In the following section, we will show you the tricks that interior design specialists follow to make a consistent choice of microcement color, always ensuring user satisfaction through truly artistic finishes.

Aspects to consider for a successful choice of microcement color

As we have previously mentioned, the color of our surfaces is important not to fall into habit through a vague decision and for this it is important to know the 4 key factors that will indicate which microcement colors to use and in what proportions, all with the aim of getting the most out of our spaces and creating pleasant environments where a greater balance harmony among the elements is appreciated.

Color, even though it's one of the last steps in the renovation, is one of the major contributors to the success of your decorative refurbishment. Its presence can act as a guiding thread with the rest of the elements and if chosen well, it can bring life and freshness to a space that was initially considered boring and charmless.

Golden rule in decoration: 60 / 30 / 10

Are you familiar with it? The great professionals in decoration commonly use it for the choice of color in rooms. This rule basically describes how to distribute the presence of colors in the space, giving 60% relevance to the base color, 30% to the complementary one and 10% to a color to highlight the accent. In this way, through this theory the use of a maximum of 3 colors is recommended, however, there can sometimes be exceptions.

The base is usually a neutral color such as white, beige, gray... Since they will not overload the space with their presence. In the case of the complementary, it tends to be more intense or darker shades used as a contrast to the first. Finally, the accent will be made using a very intense color, its use should be in small proportions to ensure an environment where the well-known "visual stress" is not generated.

The light: a fundamental role in the color of microcement

If until now you had not considered, it is time for you to know that light directly influences the choice of the color of microcement, so that those rooms that enjoy a good amount of natural light, may tend to use darker colors, however, if the opposite is true, it is recommended to apply light tones that help generate better lighting of the room in order to guarantee a feeling of overwhelm.

Natural light is vital in decoration, but artificial light plays just as fundamental a role, especially for those who do not have the pleasure of having natural light sources. The type of bulb, color and intensity will directly influence the appearance of the room. It is not the same a white light that will generate colder environments, than yellow light, creating a feeling of warmth and more cozy.

Dimensions do matter

A classic in interior design, light colors create a sense of greater spaciousness while dark ones will do the opposite, reducing the space visually. In this way, taking into account the dimensions of the space to be renovated is totally fundamental for the choice of the color of the microcement.

Surfaces in white or neutral colors will create spaciousness. These colors create a visual relief and help to satisfactorily reflect light, so in those rooms that are smaller it is recommended to tend to use this kind of colors in them.

Choose a microcement color in accordance with the compartment

The decoration of a living room is not the same as that of a bathroom. Each space has a function and the color is fundamental to fulfill this function. When talking about living rooms, the aim is to create a calm and harmonious atmosphere, which invites you to spend hours in it, so its decoration is usually done through neutral colors and a contrast with other soft colors that emit peace.

In the case of bathrooms or kitchens, whites are usually the main protagonists and tend to go hand in hand with other more intense colors, but in very small proportions.

On the contrary, a completely different example is usually children's bedrooms. These tend to be decorated with intense colors in order to create spaces that transmit more vitality.

In the case of other more professional environments such as factories, leisure shops, hotels, etc. The use of color will completely vary. The key lies in thinking about the function of the space and choosing a color in accordance with it.

Microcement colors most in demand by experts

Although it is true that the offer of colors in microcement could be considered almost infinite, there are 5 that are marking the trend in the decorative scene, creating environments with really attractive and modern finishes, which are being a resounding success wherever they are used.

Next, we will show which are the colors chosen par excellence and we will detail the most optimal way to make good use of them in the decoration of your surfaces:

White

The white microcement could be said to be, among all the colors of microcement, the jewel in the crown. Its presence always makes a good impression, creating spaces of great amplitude, with good lighting and, above all, without going out of style and combining perfectly with all the other existing colors. The exact image of purity and neatness, which makes it the perfect color, one could say, for any room.

Although at first glance it may seem a flat and simple color, its variety of shades is surprising and can be much more creative than one might think. From an intense snow-white look, to more neutral tones like off-white capable of creating rooms with their own personality.

Such is its potential that it looks radiant whatever the surface may be: living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, entrances, hallways, facades and even swimming pools.

You choose the type of atmosphere with the white color in microcement, being able to vary between a warmer shade when accompanied by natural elements such as raffia, wood, wicker, and yellow lighting. Or on the contrary, if you prefer, you can opt for a somewhat colder and intense environment, perfect for bathrooms, to awaken your senses.

Black

Are you in favor of creating an elegant and exclusive environment? With black, excellence is served. A color with a strong character that, used in the right proportions, can provide the perfect sophisticated touch wherever it is applied.

The black color in microcement generates a strong presence, therefore, if it's excessively used it can prove counterproductive, creating a feeling of suffocation and reducing light to the surroundings. It is recommended to use it in just the right measure, such as on a tall black wall in contrast with the rest in neutral colors and good lighting.

The decoration of the black color on the floor is also an interesting option, however, you must balance the roles of the other elements well to achieve a balance between them all.

Sand

An exclusive color with which to bring naturalness to the room. It is one of the neutral tones par excellence and with the advent of naturalist styles in interior design, several interior designers are including it in their decorations as the main feature.

The rooms look with a singular freshness, giving them more vivacity that, in combination with other natural elements, is capable of creating a relaxed and soothing atmosphere.

We recommend combining it with plants, colors, whites, and terracotta. Wood also works effectively, managing to turn your home into the perfect place to escape from the daily hustle and enter a climate of peace.

Olive green

The olive green microcement has established itself as a winner in the interior decoration scene. Continuing with the same trend of naturalness, styles like boho are some of the major drivers of its increased use.

It is a pastel color whose soft intensity looks ideal with almost any other shade that occurs.

There are other options in pastel colors that have also seen their demand increase considerably, such as light pink, blues and even yellows in some instances.

Gray

If you're interested in a color that adapts to any context, in gray you'll find a versatile option that works perfectly on floors, walls, stairs, and ceilings, as well as on outdoor and indoor surfaces. A shade that offers a great capacity to reflect light, which serves to create an interesting sensation of clarity and, in this way, to enhance a more transparent style.

Gray microcement has the property to combine with itself in different shades, with the aim of creating contrasted and deep environments, as well as generating an attractive sensation of dynamism.
