Embrace The Dark Side With Corobrik Face Brick
Image featuring Corobrik Onyx Satin Face Brick
As contemporary design trends are heartily welcoming bolder, moodier hues, homes are becoming deliciously dark and daring!
There’s no sitting on the fence and playing it safe with 2019 design, and this mentality is clearly embedded in top architect’s latest and greatest works (look at Shh Architectures’ London home or Denizen Works’ Haddo Yard for example).
From dusky grey’s and bright blacks to burnt umber or brown, murky neutrals can be seen gracing the interiors and exteriors of current residential and commercial buildings.
Fortunately, this exciting new trend hasn’t gone unnoticed by South Africa’s leading brick manufacturer, Corobrik! After paying attention to their customers needs and wants, they have expanded their range to include products such as Titanium, Onyx and Black Brick.
To show you what a dream some of these striking shades of dark face brick are to work with in terms of exposed interior and exterior walls, we have selected a few of our top Corobrik design pics. Feast your eyes!
3 Designs That Dare To Go Dark
Wave Goodbye To White Bathrooms
Steering away from the clinical all-white bathroom, this design uses the rich, earthy brown undertones of the exposed brick wall to add warmth and depth to the room.
Wits Art Museum Forms City Centrepiece
With all the hustle and bustle of the city, the Wits Art Museum exterior does an excellent job of standing out and demanding onlooker’s attention. And it’s all thanks to their divine choice of dark face brick to form their highly textured façade.
A Muddy Masterpiece To Admire
This patio successfully merges the more sombre shades of contemporary tastes and the naturalistic spirit of African design using the richly textured, onyx wall as its anchor.
