I want to paint a concrete floor! We are having a lot of work done on our conservatory and I want to paint the floor!
I’m slowly winning round the hubby, he’s still not 100% convinced of my idea! So, I thought, being a blogger, what a great way to explain my reason and write about it!
We need a new flooring in there, it’s been there over 12 years now and it’s not looking good!
Why Paint A Concrete Floor
We’ve had carpet in there since it was first put up, it is going to go through some major changes soon and we know that the carpet needs to go!
Whilst, it was great, it wasn’t the best colour! A beige/gold colour! Don’t ask me why we choose that colour! I now hate it!
Every time I vacuum it my Shark is full of little gold fluffy bits, I’m convinced that the sun and damp have completely destroyed this carpet!
Don’t worry the damp is going in the most amazing upgrade!
I don’t want tiles, I have them in my hallway and while I like them, I don’t love them!
So, I feel the only option I haven’t explored is painting the concrete floor!
I want to fall in love with this upgrade, so I am spending time choosing the right products for all areas!

- This instruction post gives you the details that you need to make your stained floor look amazing and last!
Concrete Paint Colours
I am truly amazed by the colours, textures and patterns for painting concrete floors!
I really had no idea a number of different options that are available! As for the colours that you want, the choice is endless!
I just can’t make up my mind as to what option I want to try yet, here’s hoping that my hubby falls in love with this option as much as I am!
I really can’t believe that painting floors seemed so odd when I first started to think about it and now it truly is something that I want to try, in more than one room!
Epoxy Floor Paint
The more I’m reading up on the subject the more I’m learning about the different types of paint to use!
Because we have dogs, and they love to run around the house, I’m looking more for epoxy paint options! I have seen that you can get paint’s with one part epoxy and this gives the protection to the paint from scratches!

- I will need to decide on a style and find a suitable concrete paint!
- A painting roller to apply the paint!
- Painters tape to protect the skirting boards!
- Stencils, if I choose to stencil the floor!
- Protection, I think that protecting the paint is important, especially in high-traffic areas! I’ve been thinking about a wet look sealant!

My wife and I have a concrete floor in our basement, and I think that being able to change it up would be good for us. I’m glad that you talked about being able to paint our concrete floor like you said would be good for us, and give our basement a whole new look. I’m going to have to look a little bit more into some other concrete floor services you mentioned like stenciling, and see how else we could improve the visual aspect of our basement!
