Brick Beauty

Exposed brick walls have become a popular feature in interior design, but this isn’t the first time we’ve seen this trend which first kicked into popularity towards the end of the Nineties and shows no sign of diminishing.  

Now with new interesting techniques, this particular design feature has evolved and is increasingly making its way into more of our homes to create that unique gritty, earthy feel.

At first the brick look was popular in small doses and was mainly used for fireplaces and surrounds, but soon spread into the living, dining, kitchen and sleeping areas.  Bare brick is a statement piece in its own right; it can be simplistic and yet add real depth, character and rustic charm to a space.  Warm and textural, it stands alone in the way a white wall doesn't.  The architectural beauty of bricks inside the home cannot be denied, and whether it’s just an element or an entire façade - remember ‘less is more’.

It is amazing how brick interiors can change the entire feel and look of a room.  By using different hues, textures and colours, you can create a contemporary look with a country style twist and vice versa.  So whatever your style, modern or classic, you can find and create the space that is right for you.

So if you’re lucky enough to live in a home which already has the natural beauty of exposed brick work, then like high cheek bones, use it to your advantage!!
