Brick in the interior: 70 modern photos and ideas

Brick in the interior: finishing methods

Brickwork can be used for finishing in a variety of ways:

• Fragment. The masonry forms 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 is used to highlight the part of the wall to which they want to pay special attention. This can be the location of the TV panel, part of the wall behind the head of the bed, fireplace area, or another.

• Wall. An entire brick wall in an interior can also look very decorative. Usually, in this way, the part of the room that bears the main semantic load is distinguished. In the living room, this 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. Individual architectural elements can be built from bricks. This can be an arch or, for example, a section of a free-standing wall that can serve as the base of a bar counter, or a stand for an aquarium. Zoning partitions in studio apartments are also made of brick.

The main disadvantage of brick as a finishing material is its considerable weight and volume. In small rooms, the brick will "eat" a significant amount, which is undesirable. In such situations, you can use materials that mimic brickwork. A brick-like wall in the interior of a small room will create the necessary impression without reducing its area.

Brick color in interior design

The surface of the brickwork, as a rule, is processed in order to remove excessive porosity, facilitate cleaning and also harmoniously fit it into the style of the room. If it is necessary to leave natural masonry, it is covered with transparent compounds. But more often brick walls are painted, choosing the most suitable color in each case. Nothing stands in the way of making the brickwork green, purple or pink, but the traditional "brick" colors are most commonly used.

White brick in the interior

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

White additionally gives the effect of increasing the 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 background for displaying decorative elements of the situation on it. White brick wall can be combined in the same room with "traditional" masonry.

Gray brick in the interior

Gray, like white, is considered neutral. It creates a calm backdrop for displaying furniture and decorative design elements. Depending on the saturation, gray can play a different role in a 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 in this color. Dark gray will add chamberness and intimacy, create a soothing atmosphere, although it will visually conceal the volume.

Red brick in the interior

As a rule, "red" refers to the shades of ordinary bricks made from clay. Although nothing prevents to paint the masonry red, if the design idea requires it. Red brick walls are appropriate for almost all styles, including Gothic and Classics. 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 can be "lost" against their background, for example, a table of a simple shape made of wood similar in tone can be practically invisible.

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

Elements of brickwork can be entered into a room for any purpose, from the entrance area to the room in the bathroom or toilet. The main thing is to choose an option that will perfectly match 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 with a free-standing brick partition, if the area allows. You can decorate a section of the wall in the hallway with masonry, set aside for a clothes hanger, thereby highlighting it in a separate area. Console tables for gloves and other trifles, over which a large mirror is hung, look spectacular near a brick wall.

Kitchen

Most often in the kitchen, brickwork serves as an "apron" near the work surface. Here, as a rule, decorative bricks are used, which have special characteristics and a smooth surface, which makes cleaning easier.

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

Living room

A brick partition can separate the living room area from the rest in an open-plan apartment. In addition, false columns are faced with bricks, a wall is laid out near the fireplace. A sofa or TV area is also distinguished by masonry.

Bedroom

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

Plumbing rooms

Brick can also be used in bathrooms and toilets - there are no restrictions, the material can withstand both high temperature and humidity. Different zones in the room are distinguished with brickwork, or they are separated by partitions.
