14 Stunning Brick Wall Bedrooms to Inspire Your Sleep Space

There are two words that always make me pause with joy when I’m looking at an apartment or house listing: exposed brick. I mean, who doesn’t love it? It adds so much texture and character to a home, and it requires zero maintenance. 

While exposed brick can work in any space, a bedroom with a brick wall can be especially inviting. If you have a brick wall bedroom or want to create a faux brick wall in your home, you may be wondering how to style it. These 14 brick wall bedroom ideas will give you a wide range of options to choose from, whether you’re into minimalism, maximalism, or something in between.

Cozy meets classic in the brick wall bedroom of this homey Montreal nest.

Even a small area with an exposed brick wall can become a cozy sleeping space. The renter of this 400-square-foot Brooklyn apartment turned his bed sideways so it’s facing the brick accent wall in his bedroom.

The bedroom in this Philadelphia loft lets its brick accent wall take center stage with its simple wooden bed frame, white bedding, white walls, and beige carpet.

While there are some colors that look amazing with exposed brick, pink might not be the most obvious choice for styling a red brick wall bedroom. Still, the owners of this colorful Australian home make pink the focal point of their guest bedroom, and it works.

The only thing that’s better than a brick wall is a brick wall that contains a fireplace.

The space is simultaneously weightless and grounded, making it the perfect place to get some peace and quiet.
