MICROCEMENT IN THE LIVING ROOM

The living room is the heart of the home, a space whose function is to integrate and relax. It is where we spend time with family and friends, relaxing after a busy day. Therefore, it is worth taking care of the proper arrangement of the living room, focusing not only on functionality or colours, but also on the choice of materials, which will help to create an atmosphere conducive to well-being, giving energy after a long day.

Why is microcement in the living room a good choice?

WIDE COLOR PALETTE

Colours have a significant impact on our emotions and moods, which is why Festfloor® microcement offers a wide range of colours to suit individual living room design preferences. In addition to the standard colour palette, microcement is also available to order in RAL and NCS colours.

VERSATILITY

Microcement is versatile because of its versatility of use – it can be used in virtually any part of the interior, from floors to walls and even furniture. Its adaptability to different interior design styles makes it an ideal material for many types of rooms.

HIGH THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY

Due to its thin layer and excellent thermal conductivity, microcement works well with underfloor heating systems to ensure even heat distribution in the room.This is also one of the advantages of this material, which makes it a popular choice for those planning to install underfloor heating in their home.

EASY CARE

Microcement is easy to care for, thanks to its homogeneous surface (jointless floor), which makes it easy to remove dirt. Microcement surfaces only need to be systematically dry vacuumed, and for optimum protection we recommend using dedicated care products.

MICROCEMENT IN THE LIVING ROOM

THE POTENTIAL OF MICROCEMENT IN LIVING ROOM DESIGN

Microcement is perfect for the living room because of its aesthetic and functional properties. Thanks to these, it has become a valued finishing material by interior designers, allowing it to fit into a variety of design styles. 

 

Scandinavian-style living room is characterised by a minimalist approach to design, natural materials and light colours, which harmonises perfectly with the microcement surface. 

 

Boho living room is a harmonious combination of nature, softness and shades inspired by earth colours. Most often, white and beige reign supreme in such interiors, sometimes browns and also black. Microcement blends perfectly with natural materials such as wood, stone or linen, and the wide range of colours allows you to match the right shade to the boho style.

 

Rustic style living room is a reflection of a rural atmosphere, with wood and natural fabrics leading the way. The rustic style relies on natural and raw materials, which makes microcement the perfect choice, as its aesthetics will emphasise the harmony of the overall design.

 

Loft living room is a space full of rawness and industrial character. Microcement, with its minimalist and uniform texture, fits perfectly with the raw character and industrial aesthetic of this style, especially in shades of grey.

MICROCEMENT FLOOR IN THE LIVING ROOM

There are numerous benefits to using microcement on the living room floor, which is why it is becoming an increasingly popular choice, allowing designers and builders to experiment with interior design. What’s more, microcement can be adapted to virtually any RAL or NCS colour, further expanding the field of design possibilities. An interesting idea is a blue or black floor in the living room – a bold departure from classic patterns such as grey. Another important aspect of microcement flooring in the living room is that it is easy to keep clean, thanks to a uniform surface without joints or grout. However, in order for this type of flooring to maintain its aesthetics and comfort for many years, it is important to properly protect the feet of the furniture. We recommend the use of felt pads to distribute the weight of the furniture evenly and reduce the formation of indentations.

 

MICROCEMENT IN THE LIVING ROOM ON UNDERFLOOR HEATING

Festfloor® microcement can be used on a floor with underfloor heating, bringing even more comfort to residents. By eliminating traditional radiators, underfloor heating not only improves thermal comfort, but also adds aesthetics and saves space. Microcement flooring on underfloor heating provides a pleasant feeling of warmth underfoot. However, it is important to use microcement appropriately in this case, with the correct installation procedures to guarantee the durability and effectiveness of the system.

MICROCEMENT WALLS IN THE LIVING ROOM

Microcement on living room walls is not only a practical solution, but also a great way to give the interior an interesting direction. Thanks to its texture and its ability to match different colours and textures, microcement can completely transform the look of a living room, making it an ideal solution also for a smaller renovation, such as applying microcement only on one wall behind the TV. 

 

Microcement walls can be an important part of the living room design or act as a subtle background. The choice of whether to use microcement on all the walls of the living room or on one depends on aesthetic preferences, the style of the interior and its size. In small living rooms, the light shades of microcement on the walls and its uniform surface without joints will help to create the impression of more space. Light colours reflect light better, which will help to brighten up the interior and give it a fresh feel, while avoiding an overwhelming effect, which is particularly important in smaller rooms. 

 

TV WALL IDEA

 

In the case of the living room, many of our clients choose to apply microcement to the floor and the TV wall, creating a sense of continuity and spatial harmony. The wall behind the TV, covered with micro-cement, becomes the focal point of the living room, giving the room an unusual style. In addition, the uniform surface of the microcement TV wall provides a perfect backdrop that does not distract from the movie screening.
