With plans to move to Manchester in full swing, it’s time to
think about interiors for our new pad. Manchester is famed for its red brick
architecture (part of the reason I love this city so much) and the city is
awash with converted mills and factories that feature gorgeous red brickwork
complete with huge windows in many a flat.
Red brickwork had me at hello on first viewings of ‘Gossip
Girl.’ Dan and Rufus (and Jenny) Humphrey live in a gorgeous converted loft in
Brooklyn, NYC on the show and the place oozes bohemian style with stacks of
records, guitars and worn in furniture.
Brickwork adds warmth to a room and gives it a traditional ‘rustic’
feel. I personally prefer brickwork in open living spaces in kitchens but as
these photos suggest- red brick really does work for a bedroom too.
Sourcing iron furniture to go with the walls will complement
the traditional industrial feel to the room but plush sofas, rugs, warm lighting and wooden
accents will make a converted loft feel more like home.
