WHAT'S SO COOL ABOUT CONCRETE WALLPAPER?

Popularized in the 1930’s modern movement, concrete has always been a designer’s best friend. And here’s why:

 

1. STYLISH RAW TEXTURED FINISH WALLPAPER

Concrete is all about structure and solidity, there is something entirely unique about its raw finishes that are just so appealing. You get every nook and cranny of a realistic concrete wall and the results are absolutely stunning. Concrete comes in so many textures and styles that add sensibility and materiality to interior design from rough or smooth, blocked or polished. As a basic neutral design backdrop, there is so much ground to work with. Concrete wallpaper has an overall allure of sleek sophistication and permanence that can revamp the atmosphere and newly define the mantra of any business.

 

2. CONCRETE WALLPAPER IS EASY AND REMOVABLE

New wallpaper technologies have made it so much easier to achieve the aesthetics of an urban industrial interior. You can save a lot of time, energy, and materials choosing to go with faux concrete wallpaper. Hiring a contractor might not be in your best interest if you’re still looking to get your business started.

Designing with wallpaper gives you the option to completely transform your walls by yourself in only a couple of hours. Wallpaper is also removable and easily interchangeable in comparison to a real concrete wall that you may have spent a lot of resources on. Now you can achieve the appeal of permanence that structural concrete wallpaper suggests without having to fully commit!

 

3. HIGH QUALITY WALLPAPER

Concrete textured wallpaper is extremely durable because of high quality of the substrate base used in creating the wall finish. It is called Type II vinyl. This type of wallpaper is great for protecting against wear and tear in high traffic areas. So for offices where furniture is constantly traveling around the room or where there are a lot of corridors and physical equipment, this wallpaper is ideal. Type II vinyl wallpaper is also impermeable which means it acts as a great moisture barrier to help prevent mold and mildew!

 

POPULAR CONCRETE WALLPAPER STYLES

1. WARM GREY CONCRETE VS COOL GREY CONCRETE

 

Crackled Concrete M9225  

 

WARM GREY CONCRETE WALLPAPER has comforting golden pink undertones that are complemented in places with lots of natural sunlight for an earthier vibe. For style pairings, brown leather or wooden furniture are great additions to the warmer concrete palette. Clean white textiles and rich gold accents can help to liven up and balance the tones of your faux concrete wallpaper.

 

Cold Concrete M9216

 

On the contrary, COOL GREY CONCRETE WALLPAPER has crisp blue undertones that are on the chillier side but really reflect the whole urban commercial loft look. To amplify that sleek and edgy style, cooler toned concrete wallpapers are great with wooden furniture as well but this time with black leather or textiles to fill in the negative space. Shiny silver or rusted metal accents in this case complete the constructed and industrial atmosphere.
