I must also admit that I have fallen for the style of exposed concrete. Unfortunately, I do not have the opportunity to realize this in a new build, as I am renovating an old property (built in 1961). However, since a larger new wall is going to be erected, I am interested in whether there might be a way to incorporate such an exposed concrete wall. (Maybe there are methods I haven’t thought of or am not aware of yet, but that are still possible.)
The color-trowel solutions can look nice from a distance but are clearly recognizable as “fake” up close. I have considered thin cast panels that I could attach to the wall, but I am still unclear on how this could be implemented.

There are now filling systems that look very realistic even up close, using mineral plaster and texture foil.
I’m not sure if there is any panel material available. However, I see a structural issue and you would end up with unattractive joints.
I’ve seen a wall made with texture foil before. Even up close, you can’t tell whether it’s real or not.
If we didn’t have concrete walls, I would go for that.

I have a fair-faced concrete ceiling on the ground floor that was repaired and treated due to defects, so it’s no longer true fair-faced concrete. However, the appearance is excellent, and there are companies that offer this kind of work.
Keywords you can look for are: concrete retouching, concrete cosmetics, béton ciré.
The manufacturer Carameo also offers putty systems, but you’ll have to judge their quality yourself. In our case, the fair-faced concrete ceiling was ground, partially repaired, and then uniformly treated with a tinted but transparent glaze to achieve a fair-faced concrete look. No putty was applied.
I like it.

If we didn’t have concrete walls, I would consider using it. You might want to get advice from a good specialist company. If it’s done well, it really can’t be noticed.
