5 Home Design Inspirations For Those Who Love Distressed Wood And Concrete

These days, warm, darkly-hued interior design schemes with lots of textures are synonymous with the concept of urban-chic and decadent. Out of all the textures used in these spaces, distressed wood and concrete are the most commonly implemented. Further, we’ll look at 5 spaces that make the most of these. Let’s have a look:

1. Darkly decadent

The floor complements the walls and together they deliver the best of all worlds to the eye of the beholder. However, it is the contrast of the furniture that actually anchors the whole space beautifully and keeps it from looking repetitive and monotonous.

2. A rich sitting nook

The texture helps create a cozy aura that is modernized by the sleek furniture, the gorgeous window blinds, and the strategically placed accessories on the bench. It all feels very dramatic and cinematic at once.

3. Break it up with pattern

What’s even better is that the pattern can be customized according to the space and can be done with either grooves or stainless steel strips. The choice is completely yours.

4. Adding sleek textures

The kitchen interior design in this image is one of the best articulations of this technique you’ll ever find. The matt surfaces of the cabinet laminates, chrome shine of the appliances and the glossy surface of the marble texture contrast the concrete-wood combo with so much impact and panache.

5. Some bright whites

This bedroom interior design is a great example of how to manage both spectrums of the achromatic color-texture scheme in a balanced fashion.
