Concrete effect porcelain stoneware: there's a lot more than just minimalism
Concrete-effect porcelain stoneware tiles are specifically designed for all those environments that seek a simple and essential style, without renouncing to design. Therefore concrete-effect stoneware floors represent such a versatile furniture solution that they can be combined not only with the trendy minimal style, but with an equal efficacy with the industrial, the modern and the rustrial.
This versatility is perfect for enhancing indoor and outdoor spaces, thanks to the numerous outdoor versions that allow you to have the floors coordinated also with the outdoor spaces of the house. The delicate and slightly invasive aspect of concrete effect, that connotes itself for its cleanliness and modernity, increases the feeling of well-being of those who live in spaces where this type of floors of are installed. It is surprising how such a simple and not inspiring material like cement, has had so many interpretations over time, which is the result of research that gives great importance to creativity and is attentive to even the smallest detail. We therefore have concrete effect stoneware tiles that recall stone, some of them take the form of the formwork or the marks left by the mason's spatula, others offer a slightly worn or scratched appearance, while some other stoneware tiles mix this material with the appearance of traditional terracotta and give life to a new creation: concrete and terracotta tiles.
The risk of monotony and repetitiveness in the ceramic industry, is in fact very high when it comes to materials that do not present large differences by nature. In addition to the different material aspects, research laboratories have therefore concentrated their efforts on the creation of a trendy color palette.
Neutral hues
If we talk about concrete, we cannot fail to start from the range of grays, which is the design color par excellence that is in line with all the latest trends, precisely because it is the base on which to build our style, both if you want to create a minimal environment, and if you prefer the use of colors. Hypermodern, seriously elegant, with rigorous neatness, grey is the color of modernity, minimalism and industrialism, where the combination with wood or wood effect in a covering allows you to furnish unexpected spaces such as the bathroom. Concrete effect floors in grey are so universal that they can really be installed in any situation, from interiors to exteriors, from residential to commercial areas, and give harmony and security to your spaces.
Taupe concrete floors exploit the hybrid shades that are placed between brown and gray, to generate sensations of welcome and well-being, without renouncing to elegance, class and style. The wast range of taupe moves in a neutral color range territory, manages to confer a balanced design to environments and is capable of mitigating and supporting more brightly colored furnishings.
The more the spaces widen, the more the color should be attenuated so as not to weigh down the spaces too much, therefore beige tones are perfect for living rooms, designer kitchens or outdoor spaces such as gardens and verandas. Perfect for those who prefer a classic taste and for those who love warm colors, without sacrificing modernity, beige characterizes the spaces of your daily life with grace, sophistication and elegance. Beige concrete effect floors allow extremely versatile furnishing solutions, that easily adapt to the different essences of wooden furnishings or to the more modern tones of lacquered furniture.
Concrete and color: an unusual match
Finally, for those who are more daring or modern and do not want to give up colors, who recently came back in vogue among interior designers, but at the same time do not want to lose the practicality of porcelain stoneware, there are also colored versions of concrete effect tiles in different sizes, with which to create unique and unrepeatable spaces. The combination with cementina tiles coverings and the possibility to play with different colors within the same collection, perhaps by mixing neutral tones and colored tones, in a new and winning combination, allows you to transform your home or your commercial space in an innovative environment.
