A raw look and ultimate comfort – a concrete-look bathroom
There are different ways to create a concrete look in the bathroom. The first point to consider is the choice of material, as you don’t actually need real concrete. Exposed concrete, cement, waxed concrete, concrete tiles, conventional tiles with a concrete pattern, floor coatings or render... these are all ways of creating a concrete look. Depending on the material, the spatula method can be the best way to achieve a flawless surface. In this case, you simply apply and spread the material using a spatula. Textured looks are possible too.
Grout-free bathrooms with textured surfaces
A grout-free design offers many advantages in the bathroom. It creates a clean, sleek look that makes your colour accents really stand out. An appropriate sealant on the walls and floor will make a concrete bathroom waterproof. The absence of grout makes it more difficult for mould to form. You can also use special techniques to create a rough, textured surface that will make a real statement.
Contrasts for a modern concrete style and timeless elegance
Concrete paves the way for a striking bathroom style. For bold contrasts, combine concrete on floors and walls with brilliant white bathroom ceramics. Straight lines, chrome taps and dark concrete create a timelessly elegant look. Combine them with some simple decorative features and a few plants to create a very eye-catching effect.
A grey colour scheme for a harmonious atmosphere
The light and dark greys of concrete give you plenty of scope when it comes to choosing your colours. You can combine grey with other neutrals such as white or black for a monochrome look. Or use turquoise or green to add a vibrant touch. In this case, grey provides the ideal base colour that remains discreetly in the background.
