The Cement Look: An Interior Design Star

Imagine how you customize your favorite belongings—your phone, your car—to reflect your personal style. The same principle applies to home décor. Interior design today is all about creating spaces that resonate with individual tastes. One trend that’s capturing everyone’s attention is the "cement look," a style inspired by modernity and industrial aesthetics.

Although reminiscent of the industrial trends from the late 80s and 90s, the cement look is currently favored by architects and interior designers for its ability to create seamless surfaces that don't overwhelm the space. This style effortlessly ties different rooms together while infusing a chic, New York loft vibe that is always a showstopper.

Microcement is often the go-to material for achieving this look. Made from cement, microcement offers a smooth, continuous finish. Its popularity in interior design is due to its versatility, high performance, and durability. It allows for covering floors, walls, and furniture seamlessly, avoiding the need for extensive renovations.

In addition to microcement, other materials like cement and polished concrete can be combined to enhance the aesthetic appeal. The variety of colors and textures available ensures a cohesive visual union of all decorative elements.

Policrete liquid porcelain offers a similar look and feel to microcement but with even greater durability. With a wide range of colors and textures, it provides even more options for pairing or replacing microcement.

These materials help create spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also full of personality and visual impact. Floors and walls are just the beginning. When combined with wood or metal, outdoor seating areas become both durable and expressive of your personal style.

Cement and concrete blend perfectly with wood, which can soften the harshness of these materials. Depending on the type of wood used, you can achieve a modern or classic touch, particularly effective in bathrooms, kitchens, and living rooms.

Microcement, cement, and concrete are also ideal for making a variety of items from flower pots to outdoor lamps. Initially, the idea of cement lamps seemed impossible, but the material’s thin application has proven it can defy expectations.

For larger furniture pieces, cement tables with copper or wood accents are highly sought after. Microcement or liquid porcelain adds a stone-like element to the décor. When combined with wood, metal, or glass, these materials provide an instant modern look. Warm copper with silver cement offers a contemporary twist, while clear glass paired with blue cement makes a striking statement.

This trend works beautifully both indoors and outdoors. Outdoor seating, made durable by these materials, creates a natural, spontaneous style for any environment.

Policrete offers two finishing styles to easily bring this trendy look into your home with lasting quality. Our highly resistant liquid porcelain coatings can mimic the style of microcement or polished concrete, creating aesthetically pleasing spaces with the continuity that defines the "cement look."

With the "cement look," you can give your home an industrial flair combined with other trends. Why not give it a try?
