Like most other Americans, when it comes to furnishing the home, one looks for pieces that are stylish, versatile, and a reflection of self. Updating your interior and exterior décor by using innovative concrete techniques is a great way to enhance the look of your home. Many don’t realize that concrete can be used in myriad other ways to furnish and bring a sense of style home through concrete furniture — inside and out.
The Concrete Network, the largest and most comprehensive source for concrete information, offers an online concrete furniture photo gallery filled with several examples exhibiting design ideas on creating one-of-a-kind furniture pieces for your home or office using concrete.
Concrete offers many qualities for furniture and is innovatively being used for tables, benches, bookcases and even chairs in homes and offices around the world. Concrete is extremely versatile and can be formed to accommodate any type of existing space restrictions.
Because of its versatility concrete is one of the only materials that can be molded into countless shapes. Surfaces can be made to have soft, graceful curves and textures, complimented with warm, soothing color tones. Concrete offers a unique look and its creative possibilities are endless. Concrete also gives a natural look and feel and blends well with other design elements.
