- I’m showing you how I did an industrial cement wall the easiest way, in 30 minutes, for only $25. Every tutorial for concrete wall I watched was so hard, with so many steps to follow. So, I decided to try and create a concrete wall look for less, and in 1 day, using only 1 product, in only 1 coat. And here's how I did it.
The results were amazing, I am beyond happy with how it turned out!

This woman has courage.
Thanks 🥰
Will try this!! I've got an ugly wall after a lot of shelves and other things. Too lazy to fix all the holes. This method will erase everything 😂 I'll go for this. Will search for products right away 👍👍👍 Thank you for the inspiration ❤️❤️✨✨✨🙌
Yes!! 🥰 Do it! 🫶
Wow!😮 I love how it turned out at the end😍 Can't believe you did this in just one day! Now I'm tempted to try it on one of my bedroom walls😃
So happy to hear you like it!! 🤗💖 And yes, go for it!
don't you dare do that. Post a video.
Love how this came out! By any chance was there any cracking or flaking how did it hold up?
Looks great! U can get the same look using drywall mudd. 2/3 the color paint color 1/3 drywall mudd
WOOOOOOWWW, looks beautifullllll. Good job. Do you think one can add a colour, to make it darker or lighter or more beige
So glad you like it 🥰 I know that you can paint it afterwards, but maybe you can do it beforehand too. Haven't tried that yet
Can we still hang shelves over the concrete? Will it chip off or require concrete drill bit etc?
Beautiful job, it is so high end and classy looking. You made it look so easy, but I would never attempt it on my oown. You remind me of another great painter Sasha. She is so artistic and creative just like you Mon. Thank you for sharing this video with us. 😊 l
You could use a ladder. Maybe some plastic milk crates?
Yes, I should. I used a small ikea ladder, but I should have found something taller for sure 😅
Definitely want to have a plaster or lime wash wall in my future.. currently renting.. great job on the concrete wall!
Me too! I havento try out limewash but it's a bit pricey tbh. Will try to DIY something 🤗💕
@@HomeByMon Limewash is pretty expensive. Try using 2 different shades like uuli gray and lava. You will need muslin/ cheese cloth. Instance, use gray as base 2 coats preferably and then lava paint doing in small sections and using muslin cloth for dabbing sometimes in circular motion for lime wash effect.
Looks amazing, but wondering, since it’s been 7 months, how is this stuff keeping up? Does it not start crumbling? 😮
Not a single crack 🤗 It's holding up so well, it honestly looks better as time passes by 💕
@@HomeByMon really cool, thanks :))
I would think that’s just cement as concrete contains sand and gravel.
Tomorrow is my turn do this 😂😂😂thanks for the video it was very helpful
My mom wants the same thing in her house. I’m thinking that I can do it…. Is the material the same as cement ? Or is it a different material to give the finish of cement?
I think it is a bit different. It's more easy to work with and way smoother than cement. You can ask your local supply stores about a product for walls that's goving that cement look. Mine was called "Concrete Look". But if you're trying it out with cement, let me know how it turned out ☺️💕
I enjoyed that. Good result at the end.
Please buy a ladder.
Glad you like it ☺️
Looks wonderful but I have to ask if adding 20kgs to a plasterboard will add stress to the wall?
Hmm I am not sure 🤔 We should maybe talk to a professional. This was a brick wall, not a drywall.
Definitely not. It's a small amount of weight distributed over a large area.

@homebyMon Do you think that this product can be used on cupboard doors?
Great job, didnt u use a protection coat ?
I didn't use a protective coat. It was optional ☺️
@@HomeByMon it is wonderful 👍, and ur approch : work , record, édit post is just wonderful
Thank you do much for all ur efforts ♥️ 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🤚🏻🙏🏻
I'm pretty sure you're supposed to sand and then use a concrete sealer on it, no?
Yes you can do that, but you don't have to ☺️
Thank you. That was very helpful
I would like to put this on my wall in thicker perorations to make a faux stone wall Would that work , if the concrete mixture was thicker?
I think it would work ☺️
So beautiful! I love concrete and also Lime wash! Was it really as easy as it looked or did you have to keep going over it? Any particular technique or did you literally just wing it?
