[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Concrete has always been synonymous to industrial décor. The moment one says concrete, it conjures up images of massive areas that are rustic charm. However it’s only recently that people have realized that the same ‘rough-at-the-edges’ look can also add loads of elegance and beauty to a home decor.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][us_single_image image=”12887″ size=”tnail-masonry” align=”center” lightbox=”1″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Concrete at a first glance looks plain boring. It’s dull, it got a rough texture and moreover it doesn’t remind you of anything beautiful. But it’s got one thing going for itself which is, that it can actually transform into anything beautiful. All that one needs to do is a creative thought process and loads of imagination. But of course, there are do’s and don’ts with this particular material as well. For starters, the most important thing is that if you are going to go in for a concrete décor, make sure you have space and loads of it. Concrete blooms better when there’s emptiness around it. Secondly remember that certain concrete décor walls, pillars or patches are there to stay and cannot be changed at your whims and fancies. So choose wisely. If you have taken these two points in mind, we would say it’s time to proceed. It’s time to know how great concrete really is.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_single_image image=”12888″ size=”tnail-masonry” align=”center” lightbox=”1″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_single_image image=”12889″ size=”tnail-masonry” align=”center” lightbox=”1″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When you think of interior designs the first to come to mind is a concrete wall. It looks dapper and definitely different. Concrete being a natural resource, is also good for your home. Also it’s so easy to maintain and you do not have to slog hours to keep it looking great. Now you could have one particular wall as concrete or have a patch to lend your place a rustic charming look.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_single_image image=”12890″ size=”full” align=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_single_image image=”12891″ size=”full” align=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Talking about easy maintenance, concrete is fast becoming a real favorite. The major problem arises when you are building the place, but once it’s done, you are set for life.
The second merit of concrete is its texture. It’s rough, corrugated and slightly grainy. This texture adds oodles of charm and personality to any décor. You can actually create pattern on the concrete. The pattern when mixed with the texture gives a mind-blowing effect. Also remember concrete looks fabulous when it is mixed with other natural elements like wood. So while your walls could be of concrete, you could separate them with cabinets of wood.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_single_image image=”12892″ size=”full” align=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_single_image image=”12893″ size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]But there’s one problem. While the texture is a pro for this material it is also a severe con. We know how a concrete feels. Make sure to smoothen it as best as you can.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_single_image image=”12894″ size=”full” align=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_single_image image=”12895″ size=”full” align=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Concrete is a heavy material. That’s why you will see that whenever it’s kept in a room, it instantly draws attention to itself by being the focal point. So when you decide to make a particular wall, or a complete one of concrete, you have already set a focal point. Do not over clutter your room with any big pieces. Concrete itself has no color. So the best thing to do is either choose a bright paint to liven it up, or you could even hand extremely colorful canvases to add that splash of vibrancy.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_single_image image=”12896″ size=”full” align=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_single_image image=”12897″ size=”full” align=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]That’s more or less the cheat sheet of concrete décor. Other than that all you need is enough knowledge and a heart full of love.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
