Some Ideas to Consider …

  • Embrace Historic Character in Your New Home With Brick Walls

    Brick has long served as a traditional building material and remains an excellent choice for your home. It adds character, texture, and visual interest to any space whether the brick is distressed, painted, or left in its original state. While it’s typically used on home exteriors, brick interior walls can give a traditional home some added historic character.

    Brick walls in a new home provide:

    • Texture: You can add texture to a room whether you choose to leave the brick a deep red or if you opt to paint it. The bricks offset softer linens and furnishings and provide a classic feel to any traditionally styled room.
    • Character: A brick wall will add character and visual interest to any room.  It will also provide depth and an interesting backdrop for art work, photographs, and linens.
    • A sense of history: Bricks evoke a bygone era and elevate a room’s design by providing a sense of history. You can play up this historical connection by pairing the brick with modern design elements and today’s hottest design trends.
