One normally associates brick flooring with patios or paving, but I'm sure these pictures will convince you that brick floors work equally well inside the house.
It is a great option for kitchens, low maintenance and hard wearing.
It works particularly well in laundry rooms and utility areas...
.....but brick flooring doesn't have to be confined to the "back rooms" of the house. Here are some examples of where it has been used to great effect in entrance halls...
and living and dining rooms...
...and it is the perfect flooring to use for a wine room or cellar...
....and, while you are at it, why not use it on the ceiling as well?
Finally, it works surprisingly well in a bedroom or bathroom as illustrated here.
I hope you all have a wonderful week. I am off to Paris on Wednesday so I will say au revoir for a while but will certainly get back to blogging on my return.
Till next time

Such beauty!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS Sharon...I always loved the look of a brick floor! We are looking to replace the tile that's in our kitchen, foyer and powder room, this post has me thinking:)
ReplyDeleteBeauty! It's hard on the feet and legs though, so wouldn't put it in a kitchen; but an entry ....as your photos show...stunning.

ReplyDeleteI wish that we could have brick placed in our family room.
Bon Voyage!

I remember watching and trying to help my dad put a brick patio in when I was a little girl.. what a process that was, and a LONG time later it's still there. Beautiful inspiration here and I will need to pin a few:) I love the kitchen and laundry room! xxL

Sharon,
ReplyDeleteI love the look, its a killer on the back and knees when you have to stand on them for a prolonged amount of time, as when you are cooking for Thanksgiving. They look great in any room and I especially like the look of brick mixed with wood.

Sharon, I always find such great inspiration here. You have such great taste.

What wonderful picture. So many inspirational photos. I want a brick bathroom floor now.
ReplyDeleteWe put brick floors in our kitchen and "breakfast area". I love them! They add so much character and are most certainly the most talked about thing when we have guests over. For cleaning they are much easier than you think. They are crazy awesome at hiding the dirt! A simple broom or sweeper vacuum is usually all it takes. Mopping is just some plain water with a bit of dish soap and a string mop. (Good old fashioned swabbing the decks). They dry super fast and we never slip on them. We slipped like crazy before having them installed and that was part of the reason we had them installed.
ReplyDeleteDo you have suggestions on where to purchase bricks?
