Spruce Up Your Home with Decorative Concrete

As a homeowner, you might want to give your place a makeover. Your style and preferences may have changed and you might want your home to reflect those changes. If you’re looking into options for sprucing up your home, consider decorative concrete.

Decorative concrete can add some flair to your home. There certainly are many more options than the plain old grey slab we’re all used to. Decorative concrete becomes a material for aesthetic enhancement, usually after being mixed with composite materials to appear fresher and more stylish. Whether you’re planning to renovate your patio, garden or other areas in your home, you can achieve the look you want with decorative concrete.

Colours

Use decorative concrete to add a dash of colour to your home, or simply to enhance how it looks. Pick colours that complement each other well. Unless you’re planning a complete remodel, make sure the colours also blend nicely with the existing architectural elements of the house. If you’re refurbishing the patio or driveway, it’s best to choose subtle earth tones that go well with the natural surroundings.

Stamp design

Incorporating a stamp design concrete will keep your concrete surfaces from looking dull or plain. Popular stamped concrete patterns include brick, cobblestone and slate. Depending on your house’s architecture, some patterns are more suited than others. For instance, sleek and seamless textures work best for modern styles, whilst brick and cobblestone looks work best for traditional styles.

Exposed aggregate

Another way to make concrete more visually appealing is by using exposed aggregate. To achieve this look, the flat top layer of the concrete is stripped off to display the uneven aggregates covered inside. The unpolished look gives it a unique texture that can be combined with other colours.
