We’re always curious to see which trends interior designers predict will shape our homes in the year ahead, and 2025 is no exception. This year, we’re excited about the emergence of bold patterns, cozy reading nooks, and moody interior paint colors. On the exterior front, we’re seeing a shift towards personalization, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and a focus on sustainability. While Brick and other materials are being reimagined and utilized in exciting ways to reflect these emerging design trends for 2025 homes.
The importance of Brick in Contemporary Design
Brick has long been a staple in home construction, offering durability and timeless appeal. In 2025, we’re seeing Brick prominently featured in stunning exteriors and inspired interiors. Here are six key design trends where Brick is more than just an essential element: sustainability, integrated outdoor living, earthy neutrals for the exterior and adaptive reuse, textured walls and ceilings, and earthy neutrals for the interior.
Sustainable Brick for Eco-Friendly Living
Sustainability in brick has been front and center in design trends for the past couple of years and remains a key priority in 2025. Homeowners and designers alike are increasingly focused on creating beautiful spaces that are also kind to the planet. Vegan leathers, non-toxic materials, and eco-friendly products are no longer just options; they’re essentials. This makes Brick from North Georgia Brick the perfect material for today’s homes. Made from natural resources like clay and water, Brick has a minimal environmental footprint. Its incredible durability means it lasts a long time, reducing the need for constant replacements and minimizing construction waste. And when a brick building finally reaches the end of its life, it can be recycled! That makes Brick a smart choice for those who are building green. Beyond its eco-friendliness, Brick adds a timeless elegance to any space, whether used for a modern farmhouse or a sleek urban loft. Its versatility allows for endless creative possibilities, from classic facades to contemporary interiors. In 2025, Brick continues to be a stylish and sustainable choice for homeowners looking to create beautiful and responsible living spaces.
Integrated Outdoor Living with Brick
The trend towards seamless indoor-outdoor living continues to gain momentum in 2025. Homeowners are increasingly blurring the lines between their interior and exterior spaces, creating comfortable and stylish outdoor retreats that feel like an extension of the home. Brick plays a key role in achieving this seamless flow. Imagine a living room with a brick fireplace seamlessly transitioning to a patio paved with the same material. This creates a visual connection and reinforces the feeling of an extended living space. We’re also seeing innovative designs where retractable glass doors or large windows blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors, showcasing the beautiful brickwork throughout the space.
Adaptive Reuse with Brick
Adaptive reuse is a major design trend in 2025, breathing new life into old buildings and repurposing existing materials to create unique, modern spaces. This approach not only minimizes waste but also preserves architectural heritage. We’re going to be seeing a lot of exposed brick walls in loft apartments and converted warehouses, showcasing the building’s original structure. Brick is starring in this trend, adding a touch of history and character to renovated spaces. Kitchen islands will be crafted from reclaimed Brick, blending rustic charm with contemporary design. There are many creative ways to incorporate Brick into adaptive reuse projects, leading to stunning and sustainable interior designs.
Textured Walls & Ceilings with Brick
In 2025, expect a dramatic shift away from the era of plain, featureless walls. Texture is taking center stage, with patterned wallpaper on walls and ceilings, LVT in herringbone pattern on the ceiling, and exposed wooden beams will add depth and visual interest to interior spaces. Brick, with its inherent textural qualities, fits seamlessly into this trend. From exposed brick walls to intricately patterned brick veneers, the variety of finishes and colors allows for endless creative possibilities. Whether paired with minimalist furnishings or incorporated into an industrial-inspired aesthetic, Brick adds a touch of warmth and character to any space, transforming flat surfaces into dynamic focal points.
Earthy Neutral Shades Complement Brick
Among the color trends for 2025, earthy neutrals are having a moment. Shades like terracotta, ochre, and sage bring a sense of calm and groundedness to interiors. These colors, inspired by the natural world, evoke a sense of tranquility and comfort, making them ideal for creating serene living spaces. Earthy neutrals are incredibly versatile, working beautifully with various materials, including Brick. Brick beautifully complements these earthy tones in colors ranging from warm reds to cool grays. On the exterior, a brick facade in a warm terracotta shade can create a striking contrast against a backdrop of lush greenery. Brick walls in a soft white or a light gray provide a neutral canvas for pops of earthy colors, like sage green accents or ochre-toned furnishings, creating a harmonious and inviting living environment.
Brick Backsplashes in Kitchens and Bathrooms
Last year, integrated backsplashes were a major trend, and this popularity is set to continue in 2025. Backsplashes are the focal point of any kitchen or bathroom, adding a touch of personality and style to the space. They can be a dramatic statement piece or a subtle backdrop, and the right choice can significantly impact the overall look and feel of the room. Brick veneer also offers a warm and inviting alternative to traditional tile options. From an industrial aesthetic to a more rustic look, brick backsplashes are anything but boring. We expect to see a rise in thin Brick used to create a modern take on the classic subway tile, as well as the use of red herringbone brick for a bold and dramatic statement.
Embracing 2025 Design Trends with Brick
With so many creative options, 2025 is the perfect year to transform your home’s exterior and interior with Brick.
