The modern concrete-look living room
Get inspired by real interiors and see how concrete-look floors and walls create a seamless, balanced space.
Concrete look living room: stylish, durable and timeless
A concrete look living room doesn’t always have to be grey. You can choose soft sand tones, warm beige or taupe, but also deeper colours like olive green or anthracite. With our products, you create lively effects on your walls that breathe and come to life. The perfect match, if you ask us.
Creating a concrete look wall in your living room yourself
All our products are designed so you can easily apply them yourself. Betonlook.nl is the go-to partner for DIY solutions. Would you rather have it done by a professional? That’s of course possible too.
Preparing the substrate
Good preparation is key. For the living room, you need a smooth substrate, for example plastered with lime mortar or gypsum. You can then easily apply our textured paint or plaster types.
When should you choose paint and when Microcement?
The choice is actually simple:
- Textured paint types → perfect for walls and ceilings that aren’t exposed to heavy wear. They give your living room that beautiful concrete look without needing to use a plaster product.
- Microcement → ideal for floors, furniture and areas that need to withstand dirt and heavy use. For example, do you have a dining area with small children? Then Microcement is always a smart choice.
A Microcement living room
Want to create a Scandinavian look, a modern style or a Japanese interior? With Microcement on the floor, and by finishing walls or furniture with it as well, you’ll create a calm and cohesive look. Everything flows together seamlessly.
Did you know we offer matching colours in both Microcement and paint? They’re easy to identify: the paint colours have a number without 10, while the Microcement has the same number with 10 in front. So 10203 Camille is the Microcement, and the paint is simply called 203 Camille. Easy to find, right?
The benefits of concrete effect paint in the living room
Our concrete effect paints are all vapour-permeable and ecological. That means they absorb and release moisture, helping to maintain a healthy indoor climate in your living room. The same goes for our Loam plaster – ideal for those who want to live sustainably and healthily.
Which product should I choose for a concrete look living room?
Our advice: choose the colour that suits you and your interior. Each paint line has unique shades you won’t easily find in another. The finish, paint or plaster, mostly determines the effect, but the end result is stunning either way.
Alle vragen over een betonlook woonkamer
What is the difference between Microcement and concrete effect paint in the living room?
Microcement → seamless, water-repellent and resistant to heavy use. Perfect for floors, furniture and walls near the dining area.
Concrete effect paint → decorative, vapour-permeable and ideal for dry walls and ceilings. Easier to apply and more budget-friendly.
Does a concrete look also suit a small living room?
Yes, definitely. With light concrete look colours like sand, beige or light grey, you create a spacious effect. Want warmth and atmosphere? Then deep tones like taupe or olive green work beautifully.
Do I always need a primer for a concrete look living room?
Yes, for all paints and plasters in our range you need a primer. Use EcoPrimer coarse for Loam plaster and Texture paint. Use EcoPrimer for Lime paint, concrete effect paint, Loam paint and Japandi paint. For Microcement, use the Microcement primer.
Which concrete look fits your interior style?
Japandi living room → choose our Japandi paint, Lime paint or Loam paint. These collections offer many beige and sand tones that bring calm and balance.
Scandinavian living room → think of light colours from the Lime paint, Microcement or our concrete effect paint collections. Off-whites and creamy tones provide a calm foundation. This also applies to the modern interior style.
Industrial living room → go for bolder tones from the concrete effect paint or Texture paint collections. Grey, anthracite and green-grey combine perfectly with wood.
Hotel chic living room → choose dark colours from the Lime paint or Loam paint collections. Think olive green, warm terracotta or dark taupe for a luxurious feel. Don’t forget our Metallic paint set for a touch of shine!
Rustic living room → choose Loam paint or Loam plaster. Soft, earthy and providing a warm look that contributes to a healthy indoor environment.
Is Microcement suitable for a living room?
Yes, absolutely. A Microcement living room is not only stylish, but also practical. Microcement is strong, wear-resistant and easy to clean, making it ideal for floors, furniture and walls that see a lot of use.
When should I use a coating in the living room?
A coating is needed on surfaces that are exposed to wear or that you want to clean regularly, such as floors, dining tables or walls around the dining area. With Microcement, a coating layer is always included in the kit. For paint types in the living room, only use a coating when you want extra protection, for example, our Bio paint coating or Paint Protect for our concrete effect paint, Lime paint or Japandi paint.
