Concrete is mostly used outdoors to build strong driveways and pavements. However, there's more than one way to creatively use concrete in your home's exterior and interior décor.

You can use concrete for decorative purposes with the help of concrete contractors. The contractors will explain different designs you can implement in your home and help you actualize them.

Here are a few ways you can use decorative concrete.

1. Concrete Fireplace

If you have a traditionally structured home, you most likely have a fireplace in the living room. Most traditional homes have a brick fireplace, and while it might fit into the home's rustic theme, it isn't exactly modern.

Give your fireplace a facelift with a concrete surface and achieve a more contemporary look. You can even build concrete pillars and columns and create decorative trim and other decorative details on the fireplace.

Hire qualified concrete contractors to sketch a design for the new fireplace. Then, discuss and adjust the details to inject your personality into the structure. Once you approve the design, the concrete contractors can build a sturdy, modern, and more appealing structure to improve your home's appearance.

2. Concrete Patio

Most people prefer stones and bricks to build a patio, but you can break from the norm and build a decorative concrete patio. Moreover, a concrete patio will cost less than a brick or stone patio.

If you like intricate patterns and designs, communicate your preferences to the concrete contractors as they work on your project. The experts emboss the textured surface with whichever designs you prefer and create an amazing outdoor space for you and your family.

3. Water Fountain

Your home's outdoor space should have a relaxing aura, and what better way to achieve that than with a well-sculpted water fountain?

A water fountain is a stylish and elegant decorative feature that speaks of your love for class and style and is a great way to increase your home's aesthetic and market value. Ask the concrete contractors to design the water fountain to whichever shape you desire.

4. A Decorative Concrete Floor

Concrete floors don't have to be dull gray; use a chemical compound to stain them and create beautiful, intricate patterns.

For example, you can stain your concrete floors to look like wooden floors through color layering. Concrete contractors will apply color in three or more gradients to add depth and create a beautiful faux wood appearance. Better still, use concrete overlays on your floors to create a beautiful, well-designed interior space.
