This material could be used in a variety of building aspects, from wall, floor, to furniture. However, most people think that concrete could make the room looks too cold. In fact, this problem could be overcome by doing the a few simple ways to enhance the look of your concrete, such as follows:

  1. Paint Coating for a More Colorful Concrete Result

The first and easiest way that you could do to enhance the look of concrete is by adding a layer of paint on top of its surface. When it comes to choosing concrete paint color, you could adjust the color to your building’s overall concept. If you want to enhance the look of your concrete floor, you could put a layer of paint with ceramic or marble pattern. You could then add a layer of epoxy coating to make your concrete floor looks shinier. Other than that, you could add creative touch to the concrete by decorating it with patterns or paintings. Painting on a concrete surface could be a great accent for your room.

  1. Texture for A Unique Concrete Touch

If you feel like colored paint still look too plain or if you want to preserve the natural concrete color, you could add some texture to the concrete. Textures could make concrete surface look more unique, while also adding a beautiful visual effect. In order to add texture to your concrete, you could use from a variety of techniques, from kamprot technique, scratching technique, to using everyday appliances such as cloth and brush. To achieve the perfect textured concrete look, place a light directed at the surface. This will accentuate the texture of your concrete surface.

  1. Adding Decoration to Plain Concrete Surface

Another idea that you could do to enhance the look of your concrete wall without having to cover the natural concrete look is by adding some decorations on top of the concrete’s surface. This method is suitable if you want to preserve the natural concrete’s color and texture while still adding a personal touch to its look. For concrete walls, you could enhance its look by adding some decorations, such as hanging photo frames, hanging shelves, or other hanging decorations.

Beside the three ways mentioned above, you could also adjust the look of concrete according to your desired look and building’s concept. For example, if you are using concrete wall and you want to add some drawings, paintings, or pattern, you could decorate it by adding a layer of wallpaper on top.
