Bricks are very on-trend at the moment. We’re seeing exposed brick walls and feature walls cropping up everywhere, and we think it can be beautiful if it’s done right. We’ve put together this article to help you when choosing bricks for your walls and home.

What you should consider when choosing bricks

Colour

There’s a great array of colour choice out there. Consider how the colour of the brick will fit with the other colours already in your space.

Surrounding materials

Think about how the colour, texture and finish of the bricks will look alongside the other materials and furnishings in your home.

Style

You might consider the style of your home or space. Whether it’s a modern unit or a farmhouse, bricks can compliment the style or theme that you already have.

Location

The location of your home might even affect your choice of brick. You might choose to bring the outside in. For example, if you live near the coast a sandstone, light coloured brick might work for your space.

Budget

Of course, budget is a consideration for most projects. And like all materials, bricks vary in price. Recycled brick can be an option and is often cheaper than buying them brand new.
