3 design ideas for concrete kitchen floors
Keen cook? Hectic household? Polished concrete floors are the best choice for busy kitchens. You don’t have to worry about cleaning grout lines, cracking a tile, scuffing and denting timber or splashing liquids that can stain. Highly durable concrete can handle the toughest treatment, all while looking sleek, modern and on-trend.
With Dulux Avista decorative concrete, there are endless design possibilities for concrete kitchen floors. It’s all in the choice and combination of colours, the selection of epoxy flakes and the finish. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with options, be inspired by the most popular looks rocking the world of interiors right now.
Idea 1: Calming natural stone
We’ve seen plenty of natural stone and granite pop up in high-end interiors for a while now. While stone is used widely in benchtops and tiling, stone flooring is now all the rage. It brings an organic warmth to the kitchen, creating depth and interest without overwhelming the space.
Dulux Avista Accredited Applicators, SA Resurfacing, ground back the stone floor in this Perth home. The natural beauty of the stone was revealed and polished, then sealed with Dulux Avista Polyurethane Internal Flooring Sealer for a protective sheen.
Don’t have the budget for real stone flooring? No problem. Dulux Avista Natural Stone Look Flakes mimic the look of premium stone finishes at a fraction of the cost. Shown here is a flake floor using our epoxy base colour of Portobello Field topped with the Dalmatian Stone flake blend, and sealed with a clear epoxy resin. You can choose one of our six designer flake blends or choose your own custom look.
Idea 2: Bold terrazzo
A little bohemian, a little mediterranean and a whole lot of fun, terrazzo flooring in the kitchen always delivers the wow factor. Real terrazzo is a mix of granite or marble chips in a concrete base, polished back to achieve a smooth surface. Dulux Avista Decorative Flakes lets you build a terrazzo or marble epoxy floor over a base colour. You can vary the size, shape and volume of flakes to customise the look, and achieve a high gloss finish with fast-drying Dulux Avista Polyaspartic Sealer.
This light and bright kitchen feels warm and contemporary thanks to its gorgeous floors. Copy this look with the Tawny Sand Flakes over Beige Tusk epoxy base.
Idea 3: Classic polished concrete
The ‘little black dress’ of flooring is simple, chic and oozes understated elegance. First emerging as option for those wanting ‘industrial chic’, polished concrete is now a mainstream favourite. And it’s not going away anytime soon!
