Maybe your garage or mudroom floors are starting to look drab, or (even worse!) they don’t look like much of anything at all. But you don’t need to stress—it’s easy to breathe new life into any concrete floor with a fresh coat of paint. 

And there are so many more colors you can use to design your concrete floors. We’ve listed some of the most popular paint colors you can use to help you make your final decision.

1. Warm Shades

Trying to cultivate a cozy, positive vibe? Warm colors are often associated with happiness, so a warm, mood-boosting paint hue could be the very thing your home needs.

Paint your concrete floors a warm orange, red, yellow, or even a combination of colors. It’ll instantly make the space brighter and stand out—especially if your walls are a contrasting cool color or neutral hue. 

Reliable classic warm paints include:

2. Neutral Shades

You may think bland or boring when you hear the word “neutral,” but given the right aesthetic, neutral paint can stand out in a room. For instance, if you’re painting a floor in a room where the decor is all bright colors, a neutral shade will tie the space together in an eye-pleasing way that isn’t overwhelming. 

Neutrals can also create a clean, open look and complement a room’s aesthetic. Neutrals consist of beige, gray, and a combination of the two: greige paint. Other examples of neutral shades include ivory, taupe, and shades of white.

Opting to paint your concrete floors a classic white can add a dramatic flair to any room. White paint can also make a small room feel bigger—such as a mudroom—or it can help add brightness to a previously dim or shadowy space.

Here’s a decorating tip: If you have an eclectic collection of furniture and art pieces, a white floor can help tie together the mix of different textures, colors, and patterns.

4. Cool Shades

Cool colors include blues, greens, purples, blacks, and whites with cool undertones. Cool paints tend to be associated with the outdoors since the specific hues—blues and greens—are those you may find in nature.

In addition, cool colors are a good choice if you want to make a smaller room seem bigger since these colors are typically associated with wide-open spaces.
