10 exposed brick walls that will inspire your creativity.
Are exposed brick walls outdated? The first time I saw an exposed brick wall, my mother and I had gone to visit her Uncle up-country. Her Uncle lived in a house that was built in British colonial era in Fort Hall, present day Murang’a County.
The sight of an exposed brick wall amazed me as well as confused me. To me, it seemed the home was unfinished. Something must have happened and the constructors were unable to finish building. However, I loved the unfinished look. There was something unique about it that I did not see in other homes; in our home. That sight stayed with me to this day.
Exposed brick wall is a trend just like any other, so I wouldn’t be too quick to call it outdated. More often than not, exposed bricks are usually incorporated in Farmhouse and Industrial themed spaces. They create the feeling of texture, warmth, rustic and originality. In a nutshell, I’d say exposed brick walls have a historic-eclectic style.
Exposed brick walls look best on one featured wall; an accent wall. An accent wall that is well thought of and tastefully styled, has great merit and is more than enough. Here are 10 rooms with exposed brick walls that will have your creative juices flowing.
