Brick in the interior: 70 modern photos and ideas

Brick in the interior: decoration methods

Masonry can be used for decoration in various ways:

• Fragment. Masonry is a small part of the wall, emphasizing the solidity of the walls of the house. This technique is used, for example, in the Scandinavian style.

• Accent. Brickwork allocates part of the wall, which they want to pay special attention to. This can be a place to place a TV panel, a part of the wall behind the head of the bed, a fireplace area or another.

• Wall. The whole brick wall in the interior can also look very decorative. Usually in this way the part of the room that carries the main semantic load is distinguished. In the living room it can be a wall near which the sofa is located, in the bedroom - a wall behind the head of the bed, in the kitchen - a wall near the dining area.

• Element. Separate architectural elements can be built from bricks. This can be an arch or, for example, a section of a separate wall, which can serve as the basis of a bar counter, or a stand for an aquarium. Brick also makes zoning partitions in studio apartments.

The main disadvantage of brick as a finishing material is its significant weight and volume. In small rooms, the brick will "eat" a significant amount, which is undesirable. In such situations, materials imitating masonry can be used. The “brick-like” wall in the interior of a small room will create the necessary impression and at the same time will not reduce its area.

Brick color in interior design

The surface of the masonry, as a rule, is treated in order to remove excessive porosity, facilitate cleaning, and also fit it as harmoniously as possible into the style of the room. If you want to leave natural masonry, it is covered with transparent compositions. But more often brick walls are painted, choosing in each case the most suitable color. Nothing prevents the brickwork from being green, purple or pink, but traditional “brick” colors are most often used.

White brick in the interior

White is the color most often used in the styles of minimalism, Scandinavian. In both of these styles, brick surfaces are the element that allows you to enrich the interior with minimal means - your texture. At the same time, they try to remove the color so as not to overload the visual perception. A great solution in such cases is to color the finished masonry in white.

White additionally gives the effect of increasing space, which is important for those cases when the area of ​​the room is small.In addition, a white brick wall can serve as an excellent backdrop for demonstrating decorative elements of the decor on it. A white brick wall can be combined in one room with "traditional" masonry.

Gray brick in the interior

Gray, like white, is considered neutral. It creates a calm backdrop to showcase furniture and decorative design elements. Depending on the saturation, gray may play a different role in the room.

Light gray will expand the space and slightly dim the brightness; it is appropriate to paint brickwork in rooms that are too brightly lit. Dark gray will add chamberliness and intimacy, create a calming atmosphere, although it will visually hide the volume.

Red brick in the interior

As a rule, “red” refers to shades of ordinary brick made from clay. Although nothing prevents to paint the masonry in red, if required by a design idea. Red brick walls are appropriate in almost all styles, including Gothic and classic. As a rule, they immediately attract attention and become the main decorative element of the interior.

Red brick walls no longer need additional decorations. It should be borne in mind that some pieces of furniture may even “get lost” against their background, for example, a simple-shaped table made of wood that is similar in tone can be almost invisible.

Brick in the interior of the room: in which rooms is it appropriate

Elements of brickwork can be entered into a room of any purpose, starting from the entrance area and ending with the room of a bathroom or toilet. The main thing is to choose an option that will fit perfectly with the furniture and the rest of the decoration.

Hallway

Here, brickwork will help to separate the entrance area from the rest, either with a rich brick texture on the walls, or a separate brick wall, if the area allows. You can make a masonry section of the wall in the hallway, reserved for a clothes hanger, thereby highlighting it in a separate area. The console tables for gloves and other trifles, above which a large mirror are hung, look spectacular near the brick wall.

Kitchen

Most often in the kitchen, brickwork serves as an “apron” near the work surface. Here, as a rule, decorative brick is used, which has special characteristics and a smooth surface, which facilitates cleaning.

Also in the kitchen you can highlight the dining area, bar counter, island table with masonry.

Living room

With a brick partition, you can separate the living area from the rest in a free-plan apartment. In addition, false columns are lined with brick, and a wall is laid out near the fireplace. A sofa or TV zone is also masonry.

Bedroom

Here, bricks are most often used for wall decoration at the head of the bed, emphasizing the texture of its special significance in the interior. Another popular option is to accentuate the masonry wall with a window. In small rooms it is better to give not the whole wall as a brick, but only a part of it, so as not to burden the perception of space.

Plumbing facilities

In bathrooms and toilets, brick can also be used - there are no restrictions, the material withstands both elevated temperature and humidity. Brickwork distinguishes various zones in the room, or they are separated by partitions.
