Home inspiration: A guide to polished concrete floors

A light grey, this concrete flooring is brought to life with white walls and chairs. This helps to reflect the lighter particles in the floor and bounce the natural light around.

Dark and earthy flooring, this home uses white walls and timber furnishings to add warmth and light.

The slate grey concrete flooring blends in beautifully with the grey sofa. Touches of black and toffee-coloured timber add warmth and depth to the space.

Simple but functional this room exudes elegance. The large windows help brighten the space and prevent the floor from feeling heavy.

Proving that concrete doesn’t need to be restricted to the living room, this bathroom is reminescent of hotel luxury. Slate grey coloured finishes, such as the bath and sink, ground the space while the touches of green inject colour and personality.

Here, the warm timber-coloured walls, ceiling and table add warmth. The white and black furniture tie in with the flecks of charcoal and white in the floor.
