Greetings!
 The kitchen isn't the only place in the home that can be transformed with concrete countertops. They are equally spectacular in bathrooms, especially when combined with a concrete sink. Realtors say that the return on investment for remodeling a bathroom is as much as 80% to 90%. Concrete is an ideal material for bathroom remodels because it offers all the benefits of a solid surface -- luxury, durability, and easy care -- along with unlimited creative options. See these ideas for using concrete to create a bathroom that adds real value and style to the homes of your clients.

Bring on the Color
One of the big selling points for concrete vanities and sinks is the
vast array of colors available. In addition to standard colors, offer
your clients custom hues that match or complement other materials in
the bathroom.
For color ideas, see our photo gallery of concrete sinks and vessels.

Add an Elegant Edge Treatment
One of the best features of concrete countertops and vanities is that
you can produce almost any edge treatment the customer fancies, from a
bevel to a bullnose. Shapely, intricate edge details are easy to create
with special forms or molds. See these edge detail forming options.

Coordinate the Look
With concrete, it's easy to coordinate colors and styles.You can design
a concrete vanity that complements the bathroom floor, walls or other
decorative elements. Or you can base the design on a theme, such as
this 1920s apothecary look or this contemporary floating trough design with a matching tub surround.
