Modernize Your Fireplace with Concrete Wall Look
Modernize Your Fireplace with Concrete Wall Look
Fireplaces have long been a focal point in homes, but in recent years, homeowners have sought more modern and artistic approaches to elevate this central feature. We recently had the pleasure of working on a unique fireplace accent wall using microcement, achieving a striking concrete wall look with a blend of rich textures and hues. The finish is unlike any traditional wall treatment—it’s an art form in itself.
What is a Microcement?
Microcement is a modern, decorative coating that offers a sleek, concrete wall look without the need for heavy construction. It’s a versatile material made from a mix of cement, water-based resins, and mineral pigments, creating a seamless, durable finish that can be applied to walls, floors, bathrooms, and even furniture. Known for its unique aesthetic, microcement delivers the beauty of industrial-style concrete, yet offers the flexibility to suit various design preferences. Its minimalistic, smooth texture makes it a popular choice for creating striking accent walls with a refined, architectural concrete wall finish.
The Process
An Artistic Journey with Microcement
Unlike limewash or Venetian plaster, creating a concrete wall look with microcement is a longer and more meticulous process. Microcement, a blend of cement, resins, and other additives, requires multiple layers to achieve that signature raw, industrial finish. In our recent project, we crafted a textured surface with shades of greyish-blue and lighter grey microcement, giving it an abstract, almost chaotic appearance—like a canvas painted by nature.
Each layer of microcement must dry fully before the next can be applied, ensuring a flawless, durable finish. This extended drying time means the process takes longer compared to other finishes, but the result is well worth the wait. The extra effort, combined with the premium quality of microcement materials, does come at a slightly higher cost. Microcement requires a significant amount of material, which, given its durability and versatility, is understandably pricier than other options. However, what you get in return is a custom-designed, high-end architectural finish tailored to your unique vision.

Benefits of Microcement: Durability Meets Design
One of the key advantages of microcement is its incredible durability. Once fully cured, it forms a seamless, water-resistant surface that can withstand wear and tear, making it an ideal choice not only for accent walls but also for high-traffic areas like floors, kitchens, and bathrooms. Its minimalistic yet sophisticated aesthetic complements various design styles, from industrial chic to modern minimalism.
Microcement can be applied to almost any surface, including drywall, concrete, or existing tiles, making it a versatile option for both new constructions and renovations. Whether you’re aiming for a bold architectural concrete wall finish or a subtle, smooth texture, microcement delivers a finish that is entirely customizable, allowing you to create a look that’s truly one of a kind.

A Custom Design That Speaks to You
At the heart of every microcement project is its ability to be customized. The beauty of this material lies in the wide range of textures and colors it offers, allowing us to design a finish that reflects your personal style and preferences. The concrete wall look we achieved on the fireplace in this recent project perfectly embodied the homeowner’s vision—raw, abstract, and full of character.
Whether you’re looking to add a touch of modern elegance to your living space or transform an entire room with an architectural concrete wall finish, microcement provides endless possibilities. The slightly longer process and investment in high-quality materials ensure you’re left with a stunning, durable design that will be admired for years to come.
