For our latest lookbook, we've collected 10 interior projects from Dezeen's archive that feature exposed brickwork, from industrial-looking walls to vaulted ceilings.
The exposed brickwork lends these interiors a rustic, comforting feel. Rather than covering the interior walls with paint or wallpaper, the designers have left them as they were originally constructed, giving the walls an industrial quality.
Interior designers from Belgium to Brazil have incorporated exposed brick walls in their projects, often pairing the trend with other rustic elements.
This is the latest roundup in our Dezeen Lookbooks series that provide visual inspiration for designers and design enthusiasts. Previous lookbooks include cosy cabin bedrooms, Shaker-style interiors and rooms that look as if they are part of a Wes Anderson film.

Placed at the back of the L-shaped property, locally-made bricks were used for the barrel vaults, which intend to echo the many "brick facades, yards and lanes," common to York, according to studio founder Ben Allen.
