Concrete Furniture Options For Your Home
When people think of concrete, they generally think of floors, but concrete can be used for so much more. It can even be used to make furniture. Concrete can be crafted into many forms and can be used to make tables, benches, and fireplaces.
Concrete Furniture Is Not Always Heavy
People often think that concrete furniture is extremely heavy. While it is heavier than typical furniture, the weight can actually be an advantage if concrete furniture is used outdoors because it will not blow around on a windy day or in a storm and become a dangerous projectile.
To make indoor concrete furniture easier to move, lightweight concrete mixes are used to reduce the weight of the finished product. Fiber reinforcement can also be used to make the material thinner without giving up strength. Large pieces, such as tables, can be cast in smaller pieces to make them easier to transport and assemble. Concrete furniture is also sometimes mounted on casters or rollers to make it easier to move.
Concrete Furniture Can Be Comfortable
When people think about concrete benches, they usually assume they must be extremely uncomfortable, but that is not necessarily true. A concrete bench is no more uncomfortable than solid wood or wrought iron furniture. Cushions or pillows can be put on a concrete bench to make it more comfortable. Designers also sometime mold concrete furniture in ways that make it ergonomic to improve comfort.
Concrete Furniture Can Match a Home’s Décor
People often think that concrete furniture will clash with the rest of the furniture in the house, but that is not the case. Concrete can be molded in many shapes, textures, and colors to complement any décor, from traditional to modern. Concrete can be designed to match the specific needs and preferences of the homeowner. It can be made to individual specifications and crafted to fit into any space.
A Concrete Fireplace Can Be a Focal Point and a Place to Relax
A fireplace can be the focal point of a room, helping family members relax and creating an inviting atmosphere for guests. A concrete fireplace mantel or surround can capture people’s eyes and can be like adding a work of art to the room. A concrete fireplace can be crafted in a wide range of colors and styles, from traditional to modern, to complement the décor in any home.