Me too! I love concrete and I love limewash since it reminds me of concrete 😅
And I literally just went with it, randomly applying the mixture. However, I was trying to change directions all the time and at the end I went over the places I thought were not as textured as I wanted them to be ☺️
Do you have to paint the wall whote before you put the cement or it dosent matter as long as the wall is clean and smoths
No, you don't, however, you have to add primer ☺️
if you sat on your friends shoulders, you would have had an easier time reaching the ceiling line. looks cool.
Hahaha yes 🤣
Amazing, i like your simple way of explaining how to do that!! Keep going on !!
Awww thank you 🤗💕✨
I was skeptical at first, but I ❤ how it came out. Cheers!
So glad you like it ☺️💕
I would adore DIY limewash paint for my flat ❤️
Will do! 💯☑️
@@HomeByMon Thank you so much. And wonderful content as always, cheered me up :)
@@joshmiller7777 So happy you like it! 🤗
This looks sooo good!❤️
Yay!! So glad you like it 🤗💕
Hi , I did my concrete walls in my bedroom 2 weeks ago but I still can't sleep in my room because the smell is so strong .. do you have any tips how to help the smell, my windows been open since but it doesn't seem to be helping . hopefully someone can help me.
Oh no 😥 I'm so sorry to hear you are having troubles with the smell 😔 From what I've read, you can try sprinkle the wall with a light dusting of the baking soda and let it sit overnight. The soda will naturally deodorize the floor and pull the excess moisture, which is typically the cause of the damp smell, out of the concrete. Hope this will help ✌️
I'm doing this on my shower wall but I can't get the right consistency of the cement down:/
That's such a great idea for a shower wall!! 🙌
Did you read the instructions on your package? I used the exact amount of water that was suggested on the package and it worked.
Yes pleeeeaase do lime wash!! 😍🫶
Will do!! ☺️💕
Love it! But you need a taller ladder girl! 🤣😂🤣
Oh yes I do 😂😅🤦🏼♀️
Thanks for sharing this was an awesome video.
So happy you like it 🥰💕
Beautiful work ❤
Thank you so much 🥰
I'd use some sort of reddish die and make it terracotta
Uuu nice idea ☺️
Outstanding!
So glad you like it 🥰
Great job😍😍
Thanks 🥰
May I paint this material on not? Thank you’
I think you can. But I'm not sure 😅 I will look into it and let you know ☺️💕
Yes with water based concrete paint
Why need to primer it before applying the cement
Priming the wall before you do anything, helps with adhesion in general. It preps the surface and makes sure any dust that's collected is removed and the walls are ready to stick in the compound better. It's optional, but I always do it 😉
Can we use normal cement?
How do you remove when your bored of it?
Uuu honestly I have no idea 😅 Maybe you plaster over it and make it flat again ☺️
This wall looks better than a limewash paint...
So glad you like it!!
What cement mix did you use??
I have it linked into the description box :)
you might gave same effect by using drywall mud with fine sand mixed in it and paint it with concrete gray paint... Why search for special product? Its hard to reproduce the look of concrete when its cast in a form with a trowel. The trowel marks give it away it it looks like bad scratch coat and unfinished project...
I was thinking about drywall mud, however I was a bit scared it might crack overtime.
Curious if she pressed a plastic sheet and then pushed down with high marks with a trowel method
can that be polished to mirror shining
Could you have done in another colour, like adding specific shades or tones to the mixture? I want to do the walls this way, plus add some plaster art, but not in concrete grey colour.
or maybe after concrete's dry, use limewash with colour, idk, any cleverer suggestions?
@@ninylilac yes! you can absolutely paint it afterwards, or pigment the cement ☺️ however I would always talk to the people who sell the cement, so they can suggest what's the smartest thing to do for a specific brand 🫶
@@HomeByMonThat's for sure. But I'll definitely try it with Maxima! 🙂
Great work!
Thanks girl 😚💞
Hi Mon. So sorry, the other painter's name isKacha NOT Sasha.
I like idea but would rather have a smoother finish
You could definitely go over it with a sanding grid 🥰
Hey guys can anyone tell me what is a paint primer?
Sure 🥰 That's actually a mixture you put on the wall so that the paint stick to it better ☺️ You can ask your local paint store for a wall primer 🫶
@@HomeByMon thx! That was helpful ❤
That'll crack all over. Or you need to use mesh underneath.
