Though most of us reside in houses made almost entirely out of bricks, it’s rare to find any exposed brick within our homes. This has begun to change in recent years, as people have found various styles of brickwork that can add so much more character to a home’s interior.
We’ve broken down five of the best options on the market to guide you through this latest development in interior design.
Brick flooring
Brick flooring actually provides excellent temperature conditions for your home, keeping you cool during the summer, whilst providing even distribution of heat with underfloor heating. If you can get used to the slightly more uneven nature of brick flooring as opposed to wood, you’ll add some real warmth to your home.
Exposed brick wall
As we said, bricks are no strangers to the exteriors of our homes, but seeing them inside used to indicate an incomplete construction. Luckily, the specially designed exposed brick walls we see today are a far cry from the dusty and crumbled brick you’d see inside an old warehouse.
Brick backsplash
Kitchens are often cold and austere, with most of the warmth coming from the stove and oven. Adding a brick backsplash to the kitchen can imbue it with a rustic warmth that’ll make you want to get in there and start cooking. If you need advice or services, or you’re just curious about a kitchen refurb, you can find them at thekitchenrefurbishmentcompany.co.uk.
Outdoors
We don’t just mean your actual house, but rather, brickwork in your garden. For example, a BBQ project can add a touch of elegance to your home’s outside space. It’s also highly practical for any gardening you’d like to do, as raised flower beds made with brickwork can add further protection from slugs or snails.
Dividers
Sometimes you don’t want to tear down the wallpaper – or the wall. Introducing a brick arch to divide up larger rooms a little can add so much depth to your house, making it feel larger and lived-in, whilst also adding a touch of urban chic.
