What does your home mean to you? It is the place in which we take refuge, right? Our house combines the area in which we can be ourselves and, at the same time, it acts as a wall to protect us from external issues, in one way or another. For this reason, it is essential to find the perfect decoration that allows us to provide the necessary warmth and harmony to the home. If you are looking for a combination of materials that gives your rooms a unique, differentiating and welcoming style, the microcement and natural wood duo make up the perfect tandem.
Wood is a highly recognized material by all. In fact, it is present in all its aspects, in most interior finishes or decorations. Providing, as a main characteristic, a feeling of peace and warmth in any room or area, thus guaranteeing our comfort.
In addition, ready-to-use microcement is a decorative coating that gives sophistication to any type of project. The continuity offered by this element and the ability to achieve seamless wall and floor finishes make it the ideal material to combine with wood in the search for personalization and adaptability to our ornamental tastes.
Find out, along with Cementec, why the combination of microcement and wood represents a unique, attractive and differentiating opportunity for you and your home.
Success finishes: Microcement and natural wood, ideal team
Remember that microcement is a type of coating that can be applied to any type of firm and strength surface, except to two of them: metal and wood. In other words, despite the fact that they are two visual elements that go together and are complementary, we will not be able to cover or apply microcement on wooden floors. Unless, it is a countertop, bench or wooden walls, which, in these cases, will be possible.
The reality is that wood and microcement are materials that can coexist together. Both materials have different values and qualities in terms of their hardness, touch and colour that, when combined, are stylish.

Add a modern, fresh, soft and warm touch to your home
Now that you already have some information on the subject and, after having an initial conviction that has led you here, surely you are starting to get an idea of what you want. But, in case it is still not clear to you, Cementec would like to give you a series of tips on how to combine microcement and natural wood to obtain a modern, fresh, soft and warm finish in any room of your home.
Tips for decorating rooms with wood
- The Nordics were the pioneers and made it fashionable. Use wood, wicker or rattan as one of the pillars of your decorative style in furniture (tables, shelves, chairs, etc.). Make your space a warm and comfortable place.
- Opt for elegant details and minimalist colours to create a relaxed atmosphere in your home. If you don’t want to opt for colour, stick to raw materials in different textures. Whether crochet, knit or macramé.
- Choose sofas in neutral tones. Change the cushions depending on the season or time of year for completely different effects. If you are a bit lazier, you can choose to play with overlays.
- Combine all of the above with lamps and warm lighting surrounding the space to create different atmospheres or scenarios in which you can relax.
- Have fun and decorate your room with table centrepieces or sideboards wrapped in a set of candles and stoneware ceramic elements. The key is to play with the chromatic range of a single colour and with the different heights and sizes of the elements.
- Finish off the room with rugs, natural materials and plants, to make the environment a complete and welcoming whole.
How to combine both materials on different surfaces: real examples
Let’s see below, examples of works and reforms carried out in reality, combining these elements with all their specifications and advantages of opting for this duo of materials that give the feeling of naturalness to each room in the home.
Microcement and natural wood bathrooms
Microcement and natural wood bathrooms are on the rise. Opting for ready-to-use microcement to cover the floor and bet on tropical woods in the furniture is one of the options. Although there is also the opposite pole, choose a parquet floor and cover the walls along with our decorative cement. Whatever you choose, these combinations are designed for lovers of classic and elegant designs.
Perhaps you do not want to overload the space with wood, in fact, it is not necessary to achieve that warm feeling that we talk about so much. If you opt for this option, you can always put wood in small parts of the bathroom. For example, a tray for the bathtub, a shelf for intimate hygiene or toilet products, and even shelves for towels.
The essence is in the small details. And if, in addition, those small details are made of wood, you will be able to reinforce the natural touch that complements our ready-to-use microcement. Create a greater feeling of spaciousness and play with continuous surfaces. If you still can’t find reasons to opt for microcement and wood bathrooms, don’t miss this article.
