Hot Trend: Concrete Reinvented
From countertops to floors, concrete has become one of the hottest trends in home improvement and interior design.
Many homeowners think concrete is a design element that only complements the urban, modern loft, but think again. Adapatable to virtually any style, concrete is popping up in traditional designs and remodels, as well.
For the first time in a long time, homeowners are saying bye-bye to granite. In fact, concrete countertops are bypassing the perennial favorite when it comes to new homes and remodeling projects. Extremely durable and easy to maintain, concrete counters are showing up in kitchens and bathrooms across the country.
But, it doesn't stop there. Designers are tearing up carpeting to reveal the concrete floors underneath—and they are leaving them exposed. Painting, staining, even faux techniques are being employed to add color and texture to concrete floors. The result? Let's just say you won't be hiding it under a rug anytime soon.
