<p><strong>Excerpted from <em>One Material, Infinite Styles</em>: </strong>Concrete's use in kitchens and bathrooms may still be considered relatively "modern" design-wise by the standard homeowner. But while concrete can be used to create a modern or minimal look, it's also perfectly adaptable to a more traditional setting—where it was so extensively used in the first place. In truth, there are no standard guidelines that, if followed, will guarantee you'll get a certain look. All "styles" are really just an amalgamation of details that evoke a certain feeling when used together. <a href="http://www.concreteexchange.com/design-notes/" target="_self" title="Fu-Tung Cheng articles">Read more Design Notes by Fu-Tung Cheng >></a></p>
