19. Charcoal Gray Concrete Finish Accent Wall with Black Trim
Introduction and What This Idea Means
Industrial texture breaks up monochromatic monotony. Applying a faux concrete plaster finish in dark charcoal gray across an accent wall, framed by crisp black trim molding, brings modern loft minimalism into the gothic narrative.
How to Make It
Apply a multi-layered concrete-effect texture plaster across your accent wall using a steel trowel to create subtle mottled movement. Frame the perimeter of the concrete wall with solid black wood baseboards and crown molding.
Tips
Seal the concrete plaster finish with a matte protective topcoat to prevent chalking or dust transfer.
Variations and Essentials
