The reason bricks are increasingly used to decorate the walls in living rooms is understandable: this technique helps to create a relaxed, slightly grungy environment with a special charm. In addition, brick is a very effective material, practical and durable, and its use in the living room space has been a fashion trend over the past few years.

Judging by the increasing popularity of brickwork in interior decoration and a variety of positive feedback about it, as the most stylish way to decorate walls, you can be sure that a room with a similar wall surface is a real and future trend in design.

In the 90s of the twentieth century, bricking the walls in a room was considered bad manners, and generally unacceptable for residential interiors. Further, over time, this material began to be used in the design of public institutions with a thematic interior.

By the way, instead of a simple brick, they used fake diamond in the form of thin and narrow tiles, often of sand, gray or terracotta color, which covered the walls not completely, but only its protruding parts (pseudo columns, openings, portals). But the tribute to fashion soon passed, and the impression of such a design remained vague and unclear.

Today, the most influential designers and architects use brickwork in their projects, while emphasizing that the wall decoration should look natural, therefore, the selected section of the wall is decorated completely from floor to ceiling. It seems as if the brick surface was discovered during renovation works, and decided to preserve its beautiful natural texture in the interior.

Rustication

Rusting or rusticism is the cladding of the outer walls of a building or some areas on it with rectangular, tightly fitted stones, the front side of which is left unpolished or roughly hewn. Interestingly, in the urban conditions of Ancient Rome, rusticism was of practical importance: it effectively isolated the first floors of the building from moisture and noise.

Rusting should be used in the interior design of the living room, especially if the wall adjacent to the neighboring apartment allows all the noise from the outside to pass through. Plus, coarse simple masonry looks very colorful and can be a great contrast to furniture with a graceful silhouette.

Flip wall

This way of using brickwork looks original, for a moment making you wonder whether you are indoors or outdoors. It is recommended to use bricks for cladding walls with windows, laying out the tiles in such a way as to simulate the external design of the building: to emphasize openings, protruding parts and niches.

Rustication

Emphasized monumentality

If there are static partitions in the living room, their surface can be covered with masonry of chipped bricks or thin stone tiles with a pronounced texture.

In the interior of a spacious living room, this design looks very unusual, and, moreover, helps to diversify the minimalist design, focusing on an ordinary, initially boring wall.

Attention: portal

If there is a real fireplace in the living room, its electrical counterpart or a pseudo-portal, then you should be creative in decorating it, because the heart of the room cannot be left unattended.

Brick or masonry is the most organic addition to the hearth, even if it serves only a decorative function. So, in the furnace of a pseudo fireplace, decorated with brick tiles, you can put candles or lamps with lampshades - the light will emphasize the relief and create fancy shadows on the wall surface.

Background with character

Smooth brickwork, used to decorate one, but large wall, is what is needed for various objects and objects with a pronounced texture to appear more effectively against its background.
So, mirrors of simple geometric shapes with or without frames on a wall lined with rough brick look beautiful and incredibly stylish. Also, original designer floor lamps will stand out strikingly, desk lamp or sconces, as well as modern painting in the technique of volumetric acrylic.

Pure and white

Snow-white or cream-colored brickwork is so versatile that it can organically fit into many living room interior design styles, from classic to modern. Within the walls clothed in white brick, you can create an atmosphere of light ease, dreamy boho, soulful provence or fashionable loft, but the result will always be positive.

Eclectic

An important advantage of brickwork is its ability to adapt to the already formed image of the room and the materials used in its arrangement. Therefore, in the living room where it is installed wooden furniture and the floor, forged or stucco decorative elements, cotton or velvet textiles - you can safely use brick as a decoration for a site, or the surface of one of the walls completely.

Industrial plaque

No interior designed in the Loft style is complete without the use of brickwork, which is considered one of its notable features. But in order to create a distinctly industrial character in the room, brick cladding should look as if she existed here for a very long time, and saw the first owners of the apartment.

In short, choose a brick with an "antique" effect, - a heterogeneous color, with chips and cracks. When laying the material, you do not have to worry about the fact that the mortar for the joints lays down unevenly, in some places accumulating in clots, because this is the beauty of industrial-style masonry.

Exquisitely

Another, in our opinion, an incredibly effective and very aesthetic way of using brickwork in the interior of the living room. The surface of the brick wall should be putty so that the relief of the material is not felt, but the unique pattern of the masonry is preserved. After that, you can tint the wall in a pastel neutral shade: powdery, ivory, light gray. This is a great option for decorating "feminine" living rooms, for example, in vintage style.

Topical staining

Brickwork can look quite modern and even more charismatic if the wall is painted in a rich color: dark blue, graphite, burgundy. The technique of painting brick walls also requires attention, and a rather serious approach, because brick is natural porous material, which must first be properly prepared - pickle, putty, prime, and then proceed to painting in several layers in order to obtain the desired color or shade.

More recently, brick was used only as construction material... Over time, designers increasingly offer it for wall cladding in rooms. A brick wall in the interior or brick-like wallpaper has a peculiar charm. Here is history, eclecticism, and a touch of some mystery. How to harmoniously fit a fresh direction into the design of the premises?

The brick wall in natural shades is in perfect harmony with the wooden ceiling beams and columns. This is especially true in country-style interiors.

Brickwork is an eternal companion to fireplaces. A painting or black and white family photos will look beautiful against its background. In order for the living room not to resemble medieval halls, dilute the interior with an abundance of textiles, decorative sofa cushions and a stylish carpet.

Most often, the brick wall in the bedroom acts as an impromptu headboard. Such an original approach to interior design will create the effect of modern luxury.

In the case of walls in light colors, whiten the masonry slightly so that the impression of a foreign element is not created. You can go from the opposite, leaving all the brick walls unfinished, except for one fragment. Against the background of such a bedroom, vintage pieces of furniture, an old chest and a rocking chair will look great.

For a Mediterranean look, avoid using dark bricks. Plastered walls and white painted masonry will enhance the effect of airiness and open space. The natural shades of bricks are ideally combined with the natural colors of the wood. Moreover, the use of this kind of finish is not limited to walls. Bay windows, niches and ledges, decorated with bricks, will be an excellent element of the bedroom design.

Unfortunately, there are not many free surfaces in the kitchen in an average apartment for decoration with bricks. The most common place for finishing is an apron. Here you can use both the original material and its substitutes in the form of ceramic tiles.

Also, with the help of bricks, you can arrange the space around the cooking area, and for finishing the apron, choose a facing tile similar in shade to the color of the masonry. This will provide an opportunity to create balance in the kitchen interior.

With the help of a brick wall, you can delimit the space by separating the work area from the dining area. Its presence dilutes the sterility of the kitchen, bringing dynamism and animation to the interior. Hanging shelves for dishes or jars of spices look great against the background of natural-colored masonry.

Brick painted in various shades of gray blend harmoniously with glass table and Scandinavian-style furniture.

Studying all kinds of design options, it is very difficult to decide in favor of any one. There is no need to be afraid of bold ideas and be content with little. If you liked the interior with a brick wall, do not deny yourself the pleasure and bring to life the desired stylistic solution.
