One of the most interesting design styles spotted right from homes to cafés and bars is an exposed brick wall. If you like playing with interesting tactile textures in your home, an exposed brick wall is one of the easiest ways you can incorporate an accent wall. The best part? It looks stunning in almost any part of your home depending on the finish and colour you use. Remember, the wall still needs to look presentable and not give off an undone, distressed look. If you're wondering how you can get one, here are 10 ways you can incorporate a brick wall pattern in your home.

Kitchen Backsplash

Brick Walls don't have the same ease of maintenance as, say, tiles. However, they bring in an enormous lightness to your kitchen, especially if you're working with a small space. Get a brick wall backsplash on walls other than where your hob is situated. Set up floating cabinets and display your favourite cookbooks, or use it for your herb planters.

Living Room

Wondering what elements in your living room would be a conversation starter? Consider installing a brick wall as an accent wall to go behind your couch and side tables. This works well if you have neutral coloured furniture, since the wall makes them pop even more. Get minimal line drawing wall art and warm spot lights to complete the look.

Balcony

Being one of the most hardy, weather resistant materials, brick walls are perfect for outdoor spaces as much as they're perfect for the indoors. Get contrasting metal artwork, install planters, or create a meditation corner against the backdrop to achieve a stunning outdoor balcony space for yourself.

Window Seat

Window seats are one of the cosiest spots in any home, allowing fresh air and light to enter everyday. Create a relaxing reading nook or a self care nook with a brick wall, comfy seating complete with cosy floor cushions and rugs. Since the wall has enough texture going, pick a colour that goes with the rest of the home to create a seamless wall structure.

Getting some beautiful art or decor at the foyer creates a visual story for yourself and your guests the second they step inside your home. Set up a table to hold your essentials like keys and other essentials. The seemingly boring space can easily be filled with a ton of character with the simple brick wall.

Study or Library Space

We're pretty sure you love the brick wall aesthetic already if you like reading. How about setting up your study or library against a beautiful brick wall? Install your bookshelves and a comfy reading chair along with a contrasting floor lamp so you can spend hours reading or working from your aesthetic space.

Bedroom Accent Wall

If you're digging the industrial aesthetic lately, install an accent wall in your bedroom in a bright red or a neutral shade. Complete the look with black pendant lamps, and other metal accents to finish your rugged bedroom space. You could also use a wallpaper brick design if you like the look, but not the texture.

Vanity Wall

If you like taking your time to get dressed, how about getting a pretty brick wall installed in your closet or dressing space? If not for a plain white brick wall, you could colour it in pretty pastel shades too. Finish off your vanity with a pretty vintage dresser, mirrors and clear containers for your makeup and skincare essentials.

Dining Area

Working with a cosy space? Brick walls are a great way to demarcate spaces, especially if they're shared or are open to other parts of the home like your living room or kitchen. Pick a wall by the dining table so it feels like its own space, and complete it with pendant lights above the table to create a cosy dining space.

Terrace Seating

Terraces are especially beautiful during the monsoons and winters, and can be a great getaway from the warm indoors in the summer. Irrespective of the weather, a brick wall is durable and looks pretty even when slightly distressed. Install one in a covered space that you can use to read or have meals in. Install a deck, some outdoor furniture, string lights, and you're set for cosy romantic evenings on your own pretty terrace.
