How to use concrete in interior design

Are you thinking of adding a little spice and modernity to your interiors? Concrete could be the answer. 

Usually we think of it as a structural, practical material. But it actually also has great potential as a creative and decorative feature for interior design projects. 

So, let’s explore how to use concrete in interior design to have the maximum impact.

5 Interior Concrete Design Ideas

Industrial-style walls and ceilings

The trend for industrial-style interiors is one that has grown a lot in modern years. Particularly popular with offices, it’s also found its way into homes, too. Modern, sleek and minimalist, it ticks a lot of boxes for the contemporary homeowner and when coupled with statement lighting, bold artwork or complementary furnishings, exposed concrete can really come into its own. Walls and ceilings lend themselves particularly well to concrete. 

Contemporary flooring 

At first, this material choice was popular in commercial settings but is now gaining traction with residential properties, too. A concrete screed floor not only rewards you with the up-to-date industrial style, but it’s also very easy to keep clean. Thanks to its high strength and durability, it won’t crack or degrade easily, making it a long-lived and cost-effective choice for any home. Here at Sussex Ready Mix Concrete, we’re experts at mixing and laying screed concrete floors to high standards, guaranteeing a smooth and high-quality finish. 

Unique concrete furniture

We know what you’re thinking – concrete furniture doesn’t sound that comfy. But when coupled with soft furnishings, it can transform it into a stylish yet cosy place to unwind. From concrete chairs and sofas to concrete lighting and tables, there’s a lot you can do with this adaptable material – and it also acts as a superb blank canvas, giving you plenty of freedom to dress it up and personalise it as you wish. 

Modern kitchen countertops 

Hygiene is the number one priority for any kitchen, and thanks to its easy-wipe surface, concrete is certainly a viable option. It also gives your kitchen a clean, polished appearance that can be easily accessorised with bold taps, utensils and other equipment to tie the whole interior design together into a cohesive modern piece. 

A new twist on the kitchen sink 

Kitchens are probably one of the easiest parts of the home to modernise through the use of material, and a place where concrete can be left bare and still look special. Whether you choose to colour the concrete or leave it at its natural grey, either way it will make for a striking appearance. Shape will also contribute to the look and feel of the sink, and there are many options available, including curved, square or even a longer trough-like style.
