Depth Through Open Staircases, Identity Through Brick Surfaces

In modern interiors, every surface plays a role beyond aesthetics — it becomes a tool for defining the spirit of the space. The image above beautifully illustrates how a clay red brick wall paired with an open staircase design can establish a strong spatial language. This combination showcases an aesthetic rooted in material honesty, geometric form, and natural light.

Defining Character with Brick

In this setting, brick is not merely a background — it is a statement.

• Clay-based red bricks add warmth and serenity, especially when paired with daylight.

• Their rhythmic pattern complements the simplicity of wooden furniture and artwork, creating visual harmony.

• Spanning the wall, brick helps organize the space both horizontally and vertically — defining transitions.

 Volume and Flow Through Open Stairs

The open staircase in this interior:

• Connects levels seamlessly without breaking visual continuity.

• While there is no enclosed space beneath, the open risers allow air and light to pass through, giving depth to the wall.

• As daylight shifts, the steps cast shadows across the bricks, creating a dynamic surface effect.

 Soften the Texture with Nature

To balance the strong, textured presence of brick, indoor plants are used strategically.
Large-leaved greenery in this setting softens the look and introduces a refreshing natural element to the design.

Dialogue Between Art and Surface

The framed artwork placed on the brick wall doesn’t just decorate — it interacts with the material.
This contrast between smooth graphic lines and the raw surface of brick creates a compelling visual narrative.

Craft Coverings Recommendation: Brick in Modern Design

• In open-plan homes, brick can serve as both a surface finish and a spatial guide.

• The natural texture of red clay brick complements modern forms, achieving a timeless visual identity.

• Slim-format, lightweight bricks — like those in the image — add depth without overwhelming the space.

If you want to create memorable design moments in your home, not just transitions, but emotional pauses — brick-defined areas like this offer true inspiration.
