Exposed brick walls in home interiors lend a warmth and character to a space.  They are often seen in converted lofts, the remnants of warehouses.  Many times the brick is covered over with drywall or painted.  But if you want character, keeping the brick in its natural state is the solution.  Here are interiors where brick warms and enhances in all its natural glory.

Brick is a natural choice for the kitchen.  It can warm up a traditional kitchen with character and charm or provide a great contrast against modern steel appliances.
