The 1990s were a time when the design and decoration of living quarters became more delicate. The vivid colors of the 70s and 80s were replaced by more subdued shades such as beige and white. Simple, straight lines of eclectic interiors have once again become popular. But, as you know, fashion is cyclical, old trends come back sooner or later. The style of the 90s has become uninteresting for modern homeowners: color and textural contrast and many styles that go beyond the ordinary come back again. And it was this mini-revival that once again opened the beautiful brick wall to the design world!
Today you will see the best bedrooms, the main advantage of which are open brick walls. The brick wall in the bedroom offers much more than just contrast; often it provides the highlight that you need.

Trendy industrial style bedrooms
There are many reasons to love the brick walls in the bedrooms, the question is not limited solely to their aesthetic splendor. This trend is largely driven by practicality: many architects and interior designers across the planet are increasingly resorting to adaptive reuse of old designs. For homeowners who want to turn an old factory, barn, warehouse, or even a church into a beautiful, elegant, and unique apartment building, the brick wall is once again in the spotlight. The brick wall in the bedroom is a treasure that can be displayed with pride and panache.

It is hard to deny that a brick wall seems very appropriate in industrial bedrooms, where there are elements such as exposed air duct pipes, large windows with metal frames and exposed wooden beams. A brick wall is an integral part of this narrative, and any industrial-style interior without it would definitely seem incomplete. Of course, if you wish, you can create a softer and more comfortable atmosphere in these industrial bedrooms by adding light strokes of a modern one and following the path of industrial chic.
On the other side of the reddish hue
If your bedroom already has a brick wall, the amount of work ahead will obviously be significantly less. All you need in this case is to slightly clean the masonry and apply a layer of sealant, which will prevent the destruction of the brick over time. You can choose a regular sealant or one that will give a brick wall a glossy sheen and thereby make it more suitable for a modern bedroom. You can abandon the natural orange-reddish shade of the brick and paint the wall in a color consistent with the color palette of the rest of your bedroom.

White is the perfect choice for a brick wall in a modern bedroom. This color gives the room a cheerful mood, lightness and a sense of spaciousness. Keep in mind that staining a brick wall will require more coats of paint than usual due to the porous structure of the brick. The whitewashed brick wall also looks no less stylish - at the same time a surface is born that seems genuinely aged and rustic. Next to the list of preferred colors for the brick wall is gray, it is most often used in modern bedrooms.
Brick wall bedroom decoration
When decorating a bedroom with a brick, do not dwell on the walls alone. Approach the issue of decoration, as if you were decorating the interior of any other space. If you pay too much attention to the uniqueness of the walls, there is a risk that they will “take over” the space completely and begin to dictate the style of the interior. However, if your bedroom has a lot of temporary and temporary elements, then it is possible that an accent brick wall is all you need. Let the rest of the room "evolve" in a natural way, with decor and favorite accessories.

If the bedroom is surrounded by brick walls on all sides, break this monotony with wardrobes, large mirrors or even randomly placed artworks on the floor that will distract your attention. This will destroy the tedious look of continuous brick walls and create an atmosphere of elegance and coziness in the bedroom.
Small and comfortable
In a small bedroom, an open brick wall is even more attractive because it brings an atmosphere of warmth and coziness to a modest room. The correct strategy here will be to choose a monotonous appearance (which we did not advise doing in large rooms), which will avoid visual fragmentation. One of the options for implementing this strategy may be to paint the accent brick wall in white so that it “mixes” with the rest of the room.

The exact opposite approach - to make the brick wall in the small bedroom the center of attention - also works from time to time, especially when you need a unique wall at the head of the bed! Once again we make a reservation that what works in one small bedroom may not seem so impressive in another.
Zest and style
Be creative when working against a brick wall in your bedroom; consider using custom styles and décor. Your bedroom is a personal space that, unlike the living room or kitchen, allows you to experiment with styles. Take advantage of this. Here you have the opportunity to express yourself. Perhaps you are an avid graffiti artist and want to showcase your talent on this brick wall! You can follow the path of placing wireless monitors, artwork and bright lighting on a brick wall. Whatever your choice, don't be afraid to go beyond the borders!
