What kind of paint do you need for a concrete-look wall?
Posted on: 16-09-2021
A concrete-look wall gives atmosphere to your interior. A raw edge that fits in many interiorstyles. We have created several concrete-look walls in our house and I'm going to tell you exactly how we do that!
I always work with Marrakech Walls from Pure & Original to create a concrete look. Marrakech Walls can be mixed in any colour from their colour brochure at a reseller and in this case we chose the Evening Shadow colour. A very nice gray paint that you can use perfectly as a base colour for your interior.
We went to work in our bedroom. Our main board was also painted in this gray paint colour, but in a matte wall paint. If you combine two types of paint on 1 wall, it gives a very nice ton-sur-ton effect.
Required paint materials for a concrete look wall
- WallPrim Pro from Pure & Original. This is a water-dilutable wall primer for indoors and you can mix it in the same colour as the Marrakech Walls paint. Ask the dealer how much paint you need.
- Marrakech Walls wall paint from Pure & Original. You can also mix this in the colour of your choice. Ask the dealer how much paint you need.
- The Marrakech Walls spatula
- Paint trays, good masking tape, a block brush, a wall roller suitable for water-based paint, newspapers/trash bags to protect the floor

Step-by-step plan for making a concrete look wall
- Tape the walls with the masking tape and protect the floor
- Apply the WallPrim Pro with a fur roller. Let this coat of paint dry for a few hours
- Now you can get started with the Marrakech Walls paint. It is easiest to do this with two people, but you can also do it alone. Apply a "thick" layer of Marrakech Walls paint to the wall with the block brush. The second person, or yourself, immediately gets to work with the spatula.
Then it is a matter of letting it dry. While the concrete wall is drying, the colours and smudges still change and it really needs 24 hours of drying time to see the end result of your diy concrete wall.
