This home shows how using a lot of this basic material, concrete can simultaneously give a home a polished and yet, unrefined look. Incorporating concrete in interior design can have quite an impact. The straight lines of the slabs give this space a streamlined, contemporary look, while the rawness of it softens those lines and brings in a charming imperfect quality which seems to say ‘relax, we’re not that serious’ – basically making it feel more comfortable.

Wood is also a bit part of the interior design and takes the comfort level further. So together, wood and concrete make a nice pair, balancing each other out. Also, take a moment to appreciate the bathroom. Almost fully concrete combined with the right lighting scheme, the space is warm, raw and streamlined, which stays right on cue with the rest of this home, designed by AFGH.
