Decorative Concrete Options for Your Next Project

Say goodbye to the days of bland and dull concrete. Now, you can put colour and style into your home with decorative concrete!

Decorative concrete has many applications, from concrete floorings and concrete patios to entryways and countertops. With an array of colours, textures and patterns, there’s no doubt that you will be able to find something to suit your specific aesthetic.

To get you started with choosing the right concrete mix, here are some ideas to consider when incorporating decorative concrete into your project.

Exposed aggregate

For a durable, slip-resistant concrete solution that also looks fantastic, don’t look past exposed aggregate. The decorative process of exposing aggregate involves stripping the outer “skin” of a cement paste to reveal the decorative coarse aggregate. Not only is this effect beautiful, but it will also last a long time. Exposed aggregate is resistant to heavy traffic and requires minimum maintenance. Some of the popular natural stones used in aggregates are quartz, basalt and granite because of their rich and vivid colours.

Coloured concrete

Coloured concrete offers you plenty of choices and options to achieve a satisfying look. You can pick from a broad colour palette, ranging from warm earthy hues to more vibrant tones. Coloured concrete can also be customised to mimic the look of brick stones, tiles or other materials that will blend perfectly with the style you’re going for.

Stamped concrete

For a dynamic look that enhances your outdoor space, stamped concrete is a great choice. With stamped concrete, the design options are virtually limitless. Varying colours and patterns can bring a high-end vibe to any space. And, you won’t have to worry about rigorous maintenance because concrete is naturally durable and long lasting. The most popular stamped concrete designs include cobblestone and wooden patterns.

Stained concrete

Staining concrete allows it to get a luxurious translucent effect that is sure to add to your home’s appeal. Aside from walkways, floors and patios, stained concrete can also be used on kitchen countertops and vertical surfaces such as walls. Rather than completely covering up the surface, staining concrete revitalises and enhances the design.
