Ways of interior design with a brick wall
Natural
This method is applicable in brick buildings, when it is possible, having cleaned the wall of finishing materials and plaster, to expose natural brickwork. To get a white brick in the interior, the opened masonry is washed, dried and then treated with special compounds to form a protective coating.
If red bricks were used in the construction of the house, the wall will have to be painted with white paint. In the event that there are defects in the brickwork - chips, cracks, they can be eliminated with the help of special tools, but they do not do this more often, then the wall will give the interior a touch of noble antiquity. Too new walls even deliberately age to get this effect.
Decorative
If the walls in the house are not brick, various decorative techniques will help to create a white brick wall in the interior:
- Facing brick. This brick can lay out individual architectural details: the corners of the walls, fireplace, doorways, as well as completely one of the walls.
- Tile. You can use ceramic tiles that simulate white brick. The use of tiles facilitates the work of decorating the wall, as well as caring for it. Such an imitation looks quite believable.
- Wallpaper. The most budgetary option of imitating white brick in the interior is the use of wallpaper with a similar pattern. They can be easily glued on their own, saving on work. However, such an imitation looks rather rude.
Brick walls in different rooms of the apartment
Living room
The white wall creates a magnificent background, on which decorative accents look very advantageous. At the same time, too hard white color is softened by the texture of the brick, which makes the atmosphere more comfortable.

If the room has a fireplace, facing not only the walls, but also the fireplace itself with white brick will look spectacular.
Bedroom
Despite the fact that the bedroom is one of the most comfortable and intimate rooms in the apartment, and in it a wall of white brick will be in place. Usually they lay a wall at the head of the bed, but there are other options. For example, white masonry will help to zone the room if the bedroom is combined with the study.
