With the rise of industrial and rustic design, concrete is fast becoming a popular material, for home furnishing and interiors. Polished concrete floors and statement concrete walls are combined with wood, marble, metal and texturized patterns to create highly contemporary architectural solutions.

Designers and brands are exploring different versions of concrete by recreating the soft sensation of a skimmed concrete surface, by creating a three-dimensional look of concrete cast in formwork and also by reproducing the distinctive appeal of vintage reinforced concrete with rusted iron rebars.

Due to its versatility and strength, concrete is increasingly becoming the go-to material for bathrooms. New print and staining techniques are turning concrete into blank canvas that allow designers to get even more creative.
