EXPOSE YOUR BRICKWORK


When building or renovating, we tend to finish our walls with either render or plasterboard. And there's nothing wrong with that. But have you considered leaving a few walls with the exposed brickwork? The grittier the finish the better, I say. And if you can manage to leave behind a bit of the old render or traces of paint, well you have a cracker finish! It can instantly transform your space into a cool New York loft vibe. I love the idea of pairing the raw look of exposed bricks with crisp white walls and black metal. But there really are no rules. If bare brick is a step too much for you, try painting the brickwork. You'll get a gorgeous textural finish and it's far more interesting than a smooth rendered finish. If your space doesn't offer any opportunities to have the real deal, there are some great wallpaper options that can look quite convincing.
