You will surely have noticed that more and more spaces incorporate brick-covered walls and surfaces into their design. This decoration technique gives an amazing effect to the space. It's a different fashion aesthetic, where comfort meets modern ingenuity.
The truth is that brick is one of the materials that can give warmth and hospitality to a space and at the same time create a very special decor. It fits many styles, such as rustic, chic and industrial.
Exposed brick immediately makes a space beautiful and timeless, regardless of the furniture. By incorporating them into the decoration of our home, we generously give special character and an unpretentious charm to every interior space, creating a special and sophisticated atmosphere.
It is a trend that manages to combine charm, tradition, and modernist tones in a unique way to give identity, interest, and depth to any space. And when the brick decoration pre-exists, then the beauty multiplies, as the history of each building or space is highlighted, marrying the past with the present.
Brick walling first appeared – as a cheap solution – in the late 1900s. However, in modern architecture and modern interior design, it is consciously chosen as a technique that complements or stars in the desired effect.
Despite the fact that bricks are the most popular choice in industrial decoration, in essence it is a technique that can fit perfectly into all styles. Depending on the texture, color and wear, they suit vintage, minimal or country decor, but also Scandinavian and shabby chic.
If you prefer to keep the industrial style in your space, it would be good to emphasize metallic details, while using bare lamps, nickel linings, steel beams and exposed. Ideally, the decoration with bricks on the walls is combined with wooden floors or cement floors and wild surfaces reminiscent of a factory or a warehouse.
However, in the case where there is a more minimal aesthetic in the decoration, the use of brick can give a special touch, so that it acquires depth and dimension. The shades you can give to the brick are white, matte or even glossy, to keep the background neutral and discreet. For country, vintage or shabby chic decor you can choose more faded and worn bricks in texture and color to give your space a rustic charm.
So wherever you live, you only have to choose to allow a brick wall in your space and let it make its appearance stealing the show and impressing your guests!
