Exposed brick is a structural and aesthetic element that I often associate with more cozy and traditional interiors.
Yet it can be also look great in a more transitional and contemporary space.
Brick in a kitchen brings in an element of warmth to an otherwise modern kitchen.
When we lived in NYC I had a few friends who sometimes thought brick was a challenge in their apartments, but I think it is a fantastic and unique interior feature. Isn’t this smart to hang a fixture from the pipe?
The below space looks like a fabulous wedding dress or vintage shop.
I love how a few of the pieces are hung from the walls.
Don’t you want to go hang out on that tufted sofa and try on dresses? I do!

I love the texture exposed brick gives to a room. So many want to paint it and I almost never suggest that unless it sticks out like a sore thumb in the room. You have some great images showing how great it can look,KATHYSUE
Love it. Ithink the whte grout in all of them makes a huge difference. Great pick of pics.
Makes me want to sing – “She’s a brick house – lookin all mighty mighty” -
My 11 year old daughter wants a brick wall in her bedroom! I think it can have an old yet hip vibe to any space. Fantastic images. Wait, I always say that when I stop here.

beautiful. I love exposed brick. we exposed a chimney in our kitchen in a former house we had and loved it…
I always think it LOOKS good, but I hate it in a house, prefer it for office spaces. I just think it feels/looks dirty and is very cold. That said though, these photos are all gorgeous!
I am SO loving that formal chandelier hanging in the modern red brick room. Yin Yang that works!!
I love exposed brick Laura. You have chosen some beautiful examples! I want to save every one of them in my inspiration files.
I used that first image in one of my very first blog posts — so yes, I also love that look!
I am joining you on that sofa! What a lovely room! And look at all that natural light.
Happy weekend to you, lovely Laura.

Love the home in the first two pictures! I cut them out of a magazine (Traditional Home?) years ago and if I ever build a house, I’m copying the exposed brick with arched doorways. I actually think it warms up a house. Great post!
Love exposed brick always! Hope you have having a great weekend.
I love seeking outdoor elements on the inside…brick, limestone, iron, garden elements, etc. I especially love the first two images!
