Tried, True, and Loved: Our Most Popular Concrete Finishes

Over time, certain finishes have emerged as go-to choices across residential and commercial projects. Whether selected for their depth, softness, or ability to complement a wide range of materials, they’ve become familiar sights in spaces ranging from desert retreats to coastal patios. More than just color, each tone brings a unique character—interacting with light, texture, and surroundings in its own way. From soft neutrals to bold shadowed hues, these finishes continue to stand out for their versatility and visual balance.

Here’s a look at four of our most loved concrete finishes—and the environments that bring out their best.

Ivory

Slight cream undertones warm up this modern shade of white, giving ivory its quietly architectural presence. Bright without feeling stark, it brings clarity and softness to a wide range of environments—from sunlit courtyards to moody terraces.

Inkwell

A soft black that exudes effortless yet impactful style. Inkwell brings a sense of quiet drama to any setting, offering depth and contrast without overwhelming the space. It’s a finish that makes a statement—subtle, sculptural, and enduring.

Charcoal

A handsome and versatile dark grey, Charcoal adds depth without distraction. It anchors a space visually—pairing just as well with gravel and steel as it does with greenery or natural wood.

Clay

A calming greige that flatters both warm and cool color schemes. Clay brings a subtle earthiness that feels grounded but not heavy, offering an adaptable foundation for everything from sleek modern patios to more organic, textured settings.

What Makes a Finish Enduring?

It’s not just about color. It’s about how a finish responds to light, space and material. These four have earned their place in countless projects not because they’re the “right” choice—but because they can be the right choice in so many different ways.
