Leaving a project unfinished may seem like sloppy work, but if it’s done in the right way, it can have a fantastic effect on your home’s decor. Check out these ways to expose the innards of your house tastefully:
- Structural Wood – The most common exposure, allowing the joists to show can be used to great effect. Work around the type of wood: for dark woods, combining them with a white ceiling will work well; for lighter woods, you may opt for darker ceilings.
- Bricks – Using these, especially as a feature wall, can bring out texture and color to a room, creating greater interest than was otherwise there.
- Ductwork – Warehouses may not be where you usually look to for decor inspiration, but ductwork, in the right environment can have a striking, raw look. Just be sure to keep your ductwork shiny and clean, or it will look like a sloppy design choice.
