When it comes to decorating your home, more times than not, you will automatically think to start with your furniture, wall colors, and accent pieces, but have you ever thought to start with the bare materials of the room? Raw materials, such as brick, wooden beams, concrete, and steel, can all be aesthetically pleasing when they are left exposed in your home design.
Exposed Wood
If your home has exposed wood built into the design, let that wood be a part of your room's décor. Exposed wood will automatically give your space a natural feel to it, so choosing a neutral color theme for your room will make for a beautiful and welcoming area.

The Beauty of Brick
While it can come off as cold, brick, when paired correctly with the right décor, can create a cozy atmosphere in your home. Brick adds character, charm, texture, and color to your space, making it a key player in your room's design.
