exposed brick

Trendy wall aesthetic

Exposed brick is interior brick left visible rather than covered by plaster or drywall.

Once considered unfinished or industrial, it became a sought-after aesthetic feature in homes and restaurants: The loft had gorgeous exposed brick throughout.

The term signals a particular urban-rustic style associated with converted warehouses and trendy renovations.
