Exposed brick is an age-old way to add an industrial touch, nostalgia, and architectural detail to a space. Fortunately, you don't need to purchase a restored city loft to enjoy the look of exposed brick. Here are some ways to incorporate brick into your home without starting at the studs.

It doesn’t take much brick to make an impact. A brick wall in the mudroom or entryway of your house is practical for high traffic and makes an inviting statement. Kick off soccer cleats without any scuffs, let your dog in from the yard, and admire your space without much maintenance.

Whether it's on the gable end of a house or the exposed side of a two-story interior wall, tall walls can appear a bit bland without artwork. With brick, make your wall feel substantial and part of the design rather than a plain backdrop.

Accentuate unique details in your home with brick, like the area surrounding a window casing, the entryway from one room to the next, and the interior of a niche. Attention to detail makes your space charming and storied.
Play with the application of mortar to customize your look. A thinner application will create a clean and traditional look, while a generous application will add a more rustic touch.
