Admin • October 18, 2019
How can you add value to your home without a total teardown or major renovation? Concrete is an easy way to up the ante on aesthetics. If you're not sure where to start making changes, take a look at the top interior and exterior concrete projects to consider.
Interior Floors
Stamped or stained concrete can transform your floors - and the entire look of your home. Why choose concrete flooring to add value to your home? This interior option is:
- Durable. Unlike easy-to-stain carpeting or delicate wood floors that can scratch, concrete can stand up to your family's constant use. This makes it an aesthetic option that can last for decades to come. This can save you, or the next owner, money in the long-run.
- Stylish. Whether you prefer a modern style or traditional, a stamped or stained concrete can provide you with the look you want. If you choose to sell your home down the road, concrete offers a standout style that sets your home apart from others on the market.
- Low maintenance. Not only can you enjoy the low-maintenance lifestyle that comes with concrete floors, but the next homeowner can to. The low degree of upkeep needed makes these floors an attractive addition for anyone who owns the house.
- If you're not sure where to install concrete floors, you have an almost endless variety of options. From bathrooms and kitchens to living rooms and dining spaces, these floors add a special something to any area of the home.
Interior Accents
Floors aren't the only interior spaces that can benefit from a concrete redo. If you are on the hunt for a way to add value to your home, increase visual interest, and create a low-maintenance environment, consider:
- Concrete countertops. Create a modern feel with this alternative kitchen option.
- Concrete stairs. Concrete stairs aren't just outdoor options. You can use this building materials to create contemporary, durable stairs that give your home an industrial-like look.
- Concrete fire-feature. Change the look of your mantle or fireplace with concrete. Instead of individual stones or bricks, stamped concrete is often a less expensive option that adds plenty of visual flare.

Patio Spaces
A dull, dirt-covered backyard patio leaves something to be desired. But a custom, stamped concrete style is a design option that can add extra appeal. Whether you want a new and entirely impressive look for your yard or you need to increase the value before you sell the house, concrete is an option to seriously explore.
A concrete patio addition comes with plenty of benefits. These include:
- Options. Forget about plain gray concrete. You have options. Stamped patterns, staining, and other treatments can turn would-be plain paving into a designer delight. This makes it possible to choose a style that matches your home's exterior or your landscape design.
- Durability. Like interior floors, exterior concrete flooring is a durable option. The sturdy structure will save you, or future homeowners, money on maintenance and repairs (in comparison to some other types of building materials).
- Cost-effectiveness. Unlike stones or pavers, concrete will add value without also adding intense expenses. While pricey stones and individual pavers can create a decorative design with superior aesthetics, they can also break your home improvement budget.
Along with the patio area, you can also extend the concrete to other backyard or side-yard spaces. A continual design throughout your property (with the same stamped or stained concrete) can pull the look of the exterior area together and change the face of your yard.
