Achieving a "Concrete wall" look indoors
We live in a loft and really like the industrial look of raw concrete
walls. We've got one small wall (drywall/white paint) that is currently painted (approx 12x12) that we'd like to turn into a "concrete wall" -- it would serve no purpose other than being decorative (thus, it does not have to have a particular thickness or anything, just end up looking like a concrete wall). it is such a small (seemingly simple) project, we'd like to do it ourselves, however are having trouble finding DIY tutorials on such a matter. Are there any products/techniques out there to get this done? We'd preferably want to find a product/technique that we could apply directly over the paint. Also, we'd like it to be a certain color (dark grey) and would like to know if there are any particular "concrete staining" products that you would reccomend. I dont want to paint over the concrete, but rather would like to find a product that you can mix right in to the "concrete mix". |
