31 Simple “Concrete Bathroom” Design Ideas That Will Blow Your Mind

The bathroom is the perfect place to relax. Just shut off from the outside world with a nice warm bath after a long day’s work or a refreshing shower in the morning.

Concrete look has become a real trend in recent years, also in the bathroom. The beautiful shades and the sleek finish exude a serene tranquillity that fits perfectly with the ultimate spa experience, just at home.

Concrete is not everybody’s cup of tea, but as we’ve seen over the years this hard-wearing material has crept into the gardens and homes of forward-thinking design enthusiasts.

And whilst some people would rather see the back of it, others are enjoying the benefits of concrete in their bathrooms.

As concrete is treated to withstand water saturation it’s a no-brainer for shower interiors. Walls can easily be rendered in concrete to provide sharp clean lines for contemporary bathrooms, as well as handy ‘cut out’ storage areas.

 

So the thought of a concrete bath may not be instantly appealing, but when we tell you they’re great at retaining the heat, you might just change your mind.

Other redeeming features include durability and the fact that it’s hard-wearing. You also have some flexibility in the shape and design as concrete can be moulded. Curved or smooth edges, anyone?

Concrete has a high ‘embodied energy’ meaning there is a lot of energy used in its production. However, this is balanced against its ability to save on future energy by acting as a thermal mass, as previously mentioned.

It is also very durable and hard-wearing, so a well-installed concrete floor will far outlast other flooring materials. That’s why it’s a popular floor choice for ‘green’ homes.
