Concrete in the interior of a creative apartment of 47 sq. M. m

Even the most standard and dull living quarters can be turned into unusual, creative apartments without special material and physical costs, if competently set to work.

New building in 47 square meters. m, which went to a young married couple with a small child, was no different from thousands of others: concrete walls, a cement screed on the floor, electricity at the entrance to the apartment - this exhausted the builders' concern for the well-being of future residents. However, it turned out that concrete in the interior can become an unusual and very interesting finishing material.

Designers of a studio specializing in decorating small apartments took into account the wishes of customers: to spend as little money as possible, possibly even to the detriment of convenience or aesthetics - the family was not going to live in “odnushka”. Was it worth it to invest in the creation creative apartment?

That is why customers have suggested not to spend money on plastering walls, their further puttying, preparation for painting or buying wallpaper. As you know, just the plaster eats up the lion's share of the budget allocated for repairs.

Designers realized that fate gives them a unique chance to try whether concrete in the interior to turn from an auxiliary material hiding forever under the external decoration into a basis for housing design?

The idea of ​​not hiding what is usually hidden has been further developed: electrical wiring was laid directly on top of concrete, saving on chiselling concrete for hidden wiring. She reached her apotheosis in the bathroom, where even the sewers did not hide, covering the riser with a glass door. A washing machine was sheltered behind the same door.

Usually creative apartments require significant funds for their decoration, but in this case they managed to do without special expenses. An exclusive kitchen table literally came from the street: the underframe was taken from a glass table with a broken countertop, and the countertop itself was constructed from wooden shields found on the street. They were joined, a circle was cut, the sections were ground, and the tree was covered with special oil.

Snow-white kitchen - a budget option from IKEA.

The gray color is pretty monotonous, so the creators of the creative apartment decided to paint the interior partitions with white paint. Amazing bright accents revived the space: a floor lamp-skate and an armchair, which is inconvenient to sit on, but which looks very fresh and original.

The only expensive coating in the apartment is a polymer on the floor, imitating wood, and having a certain elasticity, which does not allow fragile objects falling on it to break.

Result: concrete in the interior It can look no worse than expensive finishing materials, if you get creative.
