What else can be made from cement, sand and water? Or 4 bold concrete designs for your home

Designers' ideas for using seemingly standard materials never cease to amaze. One of these trends that can be safely attributed to the category of special is the use of good old concrete.

Good afternoon dear friends!

If you have a conservative mindset, you may have raised your eyebrows with skepticism and decided not to read the article further. However, I hasten to assure you that by introducing original concrete elements into your interior, you will invariably give it a unique charm, decorative touch, brutality and even comfort. And what it will be is up to you! Fortunately, there are a lot of options. And in order to make it easier for you to understand how to fit concrete into your interior, I prepared 4 design solutions.

For those who are wary of too abrupt, "deep" changes in the interior, I recommend taking a closer look at small objects made of concrete that you can make with your own hands. For example: a vase, flower pot, lamp, candlestick or pen holder.

1.Table top

. An element that can be found not only in the kitchen, in the living room, but even in the bedroom! And all thanks to the fact that the smooth, moisture-resistant, shock-resistant and textured surface is able to add functionality and visual interest to almost any space.

In addition, it is easy to decorate and can be decorated, for example, with coins, pieces of colored glass, fingerprints or prints of openwork fabric.

2.Bath or sink. Concrete makes it possible to create a bathtub for almost any taste and color. It can be a slightly recessed spa-style bathtub, or it can be round, tall, which no one else will have. The only thing that the bathroom as a whole looks complete and moderately balanced, try use a plain textured coating for the walls, while for the floor - large tiles in the style terrazzo.

Concrete sinks are a stylish and temperamental interior element that will not leave anyone indifferent. You just need to take care of the base by making a metal cabinet. And then such a duet will allow you not only to reveal the beauty of concrete, but also to bring a modern industrial touch to the interior of your bathroom.

3.Fireplace or kitchen set. A more daring step of integrating concrete into your interior is the creation of a full-fledged structure from it. Indeed, from this simple, inexpensive and malleable material, you can make your wildest dreams come true: for example, build a chic safe fireplace composition right in the middle of the living room or make a full-fledged kitchen set and etc.

It is advisable only to add a few wooden touches (shelves, doors, decorative elements), this will allow you to soften the appearance of the room as a whole.

4.Walls, floor and ceiling. For those who want to create a truly unique style and special atmosphere in their home, I can recommend using a full-fledged concrete finish one or more at the same time surfaces in the room. For example, make a concrete floor. It is unpretentious to maintain and extremely durable (however, you should think about additional insulation of such a coating). Or decorate the walls with concrete. Against the background of them your favorite paintings, photographs, posters and other decorative accessories will sparkle with completely new colors!

But keep in mind that when choosing such a finishing method, you should listen to yourself! Since concrete elements and interior details can bring positive emotions only if you can catch the mood of this material and feel its style. If concrete initially seems dull and sloppy to you, then it is better to think about other options.
