When the carpet is finally ready to be removed (still not for many years, I expect), my ultimate dream is to polish the concrete underneath. After all, cool concrete floors would be PERFECT for such a humid climate, and I'm amazed that more apartments here don't do it (most have concrete floors concealed underneath carpet or tiles). It may not happen - maybe we'll end up with floating wooden or bamboo floors instead, which will also look great - but I'm still going to dream. Behold, some amazing interior concrete floors!

And, now, imagine how totally awesome our place would look if the carpet was replaced with a nice, cool concrete floor...
My friends had concrete floors in their last house and they were awesome. I think they go really well in homes decorated in a minimalist yet modern style like your photos.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more - concrete floors wouldn't work in everyone's home, but I'm confident that it would work well with the style of our home. Now I need to spend the next few years convicing the other half!
ReplyDeleteholy wow, if those photos aren't reason enough to convince your mister, I don't know what is!
ReplyDeleteHi Timmins. I have concrete floors at my place and they are GRAND! Mine are painted fire-engine red with paving paint and now that its about ten years old it's nicely worn and grungy-looking. Lovely and cool underfoot - and curiously warm in winter too... something to do with thermal mass, methinks. Mine's a slab - it may act differently if it were a suspended concrete floor. YAY CONCRETE!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, thanks Ms Emily! I do love the pics of your place.
