Concrete

Being surrounded by concrete for most of us looks like living in a state of permanent repair. If the concrete is not treated, the house will always be in dust and dirt. But today this problem is easily solved: concrete is covered by varnishes that do not give it to crumble. So architects completely refuse using wallpaper and paint, leaving the concrete in its pure form on the floor, walls and ceiling.

Wood

Nothing else calls for a careful treatment so as wood. Architects and designers must understand its structure, properties; know the advantages and disadvantages of various breeds. Otherwise, all the beauty of wood pattern will be lost.

We must strive to ensure that the wood looked naturally in the room. This means that if it is selected as the main finishing material, the interiors must be built based on its color, texture and quality.
