The Obvious Choice for Living Room Flooring
We all know that concrete flooring is the obvious choice for living rooms. It is durable, long-lasting, inexpensive to maintain and temperature resistant. However, being durable and sturdy is not the only reason to choose polished concrete flooring over other options such as tiles or Italian marble. When working with primary colours and texture combinations, polished concrete flooring can bring marvellous charm to your living room. Whatever your preferred design style – rustic, industrial or modern- polished concrete flooring matches every style.
Ideas for Your Concrete Floors Living Room
Exposed brick can be further highlighted with a simple, polished grey concrete floor. Such a combination brings out sophistication and adds texture to the whole look. Emerald coloured walls in a living room with greyish polished concrete flooring adds a pop of colour. Adding this to the space can create a stunning contrast between the walls and the concrete flooring. Another idea to consider is pairing a dark polished concrete floor with a very light, yet bright shade for the walls as well as light accents. Fireplaces in white or beige in such living rooms looks mesmerising and can be further lifted by adding light coloured furniture and other accents.
Polished concrete flooring in living rooms also enhance wooden accents. The colour of wood is a natural partner of greyish polished concrete. Wooden beams on the ceiling are a fantastic way to incorporate wood accents that look great with concrete flooring.
Adding a rug, especially a fluffy one, can really bring the space together. It creates that feeling of warmth that we all look for. In fact, a white or cream rug will not only provide a contrast with the grey but will simultaneously complement the sheen of the polished concrete floor. You could even choose a pastel-coloured rug and warm leather upholstered furniture to contrast the polished concrete floor in your living room completely.
Exposed aggregate polished concrete flooring can be your go-to option for a more decorative or expressive look for your living room. In looks & finish, it will easily surpass traditional terrazzo flooring. Such concrete floors in living rooms will also easily hide signs of scratches or stains, which you never want to get noticed in your living room floor.
