THE EXPOSED BRICKWALL
Brickwalls and modern interiors – one would definitely imagine that they would be incompatible with one another.

Modern living rooms with an accent brickwall is a hot trend that is not going away anytime soon. If you happen to live in an apartment, loft or a private residence where bricks walls are all covered up then it is time to peel away the covering and let the original brickwork shine through. The color and style of brickwork can make a big difference in the overall appeal of the living room and in the case of some spaces painting them white is a safe and smart option. This keeps the backdrop distinctly neutral while adding texture to the room.
The classic red brickwall always seems at home in contemporary living rooms where the rest of the interior is neutral and uncluttered as possible. This gives the living room an aesthetic look even while turning the brickwall into a true showstopper! The exposed brick wall offers a lovely and vibrant backdrop that can allow you to display cherished pieces of art collected over the years of even your favorite family photographs. With the right lighting, décor and accessories an exposed brick wall in the living room can be far more visually appealing as it lets the furniture in the natural shade shine through.
Ultimately the exposed brickwall and the industrial look go hand in glove and with the continued trend of the reuse of materials and structures in the home renovation space, the exposed brickwall is definitely here to stay. Coupled with exposed duct pipes and large metallic window frames and smart lighting, this creates the perfect living room for those who appreciate the industrial look.
As you can see the exposed brickwall is very much on trend not just in the kitchen but also in the living spaces too. There is a particular earthy warmth an exposed brickwall adds to a living
room, and it suits a variety of decorating styles ranging rustic country to industrial streamlined chic.
