Concrete Trends to Complement Your Polished Concrete Floors
Polished concrete floors in the kitchen look amazing, and they’re practical too. They’re fast becoming the floor of choice for many homeowners due to numerous benefits.
If you’re revamping your existing kitchen or building a new home, polished concrete floors in the kitchen are a fantastic option. They are the ultimate in stylish and functional flooring, plus their aesthetic appeal makes them a favourite amongst homeowners.
Polished concrete looks like high-end natural stone. It’s unbeatable when it comes to style and practicality because it looks fantastic and is easy to maintain. We’ll delve into some of the kitchen trends that are making polished concrete the star of the show.
The Streamlined Look
Did you think polished concrete could only be used for flooring? Think again. Many contemporary kitchens have a polished concrete floor that integrates seamlessly with the kitchen countertop. Seen here, the floor and countertop comprise of the same polished concrete. Perfect for those who prefer a streamlined look, having the same floor and benchtop emphases that no-clutter look.
Everything Concrete
Going even further than just the floor and countertop, elements of the kitchen are also made of the same material. That means the walls or partitions between cabinets, oven, stovetop, fridge and other built-in appliances are all polished concrete.
The Most Versatile Surface
The beauty of polished concrete lies in the fact that it can be integrated into any style or theme. Whether you prefer a contemporary, rustic or industrial look, polished concrete just works. It’s up to you how much aggregate (stones in the concrete) you want exposed, leaving it with whatever ‘pattern’ shows up. You decide on the type of finish – glossy or satin. Plus, with a few extra steps in the process, it can be just about any colour you want, perfectly fitting with your home’s colour palette.
The Low Maintenance Choice
Furthermore, it’s robust and easy to clean, so it can handle virtually anything you throw at it. It’s also VOC-free, unlike other synthetic flooring like vinyl and hardwood. As a floor with no allergens and slip-resistance qualities, it’s safe for the entire family and pets.
