Brick flooring is almost always more than just a series of red rectangles. In fact, brick comes in such a wide variety of colors, shapes, and patterns that it can often be difficult to imagine how a brick floor might look in your home. Therefore, the best way to understand how this versatile flooring material can work is to look at a range of brick styles and patterns installed in a variety of rooms. In most cases, the dramatic effect of brick flooring speaks for itself.

    Combine Brick Pavers and Wood Planks

    One of the great things about brick flooring is that it has many of the same rustic, natural characteristics of real stone, without a lot of the drawbacks. This allows it to be successfully used in a variety of primitive and cabin style decorative flooring patterns. Some specially treated brick materials can even be made to order with an aged, weathered look that will give the floor a sense of personality and history.

    In this picture, we see a brick floor paired with heart-pine cross beam planks. The bricks are a "salvaged" style that mimics reclaimed brick from old buildings. Laid in a basic herringbone pattern, or bond, each brick section forms a square of infill within a grid of wood.

    Brick is often chosen as flooring for an entryway because it is durable, stain-resistant, and easy to clean. Regular upkeep is merely a matter of sweeping, vacuuming, or wet-mopping the surface.

    In this eye-catching design, sections of brick are divided by hardwood planking, creating a visual pathway leading in from the front door. The bond pattern of all three sections is a basic herringbone, but the center section is set at an angle to the other two.

    The easy maintenance of brick flooring makes it very popular for kitchens. Here, the multi-hued red coloring of the brick is able to pick up subtle hints of blushing hues in the mahogany cabinets. The herringbone pattern is very simple, creating a cross-cut visual that makes this small space seem larger than it actually is. The speckled gray granite countertops finish the effect, giving the quaint rustic style of the room a polished look.

    Brick flooring isn't limited to squares and rectangles. This patio is laid with thin brick pavers that are preinstalled onto sheets of mesh, similar to tile mosaics. The sheets can fit together in a few different configurations so it is very difficult to detect a repeating pattern in the finished installation.

    Thin brick flooring offers a great way to decorate a plain concrete patio slab with a natural stone look but without the difficult installation and high maintenance of real stone.

    This foyer features red brick pavers set into a framework of hand-scraped cypress planks. The planks are installed to create the illusion of a basketweave pattern that shows off the natural characteristics of the wood, and this is complemented by the bricks' pinwheel pattern. The result is a floor that looks like a dozen frames of multi-colored brick art.
