Exposed brick

I suppose its a feature one might either love or hate, after all it dominates a space. I have pondered the decision for a while and settled upon loving it. Friends of mine have a room attached to their house which leaves exposed brick along one wall (what was the exterior of the house) and have asked my opinion on covering it/painting it/leaving it………
Initially I wasn’t sure because as it stands it looks a little dated. The longer I mulled over it, the more excited I became. Different concepts kept me awake at night (and distracted during the day). The raw, textured nature of the brick is versatile enough to work with so many styles and whats more the rest of their home gives off a contemporary vibe with a slightly rustic/industrial edge so with just a few tweaks………
