Get exposed in 2012!

Everything exposed:  It's a trending interior design feature that is becoming widely popular for 2012.  The following list is where the exposed look is being seen the most:


- Exposed spiral duct work in a commerical space or loft condominium
- Exposing an existing brick wall; many times leading up a staircase
- Adding exposed antique beams to a great room or den 


Exposing these archtiectural elements is a creative way of making a space feel more unique, warm and tasteful.  Not only is it a great look, it is also very cost efficient.  When exposing an existing brick wall or deciding to not cover some existing beams/ductwork, you are saving money on the cost of drywall, interior trim and painting!  Next time you're out and about -- whether it be a friend's house or at your favorite local restaurant -- take a look to see if they've incorporated any of these exposed features into their space.  If they did, you know they're up to speed!
