A rough finish has ceased to be a distinctive feature of solely brutalism and is increasingly found in the interiors of various modern styles. We suggest how to enter a concrete wall in the design of the apartment, as well as create a convincing imitation of concrete.
How to create a concrete wall
To begin with, how to create a concrete wall in the interior. The first option is an authentic concrete wall with minimal finish. If for any reason "natural" concrete in the apartment is not, you will have to be content with imitation.Concrete Wall Simulation Options
- Decorative plaster. It looks spectacular, but work on creating is notice.
- Wall panels under concrete. Often are made to order, but look as much as possible and besides easily mounted.
- Tile and porcelain tiles under concrete. This is one of the last ceramic trends. True, high-quality materials are also noticeable.
- Cement mortar. It can be applied to the wall using the shape of the crate, then dedust and coat with matte varnish. The final appearance depends on the skill of workers.
Concrete Wall in different rooms
Living room
The concrete wall in the living room can look most appropriate - all the same, it is a public space, it can be a little neglected with warmth and comfort in favor of the style.
Concrete in this room can serve as an excellent basis for the design of an accent wall. It will work independently, and together with a bright decor item.

Under the example below, the designer chose an unusual solution - paint the concrete walls of the kitchen-living room. It turned out unusually and functionally: the colors allocated different areas of the room.

Kitchen
Concrete is perfectly attached at the modern kitchen, in the urban style interior, loft or minimalism. It is possible to use it for finishing a kitchen apron. Panels from lightweight concrete are great for these purposes - they are easily clean.

On the apron you can also combine two material: concrete and tiles, as in this project.

If you want to strengthen the brutal effect, the facades of furniture can also be made "concrete".

Parishion
Concrete will infrequently meet in the hallway, although if the whole apartment is made in favor of rough finishes, this option is quite appropriate. For example, here the concrete walls of the hallway smoothly flow into the kitchen.

Bedroom
It would seem that in the most intimate room of the apartment there is no place to gross concrete, but for adherents of ultra-modern solutions it is not.
Here, concrete panels can be used to decorate the wall behind the back of the bed. To dumb soften the effect, add lamps with warm light.

Bathroom
Baths, decorated under concrete, look very stylish, but still it is important to keep balance and not turn the room into a concrete box. Combine materials on different walls and surfaces. It is done here that way - plus the furniture is selected with a concrete finish.
