Brickwork in the interior - examples of contrast practicality

The use of bricks for interior decoration became a trend in the middle of the last century, when many industrial buildings were converted into residential spaces. It was much easier to leave the non-trivial industrial aesthetics to dominate the interior design than to spend a lot of time and money on processing brick walls. Currently, the reorganization of production facilities into residential buildings and apartments does not have such a stormy popularity, but the style of lofts is present in many modern rooms.

The use of brickwork or its imitation in the modern design of apartments and households allows you to bring a little brutality, rampant and courage to any room. It is not necessary to live in a loft in order to use this design technique to introduce originality into the interior of a home. Here are some examples of how you can brightly, unobtrusively and tastefully use brickwork in the design of various residential premises.

Thanks to modern technologies for the production of finishing materials, you can create an imitation of a brick wall in any color, texture and size. The use of this type of surface finish in the bedroom allows you to create a sense of novelty.

Very often, in the bedrooms, the surface in the form of brickwork is a wall at the head of the bed. The reddish-gray shades of the brick fit perfectly with the wooden flooring and serve as an excellent backdrop for decorative elements.

Sometimes a brick wall is designed to contrast with the rest of the bedroom. In this case, it becomes the focal point of the room around which the whole design concept is embedded.

The spacious premises of these bedrooms are fully consistent with the style of the loft, and not only the brickwork is proof of this, but also high ceilings, huge industrial windows, the presence of pipes and beams for industrial purposes.

In this small bedroom, red-red shades of brick were repeated in textiles, creating a surprisingly harmonious combination of brutality with naivety and meekness.

Real brickwork can be painted in any color. It is not surprising that most designers in this case resort to light shades and most often to snow-white. This is the case when it is necessary to expand the space, to give it freshness, but to maintain a feeling of raw surfaces.

It happens that the idea of ​​the designer does not stop at the implementation of only one wall in the "brick" style. The whole room in an unusual and rough finish is suitable for truly bold originals, creative natures and large aesthetes.

The living room, in which "brick" design techniques are used, is usually full of contrasts. But after all, a common room for the rest of the whole family or gatherings with friends should raise the mood, keep household members in good shape and inspire.

Brick walls of dark deep shades, snow-white windows and furniture, bright decor elements - everything in this living room is filled with contrast and dynamism.

The monochrome living room with white painted brick walls and dark to black interior items amazes and discourages at the same time.

In such living rooms, no one will be bored. Here already brick walls act as a backdrop for bright, saturated colors of decor and unusual design finds.

Often the use of brickwork as a way of decorating walls is used for zoning a room without resorting to doors or partitions.

Even for indoor use in excess humidity, the use of bricks remains advisable. An artificial material that imitates brick, and most often produced in the idea of ​​tiles, has high moisture resistance. And a real brick wall can be treated with special varnishes or waterproof emulsions. As a result, the homeowner can get the color and texture at will.
