Transform Your Walls: DIY Concrete Look Tutorial - garden kitchen

Want to transform your walls with a sleek, modern concrete look? In this video, I show you how I updated the interior of my outdoor garden kitchen with a stunning DIY concrete finish. From prepping the surface to applying filler and sealing for a durable, heat-resistant, and UV-protected result, I take you step by step through the entire process. Perfect for areas like an outdoor kitchen with high heat exposure, this technique creates a stylish, industrial-inspired vibe that’s also practical.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this video:
✅ How to prepare surfaces like aerated concrete blocks and OSB boards for a flawless finish.
✅ The mixing and application of a special spackling compound using a unique spatula technique.
✅ Tips on blending light and dark putty for a natural, textured effect.
✅ How to apply a durable sealant for waterproof, wipeable, and heat-resistant walls.
✅ Insights into creating a breathable and long-lasting surface for outdoor or kitchen spaces.

The result? A smooth, industrial-style wall that’s not only beautiful but functional—repelling dirt, moisture, and heat for easy maintenance. This technique is perfect for any outdoor kitchen or high-use area, and I also share some practical tips to get into those tricky corners and edges.
