to grab a Tile Cutter and actually cut the tops as I couldn’t find a 30 x 30cm to match.

The MDF boards I had cut to 60 x 29.5mm. The way I placed them together into a box shape meant that each side would have a bit of an extension from the next board. So, I placed each tile directly centred which meant that there would be a larger opening for grout. Next time I would aim to use a thinner MDF, as the tiles themselves make/hold the shape.
The bottoms are MDF 30 x 30cm, so it created a “floating” look. I didn’t want to place a tile on the bottom in case it cracked under pressure over time. Lots of learning experiences through this project.
