Glistening interiors feature in our latest lookbook, which spotlights eight kitchens and dining rooms lined with glazed concrete floors.
Aside from their seamless appearance, polished concrete floors are a durable option for cooking and eating spaces within the home, where surfaces are prone to mess and spillage.
Often neutrally-toned, concrete floors also offer versatility – serving as a backdrop that can complement a range of materials, hues and finishes.
Highlighted among this list of projects is a home renovation finished with green-toned concrete floors in Belgium and an almost entirely concrete home with a pared-back interior in the Czech Republic.
This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen's archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring living rooms that use Ligne Roset's iconic Togo sofa, dental clinics with inviting interiors and homes with stylish shelves for book lovers.
