For our latest lookbook, we've rounded up eight bedrooms where exposed concrete surfaces add character to their minimalist interiors.

While bedrooms are often designed with a warm-toned material palette, this roundup offers a different approach – showcasing bedrooms sat on a backdrop of  concrete surfaces ranging from rough and textured to smooth and sleek.

Among this list of projects is a bedroom wrapped in rippled concrete walls in a Melbourne home and another encased by board-marked concrete walls in an open-plan Tokyo home.

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen's archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring homes that feature tactile plywood panelling, homes where staircases fulfil additional functions, and interiors where gridded ceilings serve as a decorative element.
