20. Industrial Faux Concrete Finish
If you love the raw, edgy look of urban lofts, you can recreate the texture of concrete using a clever paint technique. Apply a base coat of medium grey paint, and while it is still wet, use a sea sponge or rag to dab on lighter and darker shades of grey and white. Blend the colors using a dry, wide brush to mimic the natural color variations, pitting, and texture of poured concrete. This industrial chic accent wall provides a cool, textured backdrop that contrasts beautifully with warm wood accents and soft, plush bedding.
