I would prefer natural stone cladding instead of exposed brick decor. This is simply because natural stone cladding can provide a classy and elegant appeal to the home. Also, it is easy to maintain and lasts long. Another reason I would prefer stone cladding is that it provides a modern touch to the interiors. I would also prefer patterned tiles or textured walls over exposed brick as I feel that it makes a space look more lively and beautiful.

Hi Abhi, All 4 have their own pros and cons. AAC, CLC and fly ash bricks are low in weight compared to clay bricks. Clay bricks are locally available. AAC and CLC block also ensure thermal insulation. Fly ash bricks are not suitable for cold weather. Depending on the location of the plot, easy availability of material you can choose among above four. Although I say, you can go with AAC blocks. -Thanks, -Neelam -Lines and Profile

Hi, The exterior of my home is brick cladded (real, clay brick). The living room walls are also brick cladded (3 sides of the wall). What types of paints/finishes can be applied to accentuate the brick wall feeling? I just want to elevate the naturalness of the brick, to give a fresh look, but at the same time do not want the walls to look too red or artificial. Leaving the walls as they are is not an option, as they look unkempt and uneven in color. Appreciate detailed suggestions (including the paint brands, color codes etc). Thanks,

Exposed colorful conduit is  or a fine groove cut to size and then covered up with bricks as also an option.
