Concrete looks are increasingly common in bathrooms. It is a real trend, which can be seen in tiles and accessories, for example. Not just a grey shade, but also a concrete look with an anthracite colour or brown or beige undertones. Read here how to combine the concrete look in your bathroom!

Why a concrete look in the bathroom?

Concrete has a unique colour, which gives the room a cool look. However, real concrete in the bathroom is not recommended.It is very heavy and fragile and stains are difficult to remove.Concrete-look tilesare virtually indistinguishable from real concrete and have the advantages of tiles. They are lighter than concrete, easy to maintain and go well with underfloor heating.The tiles make the bathroom look more spacious while giving it a special look.Some concrete-look tiles are rough or have a structure, which is an advantage in the bathroom. The tiles do not get as slippery from water, so you are less likely to slip.Handy for the shower!

Go for a complete concrete look

Concrete effect tiles are often used to give the bathroom an industrial feel.Some tiles are not rectified, meaning they are not cut at right angles.This gives the tiles a unique, robust look that is perfect for an industrial bathroom.You can choose to give the rest of the room a concrete colour too, for example by combining the tiles with concrete effect tiles and a greyradiator.

Combine with black

Want to enhance the industrial look a little more? Then consider black bathroom accessories. You can see below whatblack tapsand a black base unit do for the look of a bathroom unit.A large, black rain shower or a combination with black tiles are also possibilities.

Combine with wood

Both concrete look and black often have a cool undertone. Do you prefer more warmth in the bathroom? Then combine grey tiles with wood. A wooden bathroom unit adds atmosphere to the room. You can also go either way with wood. For example, combine a warm-wood base cabinet with concrete effect tiles with a beige or brown undertone. This gives the bathroom a rural atmosphere. By using raw wood with grey undertones, you can carry the industrial style further into the bathroom.
