Creative wall treatments often emphasize the difference between standard and designer spaces. Painted plaster, tiles, and wallpaper are far from the only finishes available, and today, more homeowners want something unique.
Interior wall cladding is a new way to finish walls, giving them texture and depth and creating a more attractive space. Today, we explore how to use concrete wall panels as cladding, with design ideas for every space.
Types of Concrete Walls Panels for Interior Design
The concrete cladding we use for interior walls differs from the large precast concrete panels architects often use in place of drywall. The latter is thicker and heavier and helps to support the roof. On the other hand, interior wall cladding comes in thin panels can be easily installed with everyday tools.
Concrete panels for interior walls come in a range of colours, including natural grey, white, and charcoal. Depending on your design preferences, you can also choose between matte, glossy, or textured finishes.
Decorating With Concrete Wall Panels – Ideas for Each Room
Living Room
You can use concrete panels to create a striking feature wall behind your TV or fireplace. Use large square panels in natural grey for an industrial look or smaller panels to accentuate an eclectic style. You can also finish structural pillars with concrete cladding to tie them into your overall design theme.
Kitchen
Concrete is durable, heat-resistant, and moisture-resistant, making it perfect for kitchen walls. You can use it as a backsplash under your range hood, above your sink, or for the sides of an island countertop. Cutting the concrete wall panels into small rectangles or squares allows you to use them like tiles. Choose concrete in white, cream, and other neutrals to brighten a low-light kitchen.
Bedroom
Many designers use interior wall cladding to create visual interest in contemporary bedrooms. The best place for a concrete feature wall is behind the headboard. To emphasize verticality, place long, narrow panels from floor to ceiling. To make the room look low and cozy, consider aligning your panels horizontally and drawing attention to them with warm mood lighting.
Bathroom
For an immersive wet-room bathroom, you can pair concrete wall panels from floor to ceiling with a concrete floor. This approach creates a minimalist bathroom you can style with Scandinavian, Japandi, Modernist, or industrial decor. Alternatively, consider cladding the lower half of your walls in textured concrete with colourful paint or wallpaper above.
