Raw Brick Materials

The hidden beauty of raw brick materials

Once upon a time, the sighting of raw brick materials on completed construction projects was frowned upon. Why? Simply because most people found it odd, like it was an eyesore of some sort. It was considered a defect hence people felt the need to immediately conceal it with paint or wallpaper before anyone else noticed it, just to make sure it looked appealing.  

Back in the day, interior and exterior designs were aplenty! Personalised to each individual’s preference, people were more interested in various concepts that consist of furniture with floral prints or wallpapers with abstract patterns or one-of-a-kind antiques and so on.  

Now, most people do not seem to be very fascinated by fancy, over the top designs. Instead, they are steering towards the ‘minimalist’ direction, which is not necessarily a boring thing. This shows that they are beginning to opt for designs that serve a practical function and that makes sense, over designs that are plain eye candies.

That being said, raw brick materials are finally being accepted as it is openly displayed instead of being shamefully covered up. It projects a fresh look that suits most modern homes, commercial and work spaces.

Today, we gladly welcome this growing trend with open arms and here are three practical reasons why.

Less is more

The definition paints a picture perfect image - expressing the view of a minimalist approach to artistic or aesthetic matters.

It is a common misconception that ‘less is more’ is related to monetary cost. In a nutshell, people think that the lesser they invest, the more they will get out of it. Well, that is not the case.

It is not particularly about keeping a low budget when it comes to interior and exterior designs, but more to creating a big impact with small amounts of good quality materials to produce an aesthetically pleasing yet comfortable space.

Sleek and sophisticated

 With its neutral tones as well as rough texture, raw brick materials not only give your space that swanky industrial look, it also presents a cleaner, tidier and sleeker atmosphere. Don’t you think that raw brick materials somehow add a nonchalant vibe to a particular space? We do.

The clean and simple outlook also somehow reflects the characteristic of the designer - simple and straightforward. Surprisingly, the sophistication of raw brick materials does not create an uncomfortable vibe but makes a place more cosy and welcoming instead. This will definitely make guests feel right at home.

Maximises your space

If you own a small and tight space but want it to look extra spacious, raw brick materials should do the trick. The biggest rule in every interior design playbook is that dark shades automatically make a space look smaller. It creates an illusion that shows a particular room decreased in size.

The neutral and earthy shades of raw brick materials are more on the light side, therefore automatically makes a room look wide, broad and breezy. What is another reason to maintain neutral colours indoors? Your space will not look messy, chaotic and uncomfortable. You will feel relaxed and truly at ease.

Commonly used these days in modern homes, commercial and work spaces, the raw brick concept play a major role in bringing together an industrial ambience along with other suitable styles that blends well with one another. Similarly like combining both peanut butter and jelly.

Believe it or not, many interior and exterior aficionados are rapidly incorporating the industrial style into their homes, work spaces and even projects. It is cost effective, time efficient and not at all difficult to achieve.
