After reading many older posts, I am aware that many on this forum don’t think brick should be exposed…but it looks so good!

I would love to have at least some exposed brick in our house. Are there ways to safely do a section of a wall for aesthetics?

Some commenters have warned of possible issues to keep in mind — like losing heat and hearing more noise from neighbors — but what do you think? Would you advise going for the exposed brick? Share your thoughts in the original post.
