In this modern villa in Wilrijk, Glansbeton installed a polished concrete floor in a natural grey shade. The floor was subsequently waxed. White furniture, red accents and a striking round armchair demonstrate how much character an interior with cement-coloured concrete can have.

Cement-coloured concrete as a calm background
A cement-coloured floor does not have to result in a dull interior. Here, it is precisely the furniture and colour accents that make the difference. The white round armchair, the red areas and the green of the plant stand out against the grey floor.
The concrete has its own pattern but does not demand all the attention. This allows you to use distinctive furniture without the space becoming restless. This combination suits the modern lines of the villa and can also serve as inspiration for a smaller living interior.
The same floor, different living areas
In the dining area, the whole appears light and open. Near the designer armchair and the staircase, a different image emerges. Yet the floor remains the connecting factor between those places. The photos show both the surface up close and the relationship to the furnished space.
Anyone who wants a polished concrete floor in a home can gain a lot from this. Look at how large the free floor areas are, how the light falls on it, and which colours are nearby. It is best to choose a floor colour together with the furniture, the kitchen, and the wall finishes.
Finishing and protection are part of the choice
This grey floor was waxed after polishing. That treatment was intended to better protect the floor against the penetration of fats. That does not mean that concrete becomes insensitive to all liquids or signs of use.
For a new project, we discuss the desired appearance, suitable protection and maintenance together. Floor construction, joints and connections are also addressed beforehand. Read more about residential concrete floors in homes or view our polished concrete floors to compare the possibilities.
The concrete floor between the living spaces
The cement-coloured concrete floor runs through the different living spaces: through the passage to the dining area, along the red wall and in the open living area. This way you not only see a piece of furniture on concrete, but also how the grey-natural coloured floor fits into the overall home.
After polishing, the floor received a waxing treatment. The light incidence differs per photo and affects the visible colour and gloss. Therefore, view the images together as a project example, not as an exact colour sample for another home.