It's been almost a year, and there is not a single crack in the wall. It holds up so well :)
Omg she literally used real concrete that’s not going to hold no way the Sheetrock will get wet and might literally peel off. It looks beautiful she did a wonderful job idk if she’s in the USA and we use different stuff to bold our walls. But she did it so light and looked thick . Ugh I want to do my living room walls so bad I’m scared . If you read this love bug I’m Danny my living room walls are painted right know primed and I have concrete here Idk . I wanted to do this but use joint compound and add a higher gloss black then flat gray and mix it into my 20 gallon bucket of compound. At Home Depot they have 20$ big big pre mixed joint compound 20 gallon buckets that’s cheep and I have the paint . And then I could spray a sealant over it even flat or semi gloss layer ugh I need you . Move to Florida lol I need a friend I’m like the only gay person who has no friends because all I do is work on our house lol
Hey, it's been 1 year and there's not a single crack on this wall and it still looks beautiful. I think this is not real concrete, however. This is a mixture similar to concrete but it's for decorative purposes. Also, I live in Europe and the walls are basically drywall. I was thinking of recreating this look with something else. My first thought was using tile adhesive. You can also find it in grey, or just do it white and then paint it grey to look like concrete ☺️
What’s the brand you used ?
Yes you can use green joint compound as "cement" add colorant & then seal it with polyacrilic i sprayed mine on but had to plastic everything off if you brush it on it leaves brush marks 3 coats I used ultra flat came out awesome
It’s not real concrete, it is a plaster cement base, that’s why she could use it that way, like a plaster
Hi, we live here in the United States. We actually use cement and did our backsplash in our kitchen and some of our interior walls in our kitchen and it looks great!
I would start top and work your way down.
Yes, you might be right about that one 😅 Will try it next time 💞
@@HomeByMonor think about using a ladder
@@vflytrap7158 oh yes 😅
Note to self: "taller ladder"..
YES! 😂
the arm strength and height you need for this DIY😂
Hahahah yes! I didn't have a ladder, so I used the Ikea step stool and I could barely touch the ceiling 🤣😅 But it worked
huh
🪄🏡✨💨
Elek no nde
30 minutes my ass 🤦🏻♀️😂
the video about how white clean wall turn to a peace of grey crap
Sorry you didn't like it 😔
Very bad job
Thanks 😅
No trying to offend you, but that wall is a mess.
It is not aesthetically pleasing at all and, from a technical point of view....is a disaster.
The concrete effect requires a lot of experience and skills.
And requires better products.
Maybe you are right, I am not a pro whatsoever 😅 But my friend loves it, and honestly I loved the outcome too. It is far from perfect, however, I believe in finding beauty in imperfections.
@@HomeByMon I do not love when people try to edulcorate reality. There is big different between imperfection snd ugliness.
the result of your work is not imperfect, is ugly. Sorry but I am honest. That living room was a lot nicer before. Presto.
@@raffaelecorrente1123 All that matters in the end is if the client is happy. And she is so happy. So I am happy too ☺️ And honestly, we have different perceptions of beautiful and ugly. Thank you for comment 💕
@Raffaele I think it would be helpful if you learnt how to properly articulate your criticism in a constructive manner. It's difficult to read your comment in a way that would be valuable to them going forward.
@Mon for what it's worth - I think you did a great job. Much more importantly, your client and you were satisfied. You've also handled this particular critiscm very gracefully. I hope you continue to grow and I am sure you will go far! Keep it up 💪👊
@@CheesemanXCV Thank you so much! ☺️ i really appreciate your comment!
Be humble and stop pushing your job.
this is not an EASY way to create a concrete accent.
This is the WRONG way.
And in fact the end result is a disaster.
That is not a concrete accent, that is a dirty wall.
Other people follow an hard way to create a concrete accent wall because are stupid od masochistic? Or because that hard way is the right way?
peppole making compliment are liars (she is blonde and nice so she deserves a compliment) or blinds.
Thank you so much for commenting ☺️
I personally loved it, and that's all that matters. I loved it so much that I'm recreating in my own home 🤗 All the best to you 💕
The people making these nasty comments should get off this site. The wall is beautiful with highlights, the way they wanted it . 😊
@@HomeByMon Pay no mind, this is what we call: a troll. It will only keep on going the BS. Just ignore :)
