Concrete wall and loft bed project

In the living room I wanted to create a fake concrete wall looking something like this:

The plan was to create the concrete wall out of different layers of  grey filler but then I came across this blog where a “Betong” color from Hornbach is used

After painted the wall with the “Betong” color and the “toner”, I thought the tone was a bit too dark. I “washed” the wall with very diluted white color until I got the right tone.

Added lines to give the impression of joints and made some holes that was filled with the Betong color.

Next step was to build a loft bed out of pipes and fittings/clamps.
