Read on to find out some design ideas for concrete in home decor.

Concrete Home Decor

Concrete actually has a lot of variety when it comes to home design, with a lot of classic home elements able to be made out of concrete instead. The benefits of concrete are that it is relatively inexpensive compared to other materials and is highly durable. Here are a few ideas:

Flooring

A concrete floor is a great neutral option for a home, requiring little maintenance to look fresh and new. Because of its neutrality, any type of furniture will look great on it. Make an impression with a bold carpet pattern to stand out against the grey. Concrete also gets very cold in winter, so carpets and rugs are a great choice to add an element of warmth. Underfloor heating can be installed which will help, but this will lead to higher electricity bills.

Bathroom

Making a sink out of concrete is a great choice, with its strength and light colour making any space look more elegant. They’re easy to clean in case of any soap, toothpaste or skin product stains dropped onto them. A concrete bathtub is sure to be a highlight of any home, adding luxury and innovative design

Shelving

Concrete shelves are getting very popular, due to their robust nature and ability to hold even the heaviest of possessions. Their neutral colour makes them suitable for any space and allows any colour or design to be put on them without crashing.

Statement Wall

A concrete wall makes a daring choice for any room, attracting all eyes to the statement wall. It can be blank or adorned with a large painting to create a striking focal point for the room.

Counter Tops

Contrast the colour of your appliance with a concrete countertop. Concrete is a great material to prepare food on, offering effortless cleanup and material that doesn’t stain easily.
