From polished concrete floors to tiles, sinks and everything in-between, concrete is a tactile and contemporary material that works within any home. As an added bonus – it’s also incredibly robust. Searches for concrete home items are on the rise according to Pinterest, and these are the top trends that are taking over.
Concrete flooring
Concrete flooring is hard-wearing, chic and adapts to many interior styles, and can be a sustainable material to use in housing. Concrete flooring is easy to care for, requiring no more than a mop with soapy water.
Concrete sinks
Concrete countertops and sinks are not only durable and easy to care for, but they’re a unique design feature that will elevate any bathroom, kitchen or laundry.
Concrete décor
Adding the concrete trend to your home can be done on a smaller scale by decorating with accessories made from concrete, or using it in smaller-scale projects such as feature walls.
Cement tiles
Cement tiles are a sure-fire way to set your home up with industrial or minimal style. This textured tile works best on the floor, or on walls if you’re looking for a dramatic feature. Cement tiles are hard-wearing, easy to care for and are available in a wide range of pattern and styles.
